  2. More beautiful photos; thanks for sharing. Those animals look so cold – even with their puffed-up plumage and fur.

  3. Jane Naliboff thank you once again for the amazing photos (Mr. Cardinal has quite the little attitude!!) I really appreciate the educational commentaries – I did not know why birds tuck on foot at a time under their feathers.

  4. These are amazing photos. I always enjoy the bird and deer pics. The Parker Pond photo is stunning. I look forward to the photos each week. Thanks for sharing, as always.
