Bird nest intervalometer shots

[Peeb]

Set the camera on a tripod and told the intervalometer to shoot a pic every 5 minutes. Three hours later, here were my four favorites. I especially liked the one on the top right (fending off intruders). Help identifying this sparrow-sized bird in Northeast Oklahoma (Osage County)?

Very cool.

I'd have never thought to do that.

Very cool.

I'd have never thought to do that.

It helps when your porch is on a balcony so that your gear is fairly secure while you're gone!

Cool stuff. I'd also set the timer to shoot some frames around 8:00 to 10:00 PM, as the birds settle in to watch their evening prime-time TV shows. Maybe need flash then? Not sure, really.

Great Idea, Some great candid shots. I've got a dove's nest in my backyard, but she's placed it to where I can't get a shot without disturbing the nest. Would have loved to try something like this.

I am not familiar with American species but you can look at these BIRDS
It´s the best to look at pictures and when you see a similar kind then listen to its call.

Very cool series.
