I Have Been Bird Watching!

Sorry for not making any posts recently. I havn't been too into anything in the blogosphere lately. For the most part I have just been finding things I can document on my own. I started some screen printing- I will be posting photos up real soon. We have also been spending alot of time with Wayne's mama- such a sweet lady(Hi Patti). She has the most precious birds in the area she lives in. So much diversity. I try to bring a camera when ever possible when we go to visit. So if you guys are interested I'd like to share a few breeds of birds I have captured. The fun part about bird watching with a bird feeder to draw them in- They wait their turn! Most same breeds will eat together. The only rude guy around seems to be the Steller's Jay. They kick everyone out thinking they own the place, but I think the Northern Flicker is much bigger. If the Steller's Jay were a human they would probably drive a "tricked out" truck and tailgate poor old ladies..hehe
Happy Learning.

My Seagull Photo Collection

One of my favorite things to do is take pictures of birds(I want a guide to Northwest Bird Species)(Got it-Thanks Patti). Sadly seagulls are most times the only bird I ever get photos of. What I just found out is that there are 28 species in the U.S. and I thought, "Well they all look the same to me". Then I started comparing photos and I have seen alot of different kinds! All of these photos were taken in the same day. Wayne fed all of the birds crackers, bread, and stale Christmas caramel popcorn. It is amazing! They swoop down and hover right over you until you toss something, and they catch it in their mouth! Screw playing fetch with a dog, Try a seagull!!
