    He thought he was hiding

    It's funny because I don't have as much luck as my husband catching new birds coming in our garden, but I did see this one fly in. So I readied my camera to try and get a shot when my husband asked what I'd seen. My answer was "probably only a titmouse", but I continued looking. He...

    Color me blue

    Didn't have time to get out of the truck yesterday to get into a better position, because there was another male sitting on a tree 15' away and I knew he's going after him, which he did, but not until I got a few shots of him.
  17. Good Morning

    Good Morning

    Was greeted by this Grosbeak as I went to my new house to check on things this morning. Also seen Purple Martins moving into the Martinhouse I put up a couple of months ago. By the way, this tree has Bluebirds nesting in the Birdhouse. can't wait for the young one later this spring.

    This one is a bit disapointing. Had to crop far too much, noise and pixilation evidnet. But, I could'nt resist the pose the bird presented.

    Another target bird for this summber. These are migratory, and prefere riparian to open woody farmlands. This bird was taken at the Kern Valley Wildlife Refuge. Used a recorded call to pull it in. Not the best shot I could get; these birds won't pose long and love shadows.
