Back yard birds
|
|
My daughter has feeders out, and I took a few pics this morning, through the dining room door.

Re: Back yard birds

Thanks for sharing Kurt. It may not be of Bill's caliber but always fun to see what other folks have going on at their feeders. A few of your Cardinal pics are pretty cool. Now just go out and spend thousands of dollars on glass and you'll be on your way to fame...
Pretty much looks like my mix of birds. I do have a Rufous-sided Towhee hanging around pretty regularly. I would have sworn those things migrated but I have one almost daily...

Re: Back yard birds

I could have cameras better than Bills, and never reach his level. I've never taken the time to learn all of the settings on my camera (or my phone), so I'm still impressed when I get some pics where the proper thing is in focus. 
I take 50 pics, and maybe get 12 worth keeping. 
I enjoy it though, and I plan to take more pics once the more colorful ones return.

I haven't seen any yet. I'm watching for those, and Juncos, to add a bit of color out there. I saw a pair of red birds, that I couldn't identify, but they didn't stay long enough for me to get a pic. They were almost as red as the male Cardinals, about the size of a Cowbird but thinner/sleeker.

Rabbit in the front yard. Hazy, because I took these through the screen.

I saw a doe with a tiny spotted fawn, crossing the road at the end of our driveway, but they went by too quickly for me to get a pic. Another doe was out back though, and I have the screen out of the bathroom window.

Re: Back yard birds

This Box Turtle was just cruising through the back yard. It's the biggest one I've seen in a long time, and wouldn't sit still for close-ups. It just wanted to get away. I had a longer lens on, and couldn't focus on anything that close when I was holding it.

Re: Back yard birds

It seems that there's fewer different types of birds this year. There's usually enough variety that I can't even get pics of all the different ones, but this year it seems to be the same birds every day.
Daily;
Mourning Doves
Cardinals
Tufted Titmice
Indigo Buntings
Those Blue Grosbeaks IDd earlier
Randomly;
Cowbirds
Red Winged Blackbirds
Chickadees
Nuthatches
Woodpeckers
I haven't even seen any Wrens, Bluebirds, or Sparrows

I don't know what kind of bird this is; it's smaller/thinner than an English Sparrow, and it hovers over the grass before dropping in on something.
Also, babies!
