This week’s photo challenge suggests we look back on images of 2017 – of course it IS coming up on New Year’s Eve, and that’s what we do, right?  As I looked back, I realized just how many birds were “shot” this year…  so rather than picking a favorite, I’m sharing a wide selection of our feathered friends!

This was posted in response to the Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge – “2017 Favorites”.  Click here for more responses!
