These are really outstanding Duane. The second Jay shot is funny, that's one happy bird.

These are amazing. You just took these in your backyard right? The Robin has blood in its feathers, so I think that something is wrong with it. I love the second one. I have never seen a bird look like that before!

Beautiful shots, Duane. What kind of bird is that in #4?


All I want is just a little more than I'll ever have.

There will be days when you get the shot(s) you missed days, months or years before.

Phil...it's a Brown Thrasher. They like to forage in wooded areas turning up leaves looking for bugs and worms. They also eat fruit and of course shelled peanuts. They are related to the Northern Mockingbird and like to sing.

Love them all Duane, but that Bluejay is so funny, as is the Cardinal doing the Hokey Pokey! I wondered what that Robin had been eating, and now I know!
