Backyard birding is also very productive and effortless as much of the time I work from home, and live on a migratory path. Even though I have lived here for 7 years, I’ve only recently noticed that there are more than Chickadees and Blue Jays hanging out in my backyard. And do I’ve been able to capture a lot of pretty birdies just in my yard or on my street in the past few weeks.

Some of these are familiar to me but some new to me such as the Waxwings (both varieties) and the Sharp Shinned Hawk.
