Birds in Blizzard

On Monday last we had a blizzard on Prince Edward Island with over 80cm (32 inches) of snow in Charlottetown, 20 km (12 miles) away, and winds over 100km/hr (60 miles/hr). We lost power for 17 hours and part of that time I was entertained by birds at our feeders, some of which we would not normally see. I’ve just finished processing them and will post a few more bird photos later this week.

For this week’s photo challenge on the rule of thirds (and bokeh) I picked one of birds fighting at a niger seed feeder. More entries to the WordPress photo challenge are here.
