Some of my favorite photographic subjects are birds--backyard birds, water fowl and more exotic birds, at the feeders or in flight. I'm looking forward to sharing some of my pictures of these wonderful creatures and am really looking forward to seeing all of your great bird pics.
To start with some backyard visitors to my Santa Fe house:

Some of my bird friends like to come to my yard for social functions.
#1 is hilarious. We have them come through here too but have never seen them with a deer.

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....

Just around our house. All the birds are wild and we do not feed them.
Love love love the color in the parrot or whatever it is. Just beautiful, Richard

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.
p3, some really good ones, Roxie. Aren't Blue Birds sweet?! The painted buntings are so unusual. Glad you "caught" them

Birds are a relatively new subject matter for me that I hope to improve on capturing! Here are my meager attempts from this past year. Thanks for hosting!

Pg. 3 - What a nice variety of our fine feathered friends, Roxie.
I don't think I've ever seen a Woodstork before, so thanks for sharing.
