Wow, these are beautiful captures. I just got my very first bird feeder and had goldfinches as my first visitors. I was so excited - my photos - not so good. I love the way you captured these! I'm really oping to see a red wind blackbird.
...the iridescence of the male grackle is definitely a winner. What a great image. My photos of grackles always show mostly black, hardly any color. You did GREAT.
Wonderful shots Karen. What a great selection of birds to have on your feeders. I love the way you captured the irirdescence of the mean looking Grackle.
Please feel free to leave a comment, and hey, why not follow my blog too. I can't respond to every comment, but I will return the favour and visit your blog. I have turned off word verification, but it randomly shows up, that's a BLOGGER glitch.

Very sweet birds. I wish I could see them around here.
ReplyDeleteHow cooperative of all your birds to stop by your "studio" and pose for a photos! :-) Such a great variety of common and uncommon birds.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great shot of the grackle with it's luminous plumage! In fact, great shots, all of them.
ReplyDeleteFor all the colours of the other birds, I do like that grackle.
ReplyDeleteI think the cormorants were cooperating, but the egrets may have just be cashing in!
