Early Morning Visitors

I took a few photos before going to work this morning.

Mourning Doves...

I know it's a Grackle...but they are still pretty too!

Getting enough light can be challenging, but I gave it a try today.

Thank you Carol. I'm glad I had a few cooperative subjects!

I missed one from yesterday's photo shoot...a Hairy Woodpecker.

Very nice Sandy, your yard must be like mine, the sun lighting up the background and all your pretty perches in the shade. Turned out to be a real nice set, I like the first Grackle, a particularly mean look on that one!

Thanks Bret. I'm rather fond of that first Grackle shot too, he has character. As for the perches, I planned ahead the night before and moved my "perch bench" into an area that I thought would be early morning sunshine...I missed by a little bit! Oh well, I'm still happy with the result...improving every day, I hope!
