I changed GAST "Mulberry" to "Cranberry" as I found the original color far too orange/brown for my tastes. 

My email server did an update recently and I lost a couple of day's worth of emails.  I think someone asked about my camera - it's a Canon SX540HS.  It has a very powerful zoom lens - you can Google it if you want more information.

Generally I'm pretty pleased with the shots it allows me to take of birds - like this young Cowbird.

Here's a young Junco.

It was attempting to eat the leaf from a sedum.

I had a large group of little Bushtits come to the suet.

They chattered and flitted and ate.

They always lift my spirits.
