Remember when I was whining a couple of months ago about
the lack of birds in our back yard?
Fortunately, things have changed lately...
 |
| American Robin |
 |
| Cedar Waxwing |
 |
| Northern Mockingbird |
 |
| Blue Jay |
 |
| Chipping Sparrows |
 |
| Pileated Woodpecker (sooner or later, I'll get a better shot of this one) |
 |
| Red-bellied Woodpecker |
 |
| Another Red-bellied Woodpecker...see him peeping from the hole? |
 |
| Yellow-shafted Northern Flickers (there are 3 in this photo) |
 |
| Female Northern Flicker |
 |
| Yellow-bellied Sapsucker |
 |
| Yellow-bellied Sapsucker again |
Because my back yard is so shady, I need to practice shooting
in lower lighting conditions. It would also be great to have
the 400 mm lens I've been dreaming of for those close ups ;)
You had a lovely variety. Great photos!
ReplyDeleteperhaps the birds heard you were shinning and decided to get you a treat and this post certainly showed that. Great variety of birds now in your garden and lovely shots of them
ReplyDeleteWow, awesome variety of backyard birds. I love the Sapsucker and woodies.. The Flickers are cool birds too. Great shots, have a happy Thursday!
ReplyDeletePretty birdies :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice shots! I especially like your picture of the Cedar Wax Wing.
ReplyDeleteOnce the birds have found you they will become "regulars." :)

ReplyDeleteYes, you had some great visitors! I love the tree with the berries...it makes a nice place for them to pose! You had quite a variety of woodpeckers too!
ReplyDeleteo, you have a beautiful waxwing. I have only seen them once thi season and it was a rainy day annd they were in a tree top. Would not know it was them if they did not hear them. I love their sound.
