Nothing unique, but still a blast.

All but the Kingfisher, were shot with a monopod. I'm going to have to start using my monopod more often. It certainly does help.

That little finch was flirting with you!!! She's a cutie. I didn't use the monopod today--now I'm a believer.

I was sitting out in the open, so they were cropped quite heavily. I'm sold.

You can bang your hand on the pulpit and preach the Gospel of monopods for years, and still the faithless won't listen until they discover it for themselves.

Sorry. Yesterday was a church day. OK, OK, I worshiped under the Cathedral of Pines at Augusta at the Masters (courtesy of CBS, of course).

Nice images, Mike! The female house finches are sweet, but especially give those fox sparrows a kick in the pants, will you? It's been a lot of months since we've seen the gray/rufous sweeties up here.

Keep that kingfisher in your sights X. That's a bird I'd really like to get some killer shots of!
