Some Boids.

Just a few birds taken recently.

Here is a Steller's Jay - sometimes I feel like we're overrun with them, but they have their moments.

Those Cliff Swllows are quite the engineers, aren't they. Nice captures all around.

Excellent shots! I love the first and last ones...

That first one is amazing! All great shots.. took me a sec to realize the last few were not upside down lol (A Blonde moment)

Love the first one. Nice shots, all of them.

I like the first two shots. The turkey is really sharp. . . good work!

The first one is outstanding! I really like it.
Glad those swallows are not at my house. I used to get alot of them--camped under the eves of the barn I lived in.

Very nice captures, all. The Stellars can be quite the comedians around a hanging bird feeder. They are loud and persistent but fun to watch.

Nice pics.

Great shot of a Steller's Jay.

Thanks for looking Skip. Yeah, I'm often amazed at what some of the more industrious birds will do to build nests.

Thanks Vette. Glad you enjoyed them.

Thanks Sandi. It's really all about light, isn't it? The light was great for the first shot, and really quite bad for the rest of them. Pretty much directly overhead and dappled for the turkey, and just plain lousy for the swallows. Oh well

Thanks Richard. And thanks for looking.

Thanks John. I used a little trick for the turkey. Even though it was in my neighbor's yard, I got in my little hybrid car and drove up almost next to her. With the engine shut down, I used the window as a secondary camera rest. The car acts as a blind since the turkey would have been much more wary of a human form. She was pretty much ignoring the car.
