never too old for new birds

 The last few weeks have brought a number of new-to-me birds across my path -- some have been shared here already, but here's the whole group...

 
Elf Owl.

 

 
Black-chinned Sparrow.

 

 
Calliope Hummingbird.

 

 
Spotted Towhee.

 

 
Orange-crowned Warbler.

 

 
Painted Redstart.

 

 
Black-throated Gray Warbler.

 

 
Pacific-slope Flycatcher.

Such new discoveries in familiar places always make me wonder -- how much am I not yet seeing in the world right around me on a daily basis?

Have you considered professional bird photography LuAnne? Seriously. You are getting scary-good.

Oops, sorry it took me so long to thank you for that generous comment! Recently I joined a FB group of birders & photogs that I know from DBG & elsewhere. They are very generous in providing tips & info, which is helping me a lot. Unfortunately, the better my photos, the worse the condition of my housekeeping. Good thing my family has low expectations in that department!
