Welcome to my Nature Photo Journal, images of nature encountered in day to day life.  

We got our first snow of the winter yesterday, it started snowing about 11 AM and snowed most of the day and into the night before it turned into a light rain.

This morning the birds were out hunting for seed to fight the cold.

Oregon form of Dark-eyed Junco

   

This tiny bird is a year round resident here in NW Oregon but it is rare that I get a good quality shot of this fast moving little critter. The fact that it prefers to live in coniferous forests where the lighting is dim is always a disadvantage to capturing a good image.
