Sweet gums in winter

Something to do in January

It's a quiet January, welcome but also unwelcome at this time of my life. If I, alas, have nothing to do, I can thankfully go out for a walk most days, and I carry along my camera with the good zoom. The winter birds have been out singing, but they are smart little creatures, fleeing the branches when I stop for a look. I think I identified some of as kinglets. New to me. Also mockingbirds, house finches, blue jays, and mourning doves that seem to be the most relaxed and easier to get pictures of. The sky was really blue!
