Macro Monday Bird Friends

I wanted to share some of the visitors I’ve been enjoying at my feeders. :)  I love watching the antics of the nuthatches – the white-breasted like this one and the red-breasted ones. IMG_7543

Finches abound, lol.  Sometimes, I have 30 or so house finches and goldfinches out there.

I’ve been happy to watch some crossbills coming around.

It would be thrilling to have the cardinals raise their babies here again.  Such beauties!

I just love the little pine siskin screaming her head off at the crossbill, and he’s just doing what he wants.IMG_7717

Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or any close-up) photo, post it on your blog and come back here and sign MckLinky. :) MM started on Sept 29, 2008 – THANX to all of you for helping make it such a fun start to the week!

I’m glad I decided to do a macro Monday entry today or I would have missed your bird shots post. I can imagine the little finch screaming ‘orders’ to his fellow winged companions. :D The third shot looks like he’s taking for a bit of a breather. :D

What a wonderful variety of birds you have at your feeder! LOVE the crossbills and the nuhatch, and the little finches .. and well, all of them! Great photos, too!

We’ve had dunnocks, sparrows, blackbirds, starlings, collared doves, wood pigeons, one robin, and a jackdaw so far this morning. We would have had goldfinches too, but I’ve just noticed that their thistle feeder is empty.

I have a long range lens for my Rebel, but no IS. Makes it really hard to get a good photo from to far away.
