Title: The usual suspect - backyard birds

Shot over the last few days around the house.

Cardinal -  a little bit back lit but I liked the slight catch light in his eye

Dark Eyed Junco - a couple of nice captures without these guys on the ground for a change

Robin - this nest is in a tree just outside my son's window - this is going to give me some great photographic opportunities as well as some nice learning opportunities for my son.

Is it just me or are there more RWBB's around this year?  This is the first time we can remember seeing 15 RWBB males in the trees behind our house at one time before.

it may not be as you hope for - squirrels predate on a lot of city robin's nests
