Red-winged Blackbird

Something new showed up at the feeder today. Must be all that new black oil sunflower seed I put out. I've never had one of these on the feeder before. They usually stay at the lake near my house but never come into the yard to feed. He was here all day today. -Kurt Horsley

Finally got some better photos of the Flycatcher today. I was wondering when he would be around again. -Kurt Horsley

Squirrel

Posted By Kurt Horsley

Well, I've hit a new low. Tyler is posting amazing pictures of trophy deer and all I can come up with is a squirrel. That's what I get for living in the city. Astronomy isn't any good here either. Check out that nice blue sky. It's amazing what a polarizing filter can do for digital imaging. -Kurt Horsley

Ooops, need more ID help

Okay,
I see half a dozen birds that look like this on the chart. Anyone know for sure what it is? It was photographed Saturday, 5-11-03 in north Texas. The yellow color was even more intense than in the photo. -Kurt Horsley

Another squirrel

This one let me get fairly close. I guess he felt safe up high, or maybe he wasn't going to let me interrupt his meal. -Kurt Horsley

Here's something different

Ducks at sunset. The round "sun" is actually the product of lens vignetting. The sky was a beautiful gold color so it came out looking like the sun itself backlighting the ducks. -Kurt Horsley

Why take a picture of a Jack Rabbit?

Posted By Kurt Horsley

...because it was there. And because I'll take a picture of almost anything... -Kurt Horsley
