I am a complete newbie when it comes to backyard birding. As a kid, I always thought birders were nerds. So be it. Photographing them is a blast! Of course I shot these on one of those REALLY cold single digit days. I learned one very important thing: I need a new birding lens for sure. After a couple of years shooting birds and wanting that lens, this session finally pushed me over the edge. Despite the lens, I think this birdie is kinda cute, but I have no idea who he or she is...
 |
| He or she looks all royal...nestled under a leaf canopy as if seated on a throne under palm fronds... |
 |
| ...and swaying away, perched on another more mobile throne. |
Can anyone identify this bird for me? I am sure it is a very common one, but I have no idea...
