Tired of them yet?

As a child my Ma (Grandmother) would sit me down with a book of Goulds prints of the native birds of Australia, and since she was English born, a book of birds of England as well, a field guide of some sorts. Later at school found an Audubon (sp?) book as well. I would look for hours. I ended up at Uni doing Biology and Chemistry, and would often be found in the bird santuary near the school. My Pa had an aviary and kept tropical birds, I shared my brekky with them often. No Kim, not tired of them one bit ! *R*

That's good, Roger, because they are still around and I'm still taking pictures of them. Some of the shots are duplicates, but every once in awhile, I get a "new" one. I enjoy bird photography a lot.

Thanks, Michael.

No ... they are so beautiful.

Thanks, Bente - they have become my favorite bird to photograph now (although if the cardinals come back again, they will be a close second).

Another greenjay. Comments?

How are you? Another absolutely great bird shot. This one has something special. All My Best, Howard Dion PS Never get tired of your bird shots.

very sharp. nice work!

Thanks, Howard and David. I'm not tired of shooting bird pictures, so I'm sure you'll see more sooner or later. I have a bunch I haven't posted yet, too. Thanks for visiting and taking the time to comment.

This is a really handsome pose and nice capture Kim, great work! I've seen a lot of different jay species, but still haven't seen a Green Jay. Will have to travel to Texas sometime. Cheers, -- Greg --

Greg, they are a very beautiful bird, but they sure do make an awful noise when they call each other! Last fall and this spring was the first opportunity I had to see them up close and take pictures. They are a very large bird and hog the feeders so you don't get any other birds when these ones are here.

Beautiful.

Thanks, Allan. I liked the simple background on this one.
