Beautiful pics Tony.....snowy owl is my favorite owl.

Comment by Idaho Spud on January 16, 2013 at 12:51pm

My internet service provider didn't post one of my comments, so I'll repeat it:

I like the drinking parrot.  Made me smile.

I'l also say I like the owl pictures, as well as most of the bird pictures.  

The colorful gang of birds on the ground are cool as well.

booklover, thanks for the Betty Botter comment.
