Excellent set of images Kenn. Your backyard could be a bird photographer's destination. I really like your set up, great perches and backgrounds to compliment your friends.

Great work Kenn.

Those of us with backyard bird gardens are legion... the birds are such a joy. We are definitely proponents for backyard birding. :)

Best luck, and good shooting all.

Superb series Kenn. Not only are your subjects and IQ very special, but that perch! What a beauty. It only compliments the rest of your compositions.
