Fun With Birds #1......


......I love watching birds and I have a lot of them to watch. So far this year, more different kinds than usual.......






I always see cardinals every day. And, poor little Justin! His head seems to be a popular place for several creatures to rest on.















I have managed to get a few fairly good hummingbird pictures this spring.



It takes a lot of waiting, watching and patience.



I am envious of those people I see in pictures with these little creatures eating right out of their hands. This is about the best I can do.







Recently this woodpecker has been flying in and out a lot.  A couple of almost silhouette shots is all I have been able to get.



They seem like nervous birds, darting about in a hurry, using almost intimidating actions.



There has been a lot of activity in and about the birdbaths.



It is pretty common to see titmouse birds splashing or drinking.






This day it was a female cardinal



A rare sighting in my yard - a finch.

In part two I will show some rather unusual backyard birds. Interesting!

    1. My squirrel and turkey pictures are really like that and that is exactly what is happening. Some will be shown in part two.

  2. Love watching birds! I FINALLY took some good hummingbird pictures also last summer. I think my husband thought I was nuts sitting out in the garden for hours at a time! But it was worth it. I think the challenge of getting the right shot is half the fun. I love your pictures!

    1. Having a faithful follower like you appreciate and enjoy my pictures makes all that sitting or standing in place for so long that I can hardly move again well worth the effort! Thank you.
