Yard Birds

spechtal

Hi everyone. I have enjoyed lurking about and looking at everyone's beautiful photos. Here is my first attempt at de-lurking and offering some photos of some of the birds that have come to my feeders in the last while.

female hairy woodpecker


male downy woodpecker


roughed grouse (it was quite cloudy and hand held)


Okay, this is not from my yard, this is from a summer trip to Saskatoon.
The White Pelicans hang out by the weir, catching fish


Thanks for looking. Any comments would be much appreciated, Angela

Very nice
Especially like the white Pelicans:>))
Pics are a tad small though.

yeah, sorry about the photos sizes. I wasn't exactly sure what I was doing, so I was flipping back and forth between the Skippy's excellent tutorial and the post. For next time, I will choose a big file size.

Thanks for your comment, Angela

Nice shots. The pelican one is cool

Welcome. I love the woodpeckers and the roughed grouse is a very photogenic bird, too bad there is some motion blur in the shot. Pellies are always good for a pic. They do not seem to mind the lens very much.

Hi Angela

Welcome to dgrin!
I thought your backyard birds looked like mine, so peeked at your location! I'm right near by in Edmonton!!!

Keep the shots coming!

Thanks Ann, You're right I am very close, just west of Edmonton. You and the other dgrin crew passed by where I live on your way to Jasper.

I very much liked the posts from that trip too.

Hi Grainbelt,
I loved Saskatoon. I hadn't been there since I was a kid. The Pelicans and the beautiful walkways in the river valley are incredible. Here are a couple more of the pelicans.
