Birding and Bird Photography

Thanks! It was tough getting close to the ibis. They didn't stick around when I first approached so I had to walk about a walk to the other end of the marsh to photograph them. Got pretty close for the shots, which considering I have my dog with me, worked out pretty good. I always bring the dog, which spooks most birds.

I'll Join in here with a couple of hummer shots from last summer. This years flock have not yet arrived.

 

Spent the weekend in AZ and got to get some fun bird shots in the mornings.

 

These guys started showing up around here the last couple of years.

Anna's Hummingbird hangs out with us all winter. The Rufous have just started showing up in the last two weeks. They are sharing the feeder this year. Last year one male Anna would fight off all commers! Looks like we'll have a flicker family this spring.



I've heard white throated sparrows all winter. First time seeing one just before they head up to BC for the summer.

@Cooldood those are some great shots!

 

Don't often see a redtail with a snake getting harassed by a coopers hawk. Pretty cool.
