Post blizzard and pre brutally cold temperatures I made it out to the lakefront with my repaired camera to capture some bird images. Looking forward to getting back into my new found hobby that I started last May and put on hold while my camera was on the fritz. Not at that point yet where I want to just go out with some binoculars. I like the challenge of trying to get a good photo.
First up the paddlers, waders and shore birds.

Below, a few of our common neighborhood tree birds.
A stout Cardinal. 
It’s not winter without a cardinal in the snow sighting.
A few other pics from the area including some hardy souls sledding on Cricket Hill.
