Happy New Year from Two Shutterbirds!

Ring out the false, ring in the true. –Alfred Lord Tennyson

Ruby-crowned Kinglet in Snowy Thicket, Cave Creek Canyon, Arizona
Ruby-crowned Kinglet in Snowy Thicket, Cave Creek Canyon, Arizona. Several recent snow storms turned southeast Arizona into a spectacular landscape of snowy desert, mountain, and forest. We took several opportunities to chase birds around in the white–a real treat for Houstonians! Canon EOS 7DII/600mm f/4L IS (+1.4x TC). Natural light.

As we put 2018 in the rear-view mirror, we wish all our friends and readers the happiest new year! Here’s to a 2019 that is quite unlike 2018! Cheers!
