Fall through the winter we have up to 7 partridge in our birch trees on my front lawn. They eat the seeds from the branches. It is sort of cool really.

I came over to look and see if you gave us a pix! Thanks for doing so! I didn't know that's what a partridge looks like, I would've said it was a ruffled grouse....

Well, I always thought that it was a single partridge in a pear tree, not seven partridge in a birch tree, but since I've never seen a picture of a partridge in my life, I guess I'll have to take what I can get. Once again, you've amazed me with your photographic eye. I am starting to wonder if it is possible for you to take a picture that isn't something that is really special. I love seeing your pictures and hope that you will share more of them.
