Birds

[jeffashman]

I've been out of it for a while. Trying to get kickstarted again, but you know these old motors... Here are some birds visiting the yard this past week. These are taken with my Sony RX10M4. It will take time for me to be able to swing my Sigma 150-600mm around again. Wow! These are displaying much larger on the updated site, not sure if that is a good thing... too close...

Fat little bugger... the wood background in the crow pics good. Australia needs cardinals & bluejays!

Sparrows are great little birds.

Love all your shots. I've had lots of the little Juncos on my feeders this winter.

The juncos are starting to show up in larger groups in my neck of the woods. (Still too small to refer to it as a flock IMO.) They are understated beauties!

The cardinals never left - they're my evening feeders, and like to come out when it's getting dark and the crowds have thinned.

Yep. It's still chilly and they are all fluffed up against the chill.

Sparrows are great little birds.

They certainly are. These are Juncos, a sparrow species from the New World.

Thanks!

Thank you! I'm hoping for a sunny day so that I can get better light on them.

The juncos are a very cute little bird. The cardinals are visiting at all times of the day, but once they get scared away, they are leery of returning.
