common birds but nice photos...

Just some more old photos of some pretty common birds but I think they are pretty decent photos. Depends on why you look at a topic....is it to see a pretty bird or to see a decent photo. Frankly, I do both but really enjoy a nice sharp crisp photo even if it is a subject that is pretty common. I'm not saying these are perfect by any measure but I think they do make the common subject pleasant to look at. You be the judge.

Everyone outstanding!! great job I would not call these common at all.

Uncommonly Good!

Great, sharp shots

Fantastic series! All images are excellent!

What is common for you, may not be common for others...so share them all! I especially like the Mallard...she jumps right off the screen!

Mike, this is the perfect holiday to share these with us.
Thanksgiving is a time when we pause and realize the uncommon beauty of our common world.
Wondrous captures.

These birds aren't common in my area and the pictures look fantastic! I really love the one with the snow on the ground and the one with snowflakes in the air. Excellent work!
