That makes it too much like work. I just like to watch them. I'm surprised I even know what a few of them are.

That flight picture is good too.
You got some high dollar equipment?
Or do I just not understand how to use mine to it's capabilities?
Kodak z700, has a action feature but seems to blur anyway

Starting to lean to the red shouldered hawk cause it has the red on the back of it's wings in the flight photo and the cooper's wings are dark, additionally the cooper's has a dark cap on it's head.
Just looking at audubon's book and comparing.

:yay: I really want to snap him diving on one of the doves. I've found feathers and I know that's why he's hanging around, but never caught him in the act. I lack patience.

I found a "dump duck" of all things behind my woodpile, gracias of a Red Tail-he visits the feeders every morning to shop for breakfast :jameo:

I have a dilemma here. Just moved down and our house has a perfectly-good martin house just outside in the back yard.

House sparrows have taken it over.

How can I evect them varmints and hopefully attract 1) purple martins [the ideal residents] or 2) the Carolina wrens that keep hanging around our yard?

Thanks!
Dot
