Some recent bird images - 12-23-2010, 08:01 PM


I have been very active as of late not with the birds though. I hope to rectify that soon, but we all need a break every now and then.

I ran across this snipe, at least I think it is a snipe, at the Village Creek Drying Beds in Arlington, Texas



The chipping sparrows and bluebirds are all over my backyard.

Stephen, Glad you are getting in a little bird shooting! That looks like a Snipe to me too. But, the only time I ever saw one, it was hiding in a bunch of underbrush. Scared some kid with a burlap bag was going to catch it I guess. :O)

The sparrow is so cute and I love those bluebird photos, especially the background on 5 and 6.

Regards,
Patti

It's a Wilson's Snipe. I just saw one a few weeks ago at BBSP. Nice photos!

Wait a minute. Snipes really exist? In all the snipe hunts I ever went on, I never saw even one!
