Since we put up a bird display in the hallway outside my office, I've been trying to get some really good shots to go in the digital frame we have at the center of it.  After going through my collection, I found that there were some very common species that I did not have a really good image of.  I've been keeping my feeder full and blasting away in burst mode.

Some, like this one, I've already labeled for use in the digital frame.  This one would be better without the shadow.

This one looks fairly natural, but there's a suet feeder inches away.

This mourning dove is right below the finch feeder.

These move so fast that it's hard to get a shot without motion blur.  The catchlight in the eye really makes this one.

These obnoxious grackles will rob out most of my feeder contents, but they are beautiful birds.

I finally got a nice sequence of Tufted Titmouse, away from the feeder, even.  They also move very quickly, and usually don't light anywhere nearby.  Click through to see more of this species, and a few more in the online album.

The red-breasted nuthatch is rare enough, and they don't like to hang around the feeder long.  I'm sure this is the best shot I've ever gotten of one.  I'll have to settle for it being on the feeder.

This killdeer was downtown by "The Slough."

This is the "supermoon" we had last week.  It was overcast on the night it was full, but I caught it here on an earlier, clear night when it was 85% waxing gibbous.
