This is a collection of bird pictures taken in my backyard and around the neighborhood. You will see stills and a number of videos of birds--feeding, flying, and singing.

Hey John,
Thanks for sharing. Very cool! I always remember my grandma sitting by her front window watching all of the birds and her multiple feeders for all of the animals. Funny, since we've moved, I'm always looking out our back window to see what kind of birds we have dropping by. I certainly can't identify many, but we get alot of cardinals, blue jays and littlel brown birds (that's the technical name). Last summer we put up a bird feeder and though I'm not the best at keeping it filled (they eat alot quickly, especially when it snows) it does attract quiet a crowd! The kids usually help us fill it up and watch for the different birds that come by.
I have to say I am suprised, that the hawk has such a familiar song. I guess I didn't realize how prevalent they must be... maybe in this area??? I also just learned that Red Robins are one of the first bird out in the spring - the kids' books teach me too!
Anyhow thanks for sharing :)

Enjoy reading your blog and Twitter sites. I like seeing the birds that catch your eye. I'll have to get going on taking some photos of my own.
