A few years back a friend pointed out birds existence to me, and now I can’t not notice them. They sing, they are colorful, they soar in open skies, and yet many people are unaware of them. Of course I enjoy identifying them, but even more, I love capturing them with my camera. I have hundreds, maybe thousands, of bird photos, but these are my favorites.
The Black-chinned hummingbird — I might have hundreds of photos just from this day. But it was worth it to get this shot.
The Cedar Waxwing — This is my favorite bird. It looks like its tail was delicately painted with a brush. And then the eye mask just makes me smile.
The American Kestrel — A fascinating falcon for sure, but to see it in its winter clothes…wow!
