Ben and found this bird about a year ago then on monday we went shooting in yhe same place and I said boy it would be good to see that orange bishop again :scratch no not that just a sparrow
The orange bishop is gorgeous!!! I'm still wondering how you all get so close to these birds without spooking them into flying. I can't get anywhere near close... it seems if I go outside with my camera the birds all disappear!!!

it seems if I go outside with my camera the birds all disappear --yep that is the birdy rule but a real answere is you go out time after time and learn the area #1 then learn about the birds and how they act feed ect ect #2 move slow and do not chase them best bet get the shot as they move around you --the more you go out the harder it gets

Really lovely shots, Jeff. Those little guys can sit on those pretty reeds of grass, unlike the raptors, so they make for some special shots of their own!
Nice series Jeff. That "Bishop" is a cool bird. I've not seen any of those around here. Care to trade for an osprey or perhaps an American oyster catcher?

the big birds get more play but the little ones are harder to get and it is my goal to get as many different birds in my collection as I can --thank you for the nice comment very much appreciated
