Hope everybody had a nice July 4th weekend. To keep in theme with the title, here are several pictures of some regular visitors from our backyard.

This past weekend our resident Bluebird chicks decided to come back to the yard for the first time since fledging. :D Thanks for taking the time to look.

Thanks Mitch... I can't speak for the other birds but the Bluebirds get ragged looking in the summer after working raising their young. They're much prettier in early spring.

Thanks Steve...They are pretty. This finch brings his mate several times a day to get a drink.

Nice detailed shots... the light and tone in the finch and MB are very nice and I love Bluebirds which I never see here.
