The Yardbirds - what a great band. I was just..oh, wait these are actually birds! And wonderful shots, too. I love that Hummer that is just starting to show its colors. And the dove, too. Great shots!

Adorable birds. Since I love red so much the cardinals are my favourite.

Doves are very minimalist builders aren't they? Love the little cardinal. Hope he grows into those feet. :)

Am really fascinated with the hummingbirds... we don't have them here in Japan, I think...

You must have the patience of a saint in order to get these many wonderful bird pictures. I salute you! (And I obviously need to work on MY photography patience...lol)

These birds are all so beautiful. I especially love the baby bird pics. Thanks for sharing!
