A couple of images taken with my new toy. A Nikon D80. I really like it.

Brown Headed Cowbird (male). Not a regular visitor, but welcome to some seed.

House Finch (male). This is a very colorful one. These are quite numerous and we see them all the time.

Thankfully the boy’s uncle was armed and killed the lion. Another example of an armed citizen defending an innocent person from a violent threat.

Spring has sprung in the Phoenix area and the africanized killer bees are becoming active, I guess. Remember when honey bees were regarded as a good species? Hope those folks recover OK.

A wintry day here in Prescott, AZ. The first photo is my garage roof with some snow. The garage is behind the house.

Frozen Roof

Next, here are two doves at the bird feeder outside my window. The horizontal lines are windows blinds. Note the finch in the tree behind the feeder waiting his turn to eat.

Birds in Winter

We’re having some light snow today. We feed the birds and regularly have “finch riots” where we hear many fiches (mostly) competing for spots on the bird feeders.

More of these photos can be seen here.
