With the Pandemic and stay at home orders, I've found that watching the birds visit my yard has been somewhat of a relief. If you like to photograph birds in your yard, then this challenge is for you! Can you identify your visitors?
Good start, Sunnybuck, and thanks for hosting. This will be a good one also. I know someone will post her bird alley stuff.
Our yard birds are a little limited but we do enjoy those that show up.
Black chin hummers are prevalent in nesting season. Very territorial of my feeder.

Always have plenty of white wing doves as well as morning doves.

Every few years these small Inca doves will visit us.
and no shortage of Mocking birds in the neighborhood.

Here's a proud young tom turkey strutting his stuff to a potential mate. She seems underwhelmed, and actually just walked right past him. Times are tough all over...

Thanks for hosting! We have lots of birds both at home and at the cottage, probably what I shoot most often. Here are a few I’ve grabbed over the past couple of weeks.

Neat set - the gull has its spaghetti eating technique down pat.

I was just getting ready to shoot a photo of a pretty little yellow wren. I was startled by a noise and shadow and this guy swooped down and ate the wren before I could snap a picture. You can see the feather scattered on the grass. Sorry for some reason the picture would not up load!

Wow - talk about a shock!
