A Week of Photo Friendly Birds

Here are some of the week's photos. I have to say the birds were very cooperative. I have so much to write and so little time with the end of school events and yard work. I must admit I am getting little yard work done.

Wait! Just a minute for the shutter to close. Too, Late.

Cassin's Kingbird was waiting for me to see that he was not the Western Kingbird that I thought I was seeing.

Sage Thrasher at Karval Lake kept me chasing him down the fence line before I snapped this.
