BIRDS

I first became interested in taking the occasional photo of birds, when I put up a bird feeder in our backyard in the 80’s during our years in Canada. I was fascinated by the many varieties, along with the coloring of birds that sat on the fence. Most birds that did visit the feeder were sparrows, but occasionally others would appear.

The American Robin was the first to catch my eye, as it was totally different to our own Robin, although seen the same times of year.

I had thought of putting one up in our backyard here, but there are far to many cats strolling the fence tops, & fear this would not bring as many as I would like; but that thought is still there…
