Bird Watching: Looking in on my blue birds, 1 by 2dCousinDave

It's been a while since I have showed you pictures of "my" blue birds. I guess I worry I am overdoing it.

Well, they still visit my yard every day, even this time of year. There are five of them: the two parents and the three youngsters from the last nesting. They are there in the tree behind the house each morning, and when they see me raise the window shade, they know it's nearly time for breakfast.

I love to shoot them in action and the first feedings each morning are often feeding frenzies. Unfortunately, the early morning light is bad for photography, even with good equipment, and I am frustrated that I cannot capture what I see. Well, I still try but rarely do I get a shot I am proud to show.

By 10:00 a.m. the sun is higher and the pictures are better.

I am not sure where to start this thread, so I'll just post a few from the past several days and see where it leads us.
