Bird in Backyard

Saw him out the kitchen window and was able to capture him before he flew away. I do not know what kind he is. View large

Nice capture. Most of them fly away before I can focus my camera.

@vernabeth Thank you Beth, I got lucky, he was closer and flew but not out of range.

@scooter Thank you Scooter, it was luck and keeping the camera close

@pwallis Thank you Paula, I never had before, looked it up in Wikipedia and @angievega nailed it
@orangecrush Thank you Jerry, I hear the birds from early morning, but rarely see them close, so I am happy to get a photo of any of them

@bill_d Thank you Bill. I appreciate the time and the comment.

[Lina Dever]

What a pretty bird! Amazing you were able to spot him with his coloring. He seems to blend in to the scenery.

[Harry J Benson]

@sourkraut Thank you Lina, He was closer as I brought up the camera he flew over to where I captured him.

[Lauren]

i find that birds are so hard to shoot and get a good focus on, so nicely done with this one Harry!

[Naomi]
