Backyard Bird Photographs
Taken with my Olympus camera. Watching these beautiful creatures is a treat that I am thankful to be able to share.

Red Belly Woodpecker keeps our trees insect free š
Pileated Woodpecker does major woodwork on the trees
Red Breasted Grosbeak under the feeder
One more glass victim, my husband is holding him.
I think this Gold Finch did not want to leave. My husband, Dean was bouncing him on his hand trying to get him ready to fly off
I was home alone when this Titmouse hit the window so I had to get down to ground level for a good shot.
This is a great camera to take wildlife and nature photographs
