Many of our members have a rich appreciation of nature and the natural world as shown in the pictures of the beautiful things in their back yards.

Nicely done. The BIF is cool
Thanks Curmudge! I value your comments highly! I love catching birds in flight...their wings are so beautiful & the color patterns so unexpected! We rarely to never see them with the naked eye! I am really thankful for my new Canon T8i with over 7 frames per second that enables me to catch more good ones...notice I did not say perfect ones...hehe.

Hey Doc...I love your comment! My sentiments too...I am loving spending enough time in the backyard to learn the timing & rhythm of the varied life there. It is very soothing in these unsettled times.Thanks...Walt

Very nice work, Walt!
Thanks Mike! Pretty bird isn't he? At the very first I thought it might be the more rare Hooded Oriole that I captured a few years ago...but the white belly area and the faint Olive colored hood area that will be black next year...had me puzzled. Merlin & other pictures showed me this as a juvenile Bullock's. Thank for the comment...Walt

It is a beautiful bird. You made a considerable effort to attract and you were ready to photograph! Very well done!

Thank you Carol! I just love sharing the beautiful birds God created for all to enjoy! I now wish I had started much younger! Although I was aware of birds & how wonderful they were even as a young child. I used to spend hours at my grandparents laying on the nicely slanted door to their basement in an almond orchard! Can you imagine how beautiful it was in the springtime & full bloom? The scented air! Whenever they wanted to find me they looked there first! I remember counting a dozen Northern Flickers all at once in that paradise of an orchard! This was in the late 40's & I was 4-5.
