Birds Galleries

Blackbirds, Jays, Starlings Etc. : Jays and Redwings are related, and they're beautiful in their own way. Crows and ravens are just plain funny at times, but elusive. In two years, I've gotten one good photo of each. The redwing blackbirds you'll see, by the way, are mostly a subspecies bi-colored living in the San Francisco Bay Area. I've found flocks in fields, by the ocean picking algae off rocks, and in my back yard. As ubiquitous as they are, it's awfully tough getting a shot with the males' epaulets flashing.

Hummingbirds : With a P&S amera, don't expect any in flight soon.

Phoebes, Juncos, Tits, Chickadees : It didn't start out that way, but phoebes have become a favorite subject and easier to photograph once I found out their behavior. The Say's Phoebe has been elusive, but give me time. And then it just seems natural to add the smaller, similar birds.

Raptors : Birds are the toughest of all point-and-shoot subjects. Raptors are even more skittish than other birds, so getting a good close shot is a challenge. This gallery includes successes as well as failures.

Shorebirds : Some, like the belted king-fisher and killdeer, are iffy as shorebirds, but they're here anyway.

Sparrows, Finches and Other Small Birds : Sparrows, finches. Hummers and Phoebes in other galleries..

Waxwings, Robins, Doves, etc. : Waxwings, Bluebirds, Chickadees, Robins, and More. I had to throw in a few Turkey Vultures unless I classified them as "Blackbirds."
