Ha, had an exciting afternoon of bird watching at the house.

#1. Happened about 50 yds away from me - I didn't cause it. Had a "ring-side" seat and saw the whole thing happen. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but scared my birds off, though. A pickup had slowed to a stop to turn onto my street. I reckon the driver of the overturned car was daydreaming (or texting), looked up and got the shock of his life. He served this way and that to avoid rear-ending the pickup, and then his car SLOWLY rolled over and came to a stop as you see it. The pickup turned onto my street and drove on - I don't think he ever saw what was developing behind him - of course, it wasn't his fault, anyway.

These four picks were snapped just before the above event.

#2 - This crow was way up in a tree. I heard it and finally spotted the rascal - it must have been hot, breathing through its beak like that.

#3. It flew around for a while, beak still open.

#4. I have some pretty yellow gold finches hanging around.

#5. Saw this Titmouse visiting the feeder several times and after each visit, it would go back up to a limb to eat.
