Feathered friends

I have, it seems, always had an inclination for bird watching. I remember as a child watching them with my gram and always having feeders around for these feathered friends. If you have never watched birds I recommend it. It's quite amusing. There are many different kinds, different colors and behaviors to observe. They hop around. They squawk at each other. They are quite interesting little creatures. I have found that I especially enjoy watching the American Goldfinch. There's something about these bright yellow little critters that catches my eye. Even when they are dull in color I still find them entertaining.
Although I am not in any birding groups or feeder watches, capturing these wonderful birds on camera always delights me. I am inspired by local photographer Jerry Acton. Someday I hope to be as talented as he is! If you have not seen his work please click on his name above and check it out.
