Such beauties. You got some great photos even if they were fast and sneaky little guys and gals. :)

Dyche Designs said...

Wow you got some amazing shots.

Ok. I am totally jealous of your mad bird photography skills. And you are SO right. Florida birds are FAST. At least the land birds. The big water birds - those I can catch. But you actually got a shot of those little pine warblers. The tail-waggers. And they are SUPER fast and REALLY tiny.

Great job!

i love birds ...
and i love your bird images ~ just beautiful!
a chance to look up close and study.
awesome work in catching them
as they light oh, so momentarily ...
quick! click! : )

i have three feeding stations and find it difficult to get anything done just watching the birds ... oh, and the one annoyed, annoying squirrel!
there is one blue jay that absolutely torments the squirrel and they have this great chase where the jay flies just out of reach as the squirrel leaps and bounds from branch to branch to catch him ... such antics!

the 'pecking' order is the great harry woodpecker (no one attempts zipping in for a snack when he is there), blue jays, downy woodpeckers, chickadees, red poles ... and the very bashful nuthatch ~ my favourite upside down bird ... : )

hmmm ... wanna come and take some pics? ; )
thanks for sharing your beauties!

Wow. I have terrible luck getting bird pictures so I'm resigned to just watching them IRL.

now I see why the birds head south ...

Caroline said...

Beautiful shots Beth!!! I can never get good ones of birds...too fast for me!

Hilary said...

Oh you've captured some beauties there.. some of my favourites among them.

Jeanie said...

My favorite bird lady is back with more birds -- and these are smashing -- especially those close shots! Oh, how lovely to see birds with GREEN behind them!

mrs mediocrity said...

You did a great job with all of these! And I saw so many of my little favorites. But the robin, well, he just made me smile, cause I miss the robins. As soon as I see one up here, which last year was in February, but this year I am guessing won't be until April, then I know that Spring is coming!

Beth...your blue skies are delicious! ~tweet tweet!~

Meri said...

Is this your photographer version of Tweeting?

Country Girl said...

Oh, nicely done, Beth! Love your bird photos! They really are difficult to capture sometimes and you've done an admirable job of it.

Marilyn said...

What great pictures of the birds. Love them all.

Joanna Jenkins said...

The colors of that blue jay. Wow.
Hope you're feeling good.

Self Sagacity said...

Gorgeous photos. So many different colors! I am so in love with them all.

Karen said...

Birds are really tough to capture the way you want them... especially in winter through a window! ... been doing alot of that lately, because it's so darn cold out.

Judy said...

They look all nice and warm.

Jaime said...

Beautiful shots Beth! That blue one makes me wish I could grow feathers too. Do they realize how good they've got it? Colourful and able to fly...no fair!
