BIRDS around the Ottawa Valley (27 sub-galleries)

I don't take a lot of bird photos because my point and shoot camera is not the best for this sort of thing. These shots are not going to compare to those taken with good telephoto lens and better equipment, by better photographers.

I represent the Petawawa Horticultural society. On June 25th we are planning to give out packages of sunflower seeds. Could we please copy your gallery and use it on a bristol board to educate the resident of the area. Thank you

Saw two birds, both red plumage but not the usual black crested cardinals, They seemed to be fighting?mating and tinges of brown. But again they were larger than cardinals, more like robin size. No matter it was nice to see them back. Also saw Kestrels.

I have a question about a Rock Pigeon with a green band around leg with number 0396...does this band mean that it belongs to someone?

I love your pictures. Many are better than some in the guide books.

It's amazing how you do with a p & s. Some with 500 and 600mms do not fair as well. How do you get close?
