Cold and icy. I’m a little leery about walking on ice after last year’s broken arm, so I stayed on the clear spots and the deep snow while I looked for birds. I want to experiment with the new camera without risking another injury.
Graeme suggested using aperture priority and a higher ISO to get a decent shutter speed and some depth of field. Most of these photos are at ISO 1000, f9-10 and 1/2000-1/4000.

Several Red Bellied Woodpecker were in the area.
