Thanks Bruce for this wonderful site! I come here often to identify the myriad of birds I've been seeing at my new home in Tellico Plains (moved from Colorado 10/19). Your photos make it easy to compare and confirm. Saw a new bird this morning and was able to identify a rose-breasted grosbeak snacking at my feeder on the front deck.

Dear Bruce,
I have just recently moved to Murfreesboro, Tn,I have been a bird watcher for many years,and many parts of the world and states.I have not seen some of the birds that I have seen latelyfor several years, Most of the birds I have seen here I also saw in Il. and south Carolina, has brought me much pleasure, being from Texas and the area I lived there were not as many. Enjoyed your site,Thanks for all your work. Elaine Ireland

Bruce, these pics of birds are amazing. Thank you for your galleries here. My husband and I like to bird watch from our deck. It is really amazing to hear the many bird sounds and see them feeding off our feeders in our yard. My mother is a bird watcher too and we all sit on our deck looking at God's wonderful creations and blessings we have. Thank you for such beautiful pictures.

-We live in Knoxville, Tennessee and just this past weekend my wife heard and saw an impressive bird .She was in our backyard and was bending over to begin pulling weeds at that instant she heard what sounded like a bird descending at a high rate of speed. It reminded her of a jet plane flying by and felt a wind gust. She hurriedly turned and stood up and saw a big bird already swiftly flying away about 100 or so yards away. It banked to the left and continues to soar and landed in a tree. The bird coloring was brown or reddish brown with a broad wing span of what we estimate to be about 48” from wing tip to wing tip at a distance of 100 yards. Do you know or think you know the type name of the bird she saw? Ed

Thank you for offering all these beautiful photographs. My objective today was to try to identify a certain bird we call the "We Don't Know What It Is" bird. You have shots of the female house finch that appears to be the bird in question.We spent over an hour viewing your galleries,all the photographs are wonderful. Thank you again posting these beautiful photographs. You have made 2 "friends" for life! We have "bookmarked" your site for future viewing. keep up the good work!

You have some great bird photos and that brings me to asking if you can identify a particular bird that is present at this time. It is hanging with the gold finches but I have been watching birds for a long time and I've never seen this particular one. I know what the male and female finches look like and this one is quite different. I wish I knew how to post a picture of it but at this time I do not. The bird has yellow bars on it's wings and when it is in flight it has a lot of yellow underneath it's wings and also across it's tail. I certainly would like to hear your thoughts because I've studied books and everything I can find but have yet to know what this guy is. Thanx in advance and if you could dgive me an address, I'd like to send a picture.

I was going to comment on a photo or two, but there are just so many beautiful shots, it would have taken me hours. Your photography is just stunning. Colors, sharpness, composition, lighting, everything. Awesome work. Thank you for sharing your talent.
