The past week has been busy with family issues so no time for photography. My brother was seriously injured in a high fall and was hospitalized for four days. The surgeon said he was lucky to be alive. Recovery will be a long time coming.
My sister-in-law was moved to a hospice on Monday also so I have been trying to spend time with my nephew.With both of his parents in bad shape, he is having a hard go of it. It is way more than a nine year old child should be having to deal with.
The last two days have been spent preparing for the winter storm. Snow started a little after 11:00 and quickly has covered the ground. I can deal with the snow but it is the high potential for freezing rain that worries me. I just really hate the thought of losing power. I spent the morning checking out the generator and hopefully making sure I am set if the power goes out.
My new lens (Tamron 150-600) came in late yesterday and I am anxious to give it a go. I don't think a fair analysis of it can be made given the current weather conditions and gray sky. I have always used Canon lenses so not sure how the 3rd party brand will stack up.

So sorry about your family problems, Paula. I wondered why you hadn't posted.
Photo's are great! Are they with the new lens? What's the bird? I think a female towhee by looking at my Merlin Bird app. I've never seen one around here though.
Stay safe in the storm. Looks bad up your way.
Thanks, it was definitely a hard week. Yeah, they were taken with the new lens however having to use an ISO of 1600 and 2000 to get even a shutter speed of 160 or 200, I don't think it is a fair indicator of what the lens is capable of. Looking forward to some sunshine to go out and give it a good go. I think I will like it though. Yes, It is a female Towhee. I have lots of them (male and female)here at the house. Can you say ready for spring?!!!!
