Birds of the USA

I'm not even going to try to pretend that I have any skills photographing birds. I began birding in late 2010 when Cindy and I visited different wildlife areas in Florida. We've also set up bird feeders and bird baths at our home in the mountains of North Carolina and are making our property a bird friendly habitat. This gallery is a way of keeping track of the birds I've been able to shoot, either while out and about or through the windows of our home. Most were shot in the southeast, but there are also a few mixed in from my travels to other parts of the country. If you think I have the wrong ID on an image, please feel free to let me know :)

I saw a bird this morning I have never seen before. I came upon your website and found it: the Rose-Breasted Grosbeak 1! Thank you for sharing your photos of southeastern U.S. birds. It is very well done and helpful.

If you just started this in 2010 I would have to say you have been busy. Great shots. I have gotten so I feed the birds and squirrels every day and there are of a lot of different birds showing up that I am not familiar with. These pictures help a lot. If this isn't your full time job it might be worth a go. I have seen professionals that weren't this good!
