"Early Morning Snack"

My early morning visitor wanting her snack for the morning, she comes back several times a day. The male comes also but normally a little later in the morning.

Just loved the way the snow looked blue in the early morning light. Now if you view in Full you can see her tongue and also a morsel in her beak. Plus it was lightly snowing and you can see snow on her tail feathers & along her body.

Used Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 to bring out more detail and then used iPiccy.com to make it smaller to upload.

Thank You for your Comments in Advance which I deeply appreciate.

Have A Great Day, ♥ Skates

She's a real beauty Pat - love the way she is hanging from the feeder - the background is outstanding and I love the snow on her tail - looks like she's about to finish the remainder of the suet by herself - Excellent Capture!!!!!

Great 'action shot' of this woodpecker, Pat. At full screen size the details, as described in your narrative, can be clearly seen.
Perfectly done, my friend!
