Some random photos from my recent birding

Black-capped Chickadee - photographed from my make-shift backyard bird blind.
Lesser Goldfinch lookin' pretty in the evening light
Downy Woodpecker - male - doing what woodpeckers do best
Seeing my life Pine Grosbeak during our recent family campout - my Annie by my side and Kyle in the background - Photo by my lovely bride, Jessica.
Swainson's Hawk framed by power lines.  This particular Swainson's Hawk has spent the summer with me...always somewhere near my patch.  Occasionally a dark morph will be around too.
