We all know the excitement of adding new species to our photo "life lists" and I have been able to add 3 in the last week or so. If you include gender differences the count goes to 4!
Some of these may surprise you as I have had a devil of a time w/some of the more common birds in my area. These are somewhat hurriedly edited due to time constraints, but I think quite worthy of posting.
I hope you enjoy a little Friday morning variety....
American Robin - who has played tough to get and is teasing my here.....
1.
.....and finally gave me the clearest shot I've had so far, albeit against a tough sky background.
2.
Eastern Phoebe - very excited to nab this one even sitting on the hummingbird feeder arm.
3.
Eastern Towhee (female) - I hear these all over, but it's tough to get them out of the bushes.
4.
5.
Dark-eyed Junco (female) - this is the gender addition since I have already brought you the male DEJ.
6.
Her friend sitting in a nearby tree.
7.
And an update on a recent first - the female Yellow-bellied Sapsucker has returned after a cold snap, but is proving to be quite coy w/me as you can see.

I'm glad to have the opportunity to add these to my list and to bring them to you as well. I hope you've found the variety enjoyable and feel free to comment as much as you want! Thanks for looking in on me......
