Got the opportunity to sit in a lawn chair in a friends back yard and photograph these birds, several that I had not seen previously.
Hope you enjoy.

Excellent shots, Madman. I see you included the house sparrow. We have a lot of them here in the Houston area(and in Texas).

Thank you Canondave1. Glad to have you look in and comment. I guess that, in keeping with my title, I should have excluded the house sparrows - but what the heck they were there and posed nicely! And at some point they did migrate - all the way from Europe.

What a fantastic set, Larry, and all except the two house sparrows would have been a first for me! Thanks for posting!

This was the case for me as well. I've seen Northern Parulas and some of the others before on our nature walks, but never got acceptable photos before. This yard was surrounded by trees native to Australia - don't recall their name - that produce a nectar that attracts these birds.
It is my pleasure to share.
