When I open my window...

Dick on Aruba

It's not hard to guess that I love birds and that I enjoy the heck out of my backyard.

About 6 to 8 different spieces do visit my yard on regular basis and I'm often there with my gear to snap some pics.

Here a few snaps. I hope you like them.

I'm always amazed of how fast and swift they can fly.

Nice shots Dick You obviously have a variety of perches in your yard which makes for many good angles and framing.

Very nice shots Dick!

Swartzy

Your captures are always a treat
We don't have those out our back window.....most of our birds took off somewhere...probably to your house... Great series again. Thanks for sharing....you're making me want to go get a 300mm real soon.

I like the 1st one!!

Your current lens is surely a winner.
