Wild bird roll call

As we sat iced in and watched the birds eat seeds, I took pictures. I managed to get shots of most of the menagerie. The iNaturalist app helped me with identification.

I did not get photos of the titmouse, or the blue jay, or the crows. The jays and crows kept their distance, but the titmouse were all over the feeder, so there wasn’t really a reason they did not make the roll.

Snow in Stereo

I did stop to take a pair of pictures of foot steps in the snow while I was out checking on the chickens (they are fine, cold, but fine). These are the stereoscopic photos, in parallel view and cross view (which I still can’t see).

These don’t have the depth I’ve achieved in other photos. The vast stretch of white probably doesn’t help. The photo really gets interesting in the top third. Hm.
