We are regularly visited by a group of seven male turkeys, who come to the yard to eat seeds we put out for the birds. For twenty years we had never seen a turkey in our yard and for the last five years or so we’ve had as many as 27 visit at once. They have become acoustomed to us bringing birdseed out for them, and often walk as close as 8-10 feet from us without getting nervous.
This winter has been colder than most, and one side effect is frost growing on the windows. The crustal structures grow on very cold glass where moist air leaks in between the two panes of glass. The rounded ice structures are made from thawing and freezing cycles. These are water drops frozen in place. These were taken with a Canon 100mm macro lens, handheld.
A few inches of snow fell on 11 January 2009. I photograhed a few birds not shown in the last post, and also made a better image of the Carolina Wren.
