It was a bit cool at 38, but the sun was gloriously shining after a few days of hiding.
So, as I was making breakfast, I took a few pictures of the birds that were dining at my feeders. With my new Sigma 18-250 all purpose walk around lens, of course.
Shot at about 8:30 AM using f/6.3 at ISO 400… hope you think the lens is as good as I do.
