The whole idea is to get pictures of these gorgeous Apple trees I know of, the bloom is at full height. Well they were beautiful last year, this year they're not putting out blooms. Well when you're given lemons, make lemon aid.

A Blue bird and his girl friend:

All in all, a beautiful evening and, well, that bird obsession thing.

Blue Birds shown in nice habitat, composition is good, as well as exposure & sharpness.
Chipping Sparrow's a little hot, and would be tempted to crop a little closer. But what do I know?

Very nice. I didn't even notice the other bird in the tree behind the male bluebird until you mentioned it and I took a second look. :)

Very nice captures WWW, the female bluebird is very subtile. I like the chipping sparrow as well.

Love the first image of the bluebird. Excellent quality, I too probably wouldn't have noticed the other bird in the background until it was mentioned.
The second shot is well captured.

Thanks for all the nice comments. I too think the Blue birds are the better of the two. I'll have to rework the Chipping Sparrows, the whites are a tad hot. I guess that's the best part of shooting RAW, we get the negative. It's nice to be a the start of the season, I find I carry my whole bag of goodies now that it's warmer than just the camera and one lens. Will probably start carrying the Rebel as well for a second body. Funny, I never did put it up for sale on EBay....
