I took a lot of bird photos over the last week and didn’t know what to do with them so I thought I’d have a bird beauty contest.<\/p>\n

My favorite for this week was this Cedar Waxwing so I’m giving it first place.<\/p>\n

I thought these baby Canada Geese were kind of cute. They remind me of those little marshmallow chicks that kids used to get in Easter Baskets.<\/p>\n

Okay, so beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I will say that Black Vultures have lots of personality and they save us town tax money by cleaning up the road kill!What’s your pick for the winner of the birdie beauty contest?<\/p>\n
