oh my goodness! this is one shot?!?! or are you combining images here in a composite? incredible!

@jenn mccabe I added one blue jay, the one in the center sitting on a branch. Actually, his color is a bit brighter than the others. I should fix that... The flying female cardinal (on the left) was in the same shot, but it got cut off when I enlarged it. So I moved it into the frame. It really was incredible. I saw them all flocking & had my camera ready, so I just kept on snapping photos thru my window. I didn't even realize what I captured until I downloaded them yesterday. And I used RadLab on the photo to brighten it.

Wow, that is awesome. I want to go buy bird seed now - we have a lot of birds, blue jays and cardinals included, but I don't see them all together like this in one spot. I did see a pair of Pileated Woodpeckers on my property about 2 -3 weeks ago. That was something! And yay for Rad Lab!

Woah! That is amazing. We have none of them here, and to see so many of them against the white snow ... just incredible. And beautifully scrapped too!

This does look magical!

I saw this on Lynn’s blog this morning, Marilyn. She put it perfectly...it’s like a fairytale. So unbelievable. Love it!!

Well done Marilyn! I wonder if arranging birds is easier than herding cats!

@cookingmylife Thanks. Actually, aside from the one cardinal & blue jay that I mentioned above, they were all in the shot, not much arranging necessary. They were flying and I just kept on shooting. It was definitely worth a snow day.
