I am not a fan of Desert Willow but I absolutely love this image with the (female Black-chinned) hummingbird in it. Great job, Eric!

Last year we had an irruption of Lawrence's Goldfinches. We usually only see a few each winter but last year we saw a ton of them. Eric took me to this location and we saw more than a few as you can see. In this image of a tree there are nineteen birds. There were many more in the rest of the tree but this made the best composition.

Purple Swamp Hen.
First encountered these characters and took these images while in Spain back in 2016.

Fantastic shot so far - always a tough act to follow. This is a Killdeer that kept photo bombing my shots of the terraces at Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park from a fall trip in 2018.

Just simply amazing work Eric! I hope I can back and capture some birds in your backyard again sometime.
