Some afternoon birds

[clutchkiller]

Just some birds from this afternoon.

A female house finch

A snow bunting. This is the sharpest image out of seven (the others were way OOF)

A male purple finch (they look a lot like a male house finch)

A male dark-eyed junco

Close-up of a ring-billed gull

Thank you for looking.

Very nice pics clutch. Is that snow bunting levitating?

 

[clutchkiller]

LOL, thanks Mike.

Snow buntings are 'ground' birds, they do not perch up in tree's. This one was sitting on a wood beam and I was hoping to get a flight shot... the bird went in the wrong direction.

Cool shots Paul..got any bird shots?...LOL...Keep them coming! That Gull shot is awesome.

Thanks Hideandwatch... I've got more than just birds, lol. These didn't turn out as well as I had hoped, so I haven't posted them until now. I can't wait until we get some good light!

 

[Hideandwatch]

more great shots...where do you find the time?

 

[clutchkiller]

Thanks again H&W, it really doesn't take any time at all. Most of the birds are in my backyard... open a window, or go out on the deck and they're there. The rabbit hangs out in the backyard also. Everything else is 5 or 10 minutes away, and I take my camera with me everywhere I go... you never know what you might see.
