Birding is being taken to a new level

Thank you all for your support and comments (and favs) on yesterday's hawk. I appreciated that you were all excited for me. It means so very much.

My husband and I are taking a "birding for beginners" class tonight.

When I left our nature centre this morning after my "birding and breakfast" outing, I actually pulled over on the road when I saw this cute little yellow guy on the wire. Maybe soon I'll be able to identify some of these birds I have been able to find.

@karenann Thanks, Karen. I was glad I stopped to get the shot. The class was fun--didn't see many birds, but learned a few things. @vikoko Thanks, Victoria. It was interesting. @maggiemae Thanks, I wasn't sure, but it does look like one. It is fun to learn about them, eh ; ) @carolmw Thanks, Carol. @tobi Thanks, Santina. @marlboromaam Thanks, Maggie. Always appreciate your kind comments. @socalgal Thanks, Patty. @buttercup Thanks, I thought it was interesting he would pick a tree with such similar colors--you think he knew??? @hudd Thanks, Hudd. Appreciate the comment. @leilaboyd It was fun. Thank you.

@twinsplusone It was fun. Thanks. @groovygirlrn Thanks, Sheri. @leannh Thanks. Appreciate the comment so much. @cjwhite I thought it was such a pretty little bird. @grannysue Not sure, Linda. I googled both the kingbird and the mourning warbler and I think maybe the mourning warbler, but not positive. @ellimae Ellen, Thanks so very much. I definitely appreciate the critique. That's why I'm here--I want to learn. I have been working on the rule of thirds, but I guess I didn't crop quite enough. Appreciate your comments, the Fav and your input. Will go on-line and read some more. @nanalisarocks Thanks, Lisa. @myautofocuslife Thanks, Livia. It was fun. @annbo Thanks, Ann. Always appreciate your comments.
