Delightful! Is this an unusual occurrence in your neighborhood? :)

Kind of, they live in a large wooded area a few blocks away but unusual to see them this far from home. Looking at them they are all juniors

Nice captures of a fascinating bird - add them to the bucket list! May I offer a suggestion for even better pics? (I know these were "on the fly", but, still.) look at the backgrounds in these. Most of them have backyard stuff, and a lot have "joins", with the landscape timbers going through the body or head. The 2nd to last is by far the best in this regard. It appears you were outside with them, and they tolerated a little movement - if you CAN, try to sidle to a good angle. It's like hunting to stalk and get a clear shot, but you don't have to pluck feathers!

I will be sure to let the birds know that they have to pose with a decent background behind them. Who would of ever thought that one needs a better background for a better image.
Really good thinking!!

The only time I have ever seen these are at a zoo. What a blessing to have them living nearby in the wild. Awesome shots by the way. Even the back of the feathers look cool. :D
