Got any bird pics?

[Bonefish Jack]

Not exactly a bird “pic” … and still interesting data on bird migration …

It's got to be challenging to build a nest using a beak that long. Must be a lot of "hover construction" involved.

I once watched an Anna's hummingbird gathering spiderwebs, cobwebby-type material, from some ivy growing alongside a trail.

We're visiting Pittsburgh right now and I saw several cardinals, which was a first for me in person. They really pop against the bare branches and new budding foliage.

We saw this guy prowling an undeveloped lot in downtown Pittsburgh today

If you double up polarized lenses I think it depolarizes, so maybe you could put some kind of polarized film over the screen and it would work
.
Edit: I also don’t know what I’m talking about

Turkey in North Richland back yard captured on security camera. It is a first. A few weeks ago I heard about some seen in Pasco. The toys are from the granddaughters visiting this week. Pink Jeep is borrowed from the neighbors. Also have a rooster pheasant in full plumage roaming the neighborhood but he is camera shy.

Beautiful picture!

I am very excited, after installing my Daughter-in-laws bird feeder camera, when I got home I installed my Christmas present, a bird feeder camera!

Put it up last night and have had several visitors this morning! A chill thing about the videos is the audio hearing each bird songs... this might become a big time waster!

I mentioned a year or so ago that I'd seen what I thought was a bluebird in our backyard. That pic was kind of poor. Here's one taken two days ago that's better.

It sorta looks like a steller's jay to me but it's a little hard to tell.

Yup, I think a Steller's; Blue birds are smaller, and don't have a crested head as your's does. Jays also tend to be quite noisy. Pretty birds though.

Got a couple of lifers today at cannon beach. Harlequin ducks and surfbirds, both in this picture but the ducks are further out and hard to see.
