It’s been a great day for birding, considering the weather and the fact that I didn’t take my camera out of the house. Ten different species of birds visited my bird buffet today, and I got reasonably good pictures of eight of them…standing inside my kitchen window and aiming my lens at the birds as they flitted from feeder to feeder. That many different species would have been enough, but what made me happiest was glancing out the window and seeing the first hummingbird of the season, sipping sugar water from the feeder I had just filled. (Click a bird to scroll through the larger pictures).
That’s the lot for today. Unfortunately, the downy woodpecker and Baltimore oriole got away without waiting for a photo opp. Maybe they will visit another day, but I’m not complaining. It was a successful day of birding, and I did it all from inside my kitchen window! Thanks for stopping by. If you have time, leave a comment so we can have a conversation, or stop by my other blog and leave a comment there.
SEEN ALONG THE TRAIL 
Wonderful shots of your visitors! This is such a great time of year for birds! I had my first hummingbird here on Sunday and was lucky to have my camera right next to me. I got two fairly decent shots and was so excited! Your photos of the hummer are GREAT!! I hope you get many more visits over the spring and summer! 🙂

Thank you, Kathy. You can probably tell I was pretty excited to see the hummers. Looking forward to five months of hummingbird visits before they migrate.
