Lately I’ve taken some more pictures of birds. I just updated my bird page with these new birds.
#14 Cedar Waxwing
#13 Northern Mockingbird
#12 Cardinal
#11 Cooper’s Hawk
#10 Downy Woodpecker
#9 American Robin
I walked 2.50 miles outside while bird watching today.
I’m determined to increase the number of birds I photograph in 2017. In 2016 I only photographed 41 different birds. It was a busy year and I didn’t have much time to go bird watching. 2017 will be different. I will have much more time in the second half of this year to photograph birds.
On this first day of 2017 I went bird watching and was able to capture five birds. They were:
#5 Downy Woodpecker
#4 Cardinal
#3 American Crow
#2 White Throated Sparrow
#1 Tufted Titmouse
Over the weekend I added three new birds to the 2015 list.
#10 White-throated Sparrow
#9 House Sparrow
#8 Downy Woodpecker
On Saturday morning I was watching the bird feeder and saw a Downy Woodpecker getting some seeds. That was the first time I’ve ever seen a Downy Woodpecker actually at the feeder. I also saw an American Goldfinch with winter plumage visiting the feeder. I know it’s the time of the year I’ll be seeing less and less visitors at the feeder, but I thought that was cool to see the Downy Woodpecker and the winter plumage American Goldfinch. Here are some pictures.
Before leaving for Charlottesville this morning I saw this Downy Woodpecker. It’s bird #20 photographed in 2013.
