When I'm home, I watch and listen for them all day at the feeders too...

I love sitting in my blind by my feeders - by the hour - watching the show. Violence,sex, humor - it is all there and it beats TV.<br /><br />In three outings to the sage grouse lek, I have already taken over 400 pictures. I don't have the perfect shot yet.<br /><br />I love the post - thanks.Bill S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17918013366385456020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27055376.post-59735728376660771562010-04-10T20:32:31.343-04:002010-04-10T20:32:31.343-04:00I really enjoyed that post.

I have started appreciating my local birds more and more, but I still love the adventure of going to a new place to see their local birds.Birding is Fun!https://www.blogger.com/profile/11836693921863185316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27055376.post-77428679228793918772010-04-10T19:47:39.372-04:002010-04-10T19:47:39.372-04:00This was a fantastic post.

They make me smile and sometimes even laugh at their antics and I would be lost without them. :)Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17321025889532729842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27055376.post-73349946073624265602010-04-10T12:19:28.237-04:002010-04-10T12:19:28.237-04:00Hi Chris,

You are so right -- we often take for granted some of these wonderful creatures that are right in our own backyard. The next time I see a Blue Jay, robin or chickadee in my yard, I will think of your words.Erica Houskeeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16452427707671237183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27055376.post-8281805296942263212010-04-10T09:16:35.197-04:002010-04-10T09:16:35.197-04:00HI Chris,

Sometime we just do not realize the chance we have to see the birds we see... Especially after a great trip like the one you did.. And maybe also because our birds seem to be so familiar... But heye, you are getting ncie pictures of your familiar bird like the grosbeak... and time to time a little bit of something different is good... That's why we go on birding trip ;-)Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16336362938871245037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27055376.post-43318424882677665762010-04-10T07:15:19.064-04:002010-04-10T07:15:19.064-04:00Great post!

Just a Blue Jay, this is a gorgeous bird with tons of personality, it is not "just". But, like you, I remember last year in Ecuador where I could not stop looking at the feeders... all new! Nonetheless, sounds like you have a some great guests at your feeder! Wow, an Evening Grosbeak!Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05366027359523309604noreply@blogger.com
