Amateur Hour (up dated photos)

[MNMUSKIES]

Hopefully you guys won’t laugh me off this board, but I have been enjoying all the photos you have been posting and wanted to post a few that I took. I am a point and shoot kind of guy right now. But hopefully in the near future I will be able to get a good camera to get some nicer shots.

Found this little guy in our bushes in front of our house, not sure what he is.

Here are some of mom and baby gold finch

MNMUSKIES, thanks for sharing these. Looks like you've got a bona fide aviary in your yard!

Well, you point and shot your way to some pretty cool nestling pics. The only thing I'll be 'laughing my head off' about is the funny little goldfinch that looks more like an alien at this point than a bird. Good posting.

These little ones sure are growing fast

Nice updates! Um, who does their hair?

[ShawnZ]

Wow, great images of these youngsters. I'm not sure when you took the photos but I would guess less than one week from the time you took these, they will be gone

[Birdsong]

Oh look! Now they are beginning to look like real birds. Thanks for the update!

I took the pics yesterday, my kids and I have been having a lot of fun watching them grow up. If they get much bigger there won't be enough roon in that small nest.
