It is a gorgeous shot of a gorgeous bird. I saw a Blue Jay the other day in the hedge in my backyard; in fact I have seen it twice. And a Northern Cardinal on a nearby tree branch. I'm seeing lots of Starlings and American Robins nowadays. They seem to think that Spring has finally arrived. ;-) With your help and Pinterest's I'm starting to identify some birds on my own.Carmenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242364668293349799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-23600020886562173292018-03-30T11:22:15.938-05:002018-03-30T11:22:15.938-05:00Most of the pictures were taken with my old beat u...Most of the pictures were taken with my old beat up Canon Rebel.

When I tried to get a picture of the small owl that visited my yard the other day I was not close enough. Well also I was using my phone. But I was afraid it would fly away before I got the shot. What kind of camera do you use?Judy Kruegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11632346091869688862noreply@blogger.com
