Here are a few assorted of mine........some from my yard. The Painted Buntings were a treat! I sat outside for days to get the two photos, because they are not something I see every day. I've never seen them again here. I think they migrate through here. The Bluebirds were nesting in my backyard.

They seem to like it. The turkeys like whatever they're finding in my lawn and the deer like my shrubs. We enjoy having them drop by.
One day I watched an encounter in my front yard between a large group of turkeys (26 of them with their babies) and a coyote. The coyote looked really hungry and kept eying the babies.

Great start, and thanks for hosting this challenge, Kat. I know with all the
"birders" on UHH, you may be in for a record number of responses. I, too,
am looking forward to what everyone shares.

I've only every tried "BIF" images once, as witnessed below. Mediocre
success at best, but it was fun.

Unfortunately, all the other images I have of birds are of those in
captivity....

The composition and action of the two geese in the last shot is great - I like it a lot!

A few shots from the Outer Banks area of North Carolina, Pea Island and the Alligator River Wildlife Refuse. Spectacular place for birding! Taken Jan. 6th and 7th.
