Non-birding bird shots

The work of the UHH birders has convinced me to take the long lens out and I have been encouraged by the birds shots that resulted. Unfortunately, I now notice birds everywhere, even when the dog walk does not take me near our local lake. This is not conducive to great shots when you have a landscape or portrait lens on the camera.
The attached shots are birds without the proper lens, but they were there.

Yep. Once you get started noticing it's all over, Mike. Nice set.
Not only is some of this your fault, but I got extension tubes - you are the macro guy, Ken.

Birding is addicting, are you sure you want to get involved? 
I am afraid that it is too late, Jack.

Nice shots Mike. Is that an oriole with the orange head and black body? Looking forward to your "long lens" shots....

Thanks, Jeff, I actually spotted one by its call the other day. It was the yellow headed blackbird which has a particularly strangled sound.

A robin rendered poorly. The long lens has produced much better birds and led me to begin posting birds.
