[Leica] from the Avian Portrait Studio

[Jean-Michel Mertz]

Doug, you're absolutely the best bird photographer around. Amazing. Also, I'm wondering why there are so many different types of birds visiting your garden / studio ? Where I live, the only ones I could photograph if they'd be patient enough, are "sparrows" (I know, there are numbers of different types of sparrows, I haven't managed yet to make out differences!) and black birds and magpies  and chickadees ... I guess you provide your birds with a special treat!
Happy New Year to you and your family!
JM

Tomorrow I'll be released from quarantine so I'll be able to go farther afield but the last several days I've been occupied with the backyard Avian Portrait Studio where I've fund numerous suitable subjects:

Oak Titmouse, a relative of chickadees
