Very sharp and beautifully photographed, Steve! How much longer would you guess, before this Indigo Bunting is in full color?

Munificent Ed!

Terrific capture of the wood duck pair, fotoi! Great color.

My goodness, Rob...what a stunning shot!

Beautifully captured close-up of the cactus wren, Tom!

This is an incredibly nice shot, Phil. The setting is outstanding...very a appealing!

Nice photo, tradarcher! You are very fortunate to capture this rare bird.

Lovely shot, John! What a cutie.

Nice capture, Paul. These birds always seem to blend well with their surroundings.

Thanks Mike and plop their eggs on the side of a busy road.

Wow, a bird and fireworks all in one!

Beautiful!

thanks Pippan
I must confess they are very attractive birds but I hesitate to show them as they are imports.
Thankfully our natives have now mostly displaced them so they are less frequent, sparrows much more infrequent when once we'd be plagued with them

Thanks Mike. I really like that one too. It's almost like looking thru a window.

As much as I'd love to take credit, this one was Theresa's too. Lol!
