Looks like they are year-round in your area....but then they probably wouldn't be seen much in highly populated areas....

Thanks everyone!
I was so shocked that my heart was in my throat and I was too scared to call out to hubby to come and see. Also couldn't breath for hours afterwards! *LOL*

Laura that is also my favourite. *S*

Ron if I had used one of my Minoltas (which aren't made any more), you wouldn't have known. *LOL*

Cheers,
Kathy

Speaking of Minoltas Kathy, I got my dads old kit last week hoping that the glass could be used on a Sony dSLR. I am told NO on the photo forum. Tis a damn shame that Minolta/Sony changed the mounts & made the lenses obsolete.

Nice capture Kathy! Unusual to see one sitting on your front steps for sure!

Ron if I'm not mistaken, it was Konica that bought Minolta out, not Sony.

Yes & no. Minolta & Konica merged & then were in turn taken over by Sony. Later Minolta glass will fit on Sony dSLR's but it seems not what is in dad's kit.

I will take the kit to Henry's & see what they have to say. I would not mind having to focus manually if there is an adapter available.
