Backyard Birding - Winter 2010

I've tried several times to take photographs of the birds in our yard. Alas, when I get close enough to capture a clear photo, the birds fly away. For now, you can at least get an idea from these imperfect pictures.

Finches hanging out in a birch tree near one of the feeders, waiting to get in.

Background so you can see the finch feeder surroundings prior to the close-up.

Going in for the close-up.

We hear that the brightly-colored finches will come through in spring and I can hardly wait!
