Western Kingbird
Looking for dinner, this species is hated by beekeepers as they grab bees out of the air.

Some kinda bird... (small crop)
I thought they were starlings but they are not. Found in the high desert 60 miles east of Burns, Oregon. The tree is a Russian Olive.

Could ever an artist paint or a weaver weave such amazing detail in so common a thing...

Black-headed Grosbeak
I've not seen one of these around here before. This is a massive crop so please forgive the out of focus issue. I just snapped and he was gone.

Nice birdie!
Not a fancy bird, not a fancy picture, I just like the overall effect.

A young Northern Flicker?
Maybe some of you birders can identify this for me. No shield on it's chest...taken in southeast Wyoming.

Caught under the feeder.jpg
We don't see many of these coming through the Oberland. I think it's a Mourning Dove, not sure though...

Raven
I know it looks odd, but I was standing almost directly under this talkative fellow. I took maybe 20 pictures and he never gripped the branch he was standing on...curious.
