Great shots Norman. Mine aren't back yet, but my Red Wing that has been coming for 4 years now is here, a few starlings and my yard boss, the robin showed up the other day. :)

Very nice Norman, you really captured their irridescence... especially in the first shot.

Ours have returned also but we've not photographed any yet this year.

good shooting,

Kenn

Thanks much Mitch, had a few red-wings show up here as well but not able to get a shot off and a few robins are here too yanking the worms out of the ground already...:)
