February 9, 2011-In between feeders. This guy was going from feeder to feeder. Seems like he wanted to stop and pose for me. I wanted to stay out longer but I got too chilled. They are saying it will get colder for us and possibly have snow tonight. Day 40 #365Project @sharkbayte

  • June 29, 2011-Finally I caught up with the Blue Jay's (Cyanocitta cristata). I had seen a few flying around at the feeders and other yards, but every time I put the camera to my face or turned to grab a shot they took off. I got a few shots, one I really liked but you couldn't tell it was a Blue Jay by the way she held her head. I had counted five so far, there probably are a few more. (Day 180:365 @sharkbayte).
  • June 6, 2011-A hummer sitting still for a what seems like a nanosecond. (Day 157:365 @sharkbayte)
  • June 3. 2011-This is a male Ruby-throated Hummingbird, I finally captured him. (Day 154:365 @sharkbayte)
  • May 23, 2011-Stopped by for a drink. Just wish I had the 100-400mm for this shot. (Day 143:365 2sharkbayte)
  • May 16, 2011-Ready to leave. As I was rolling through the neighborhood I spotted this humming bird drinking from this feeder. It's the first time I shot a humming bird. Boy are they quick. He was gone as soon as I shot this. I am hoping to return to this feeder and watch for more hummers. (Day 136:365 @sharkbayte)
  • March 6, 2011-Chipping Sparrow, a few different bird species started to show up this week. This is one of them I haven't seen before. (Day 65 #365Project @sharkbayte)
  • March 3, 2011-Hey human, it's getting kind of low on seeds in here. Bar keep hello?? (Day 62 #365Project @sharkbayte)
  • February 28, 2011-Waiting for a spot at the feeder. The birds were everywhere today. Singing, eating flying and fleeing from the cats. I was able to get really close to the tree with the feeders on it and watched this Downy Woodpecker for the longest time. I took way too many pictures of her, and had a hard time choosing which one to use. I liked this one because of the light and there weren't any branches in the way. (Day 59 #365Project @sharkbayte)
  • February 27, 2011-Dark eyed Junco checking things out. I thought I was spying on him, turns out he was watching me all along. (Day 58 #365Project @sharkbayte)
  • February 17, 2011-Fly away. Sure by the time I got to the tree, focused on the bird, took the shot... (Thinking I could get a few more in), she was gone and the processing of the raw file was too slow. Day 48 #365Project @sharkbayte

  • Caught off guard. I was trying to capture the smaller bird, when the bigger one flew into frame. Day 29:365 @sharkbayte
  • Got seed? After what seemed like weeks, the rain has stopped and the sun was out. Still cold but at least it was sunny. The birds were out and looking for more seeds. Day 28:365 @sharkbayte
  • On the lookout. Today there were a dozen or so birds in my neighbors yard. All the bird feeders were filled with birds. Then I noticed the cats moving in. This one was very alert to the cats. Day 24:365 @sharkbayte
  • I am going out today for the first time since I moved here in July. It's only to the doctors but it is nice to finally get out and go somewhere. It took this long to get transportation through the county! It's going to be a very long day so I had to get something quick to post. Day 25:365 @sharkbayte
  • Nice act, balancing a seed on your beak! very clever!
  • Can't a bird eat in peace without someone stalking me??
  • gulp! shouldn't sing with seeds in your mouth!
  • Must be easy to see and pick out certain seeds this way.
  • Just checking out the menu. He just took over this feeder. Not sure what type suet was added as this is my neighbor’s feeder. Day 22:365 @sharkbayte
