The Pear trees have been in full bloom for the last week but it was rainy over the weekend so I couldn't get outside and get a few shots.
The sun came out Monday and fortunately was able to get a few images in before the all the blooms fell off.
Thanks for looking.

Wonderful, Brad! That Mockingbird is especially nice in framing and pose.

Brad,

The blossoms make a nice setting for those birds. Make a very good bird photo even better.

Ooh, these are so very lovely!! These blossoms make a great setting for birds. Good thinking, Brad. The house sparrow and the mockingbird are my favourites, but what a great set!

Excellent series of images with great settings. #1 is a clear winner here for me. Well done.

Thanks Eric, I almost overlooked the Mockingbird but decided to add it to the list.

Thanks a lot George, I always look forward to the pear trees blooms so I can try to get some photos.

Thanks a lot Harvey, I was hoping the Bluebird would turn out okay.

That is a wonderful series Brad with both avian and botanical beauty.
Although I think the Waxwing is the most handsome bird you've shown, the Mockingbird, the Yellow-rumped, and the female House Finch are framed the best with the surrounding blossoms. Very pretty!
My pear, apple, and cherry trees are a little behind yours so I'm in waiting mode to attempt some very similar captures.

You made very interesting photos with all the blooms.
I like the waxwing the best as its a rare bird to me and colorful. The bluebird
Is also beautiful.
Is that waxwing a cedar or Bohemian?

A terrific set of images... I marvel at the variety of birds you captured in the blossoms... they all are beautiful Brad, but I think the first Bluebird image is my favorite... fine shooting.
