Birdies and Bunny

The birds have been busy in the trees in the front and backyards with a variety of chirps and tweets, making quite the din.  But they are so small and so well hidden in the thick green foliage, it has been hard to spot them, even from under or next to the trees, except when they dart out at Mach 3 hurrying off to God knows where.  I stepped out this evening around 7:15 PM to see if I could at least see one bird, and was able to catch a few, with some persistence.

These are some pretty ordinary looking birds, and they are tiny birds shot from far away with a 200 mm lens, so the pics are not very good.  But it is something to have a few shots of these elusive little fliers.
There were American Robins nestled in the tree and on the rooftop of the neighbor.




There were mourning doves.




A male house finch.


A Carolina Wren.


And more American Robins.




Meanwhile, a bunny has been making an appearance off and on in the yard, and as I was on the hunt for the birds by the trees, this bunny was sunning itself in the late evening light, and I was able to capture a couple of decent shots before it too darted away.




Nothing great, photo quality wise, but it was a bit of a sense of accomplishment at something I tried for the first time.
