I decided to join in on this weeks
Bird Photography Weekly (#40) since I have a few bird shots that I’ve been wanting to share with you!
The beauty above is a Hermit Thrush – new to my yard and it took me a little while to identify her. I used my Bird Songs: 250 North American Birds in Song book
(and confirmed with Taba), and was just giddy to have a new visitor to my yard!
This male Red Winged Blackbird joined us over dinner by the river last weekend, he and his spouse were enjoying the tortilla chips I broke up and tossed their way.
The female Red Winged Blackbird came much closer than the male, such a pretty little girl. I’m glad I tucked my (big honkin’) camera in my purse before we left the house! There are always neat creatures hanging out down by the Mississippi River.
I hope you enjoyed my birds this week – we’ll see what photo ops present themselves for next week!

great bird shots!
the other day DD & I were waiting for our friends outside a Panda Express and the sparrows came right up to us hoping for a handout. One landed about a foot from me. I guess they were too used to the humans.
Wow..wow..wow !
Some really nice pics…I just LOVE them.
These birds are so beautiful !
Oh, and for some reason little bird legs always crack me up.
Thanks for sharing, Leanne.
They are all so cute. I love the little red patch on the wing…the cheeky female…the new visitor. Awesome!
Great photos as always! I’m working on identifying the birds that hang out around my home. A friend gave me a great little book about WI birds that has been quite helpful. That bird songs book looks great though! I’d love to know whose voices I’m hearing when I open the door in the morning!
ooooooooooo although i’ve already seen them they still made me say oooooooooooooooooo. :clapping:
Great photos thanks for sharing. I looked around on the site a bit but didn’t see what type of camera you used. I am thinking of getting a new camera.
Hi John – welcome, and thanks!
I use a Panasonic Lumix FZ50 – you can see it – and more photos I’ve taken with my Panny’s here: http://intricateart.com/browse/portfolio/photography/
