Birds. Birds. Birds.

My backyard has worked wonderful for mini-adventures, and just for creating and playing with my new lens. (70-300 f/4). Its a little slice of heaven out there, all green and crisp. I am elated to share it with the real stars of this blog post, the birds!
Birds frequent the yard, sitting peacefully, squabbling among one another and doing day to day bird activities. I have made a little study out of them with my new lens over the last few weeks...
Before I ramble, on to the birds.
A simple little finch grazing.
Unidentified, but I sure am envious of this beautiful bird.
Dropping in for a snack. One of my many, many, not so successful ploys to attract birds to photograph 

The Black Phoebe. One of my favorite birds, and also the most common in my yard. These birds are insect eaters!
Another common bird in the yard, the Emerald Hummingbird.

Not from my yard. But could not help putting this one in.
Another Black Phoebe looking thoughtful.

In the backyard after school one day, sharing time with the Black Phoebe's, and I hear a SCREECH SCREECH! I look up and have time to take two frames, this being one of them.
A Black Phoebe looking extra friendly.
Thats all for today, much more to come, please keep checking back!
God Bless.
