A Few of Your Basic Backyard Birds

[ckcarr]

A few I've collected. You shoot even one a month and they start adding up! They're the things you see and think, I should get my camera.

Sweet set Craig - there are a few I didn't know were in your area before now. I love the little hummingbirds.

Nice set Craig, I see you have a cedar waxwing and some berries, which they love to eat until they get drunk on them.

Super series! I particularly like #2, #3 and #5.

Hey Craig, what a nice selection of birds here. They sure do seem to add up over time.

Alan, the only one not from here is the black one, the Phainopepla, which was in my friends backyard down in Phoenix. I hear even those are somewhat rare sightings.

Yes, about three days a year I get invaded by flocks of the Cedar Waxwings. Most people don't pay any attention and think they are just another bird.

I can see why genuine birders can get very excited, there are so many species and sub species out there.

Nice set here Craig! I really like third for it's simple beauty and the seventh for the nice contrast in texture between the bird's feathers and thorny thistle looking plant it's perched upon!
