Westminster got hammered with snow today. "Hammered" means getting 7" of the white stuff. Typically, we don't get a lot of snow here in Maryland. When we do, I always enjoy it. As my Steelers lost to Miami, and the Ravens beat out the Vikings, I sat on the couch sipping a couple of Saranac's Caramel Porters and snapped shots of the winter birds out the window. I do a pretty good job of keeping the feeders full, although the birds usually drain a full feeder in 2 days. Even faster when the squirrels get in on the action. But, I enjoyed kicking back, snapping images of the Nuthatches, Titmouses (mice?), chickadees & cardinals that flittered about the feeders. I used my Nikon D800 and 300mm Tamron lens, mounted on a tripod with my remote shutter release to capture the images in this post.
