I like the top one. He seems to be saying "Yo! I'm out of food here!". :D

Precisely.
Good photos-so what is the name of the second bird? I love to bird watch so I like seeing different pictures of birds/

The second one is a male house finch, Melody.
I just put up this new feeding station so the old crowd is still a little leery of it. I figure in another week, they'll be back in full force. I get a pretty good assortment: mockingbirds, gold finch, house finch, starlings, woodpeckers, cowbirds, LOTS of variety. :D
ok, thanks. :thumbsup:
We have finches and blue jays around here but I don't know what a cowbird is. If you capture one on photo you will have to share here.

Here's a whole herd of 'em!

Hey thanks for sharing. We do not have any of these kinds of birds around here. They are quite different.

To be honest, until I took up photography about a year and a half ago, I probably wouldn't know WHAT they were and called them a grackle. What part of the country are you in? Author, Stan Tekiela, has written a field guide for every state. They're not your typical guide that has idealized drawings of what a bird SHOULD look like. He takes photos of them and (here's the cool part) the book is divided by the main color of the bird. It's a snap to do a quick look-up. I picked my copy at a Wild Birds, Unlimited store but, you can get them on Amazon... cheaper there too.
I live in Canada but that sounds like a good book :thumbsup:
They are beautiful pictures. WOW thank you for sharing!
