Thank you everyone for joinging me in my challenge over these next few days. I thought we hadn't done a bird challenge for a while and no matter where in the U.S or world you live you will always see birds.

Some can be comical to watch while others will be so still and blend in with their surroundings you bearly even know they are there.

So lets see some of the birds where you live.

A Turkey is fitting for this time of the year.

One of my favorite birds is the Meadowlark

This owl blended in so well in a tall cottonwood tree I almost didn't see her.

I especially like #2.

Rufe Loc: Missouri

Five from Missouri. They are all alive. All except the last are not what they seem. All of them were very interested in what I was doing.

Hi Lorima, they are not the handsomest bird out there but, they sure do taste good. #2 is an awesome capture, very well done.

Richard, the symmetry of the two birds in tandem is awesome, what a great catch.

This is the time of year when flocks of Robins can be found foraging on the lush berries of Mountain Ash trees.

Although I'm rather intimidated by the fantastic shots shown so far, here are a few taken last winter through the window of some of our local Ohio birds.

Revet Loc: Fairview Park, Ohio

I shot I got during the summer months of a seagull at Lake Erie. Never posted it anywhere so I thought this would be a good place. I love the expressive look on his/her face.
