The Red Fox kit is obviously not a bird, but I could not resist putting this fella in the pictorial. I captured the photo last spring near an old saw mill. I have checked the area several times recently and no kits yet, but I know they will be along soon.

I am studying medicine. Went back to school last fall. BTW, I had a cholecystectomy about 15 years ago.

Yes, you may add the link to your newsletter, and thank you!
Keep checking the link-back checker monthly. It will occasionally turn something up. I run my site on a dedicated server, so I have the added benefit of being able to check my server logs, which is great on picking up on leaching.
In time, you will find people using your images. I think your images are excellent and need protected with at least a small copyright watermark. It's your decision. This subject is so touchy with me, as I can't stand a thief!

I bought my 18" grapevine wreath at Michael's, the Arts & Crafts Store. If you do not have this store, most craft stores sell the wreath. Also you will need craft wire. I can't remember the guage, but it is green in color.
I also bought some ponderosa pine - pine cones off a dealer on eBay. I like these cones because of their size. I got 60 of them for $10 including shipping.
I basically wired pine cones onto the wreath and covered each cone with a homemade chunky peanutbutter/bird seed suet mixture. I then wired the wreath to my feeding station.
I made 2 wreath/pine cone setups. When 1 needs replenished with the mixture mentioned above, I add the mixure to the spare and take down the other. Then rotate as needed.
You may add millet sprays, cherries or other fruit to the wreath. Use your imagination!

The Yellow-rumped Warbler does winter in the U.S., mainly from Maryland and points south and west.

Hotlinking can cause high bandwidth usage on your server. I usually had 3 to 4 gigs of bandwidth stolen every month because of hotlinking.

I have code imbedded into each image file, and can not be seen, which allows me to find my photos anywhere on the net. I have to pay to do this, but it's worth it.
Thanks for stopping by!
