This year I was lucky enough to spend three weeks back home in Illinois for the holidays. In between doing things together with my family, I went into the woods to spend time with the local birds. After figuring out where they like to hang out, I offered up a bit of seed and suet and went back to visit them many times. Winter didn’t really hit until my last week there, but I fully enjoyed the one snow day that I had. Here are a handful of images I made during my time there. Thanks for visiting!
Gear used: Nikon D5, D850, 500mm 5.6E PF, 600mm f4E FL
