Nice
I had some visitors in my backyard yesterday morning as well.

4 of these showed up yesterday. They're been flying in and out of the birdhouses that are scattered throughout my property. I think they might be breeding?

put some peanuts outside, and they are there!

couple more. i thought the Finch shot was a bit comical:

and a Flicker:

both shots take with my f/5.6 400mm with Canon's 1.4x III Extender

saw this soggy little ball of "fur" today. the sex of this species is distinguished by the eyes! cool!

i don't know about this one, however he's a tricky bastard to capture!

also, this is an "Oregon" Dark-eyed Junco(male). super active birds:

a Pine Siskin:

I think... it's a male House Finch.

oh i know, i meant wasn't sure quality wise. the pose makes it somewhat interesting though.

i will use it til i get a better one. there's a pair in my backyard, i catch glimpses of them all the time(the female is blah! )

i saw a new Flicker today, this time a male. very cool birds!

Sweet snaps there NVM! You have a nice setup in your backyard! I like the pic's that you post without the feeders in the pictures the best! Thanks for posting! I wish i lived outside of the city some more so i could set something like this up in my backyard! You must have a decent backyard! Where about's do you live that you can setup feeders and get some decent action?

i'm way up in North Van, huge yard. with the weather being shit and my knee issue, my backyard is merely a diversion until i'm back out there in the wild. couple weeks to go i figure. thanks for the comments, guys.

Argh, can't get to work. Will post stuff later.

another Pine Siskin. i'll be glad when they go. all they do is eat eat eat!

just added my 10th feeder!

odd, but not many sparrows around.

i saw this guy today, but didn't do too much better than the first time i saw him. i do however, know the sound they make now.

i saw the male a while ago, and the female Downy finally showed up. not the best pic, but i had to be fast!
