My bird collection--mostly taken along riverway near D line

这两张是今年春天拍的，查了半天，觉得最象的是“gray catbird”，后来就一直没看到过，不知是不是春天才有。

这张是juvenile starling，颜色和成鸟不一样，体型倒和成鸟差不多。那时看到它在追着大鸟讨吃的，大鸟实在烦了就喂它一口，觉得很稀奇，怎么这么大的鸟还不会自己找吃的。这种情景在春天很常见。可惜技术太差，没拍到大鸟喂小鸟的镜头。

也是robin。

这是Downy Woodpecker，头上应有一撮红毛，可惜角度不对，没拍到。

另一个：

这叫black-capped chickadee，象不象戴了个黑帽子？这种鸟很灵活会动，在一个地方从不会停留很长，抓拍有一定难度，我又用了一个400mm+1。5X的，有时就是知道它在我前面，从400mm的镜头里就是看不到它在那儿，好容易看到了，它又飞掉了。由此失去很多机会，可能100-400mm的变焦拍鸟会好一点。

另外一张：

这是另外一种鸟，叫tufted titmouse，头上一撮毛翘起来是他的特徵，也是一个会飞的主。

另外一张：可惜头在阴影里--

这只鸟一开始以为也是啄木鸟，但仔细看看它的嘴巴更细长，跟啄木鸟不一样，查了一下才知是叫“brown creeper”，生活习性跟啄木鸟差不多，也是爬树干的。

另一张。

这张看上去和麻雀很象，其实叫“goldfinch”，冬天颜色有些dull，春天时雌鸟还是这样，雄鸟颜色会变得明黄，究竟是不是，让我们等到春天再说吧：)

另一张，注意它黑羽毛上的白色条纹。

这个叫Northern Mockingbird，中文知更鸟。

另外就是那只鹰了。

再来一张100%crop的特写，crop后sharpen过。

不知riverway那里还有没有其它鸟儿我没拍到或没见过的，大伙可以试试。[/img]

I also have some birds that I caught around Riverway. The quality of these pics are not very good, some of which were shot through windows, or heavliy cropped. But a few more spieces might be added to the Riverway bird collections.

Downy Woodpecker, now you should see the red feather on the head.

black-capped chickadee. It is very small endeed. This is actually 100% crop.

Then what are these two birds?

Neither of them is bigger than sparrow in size.

The first one looks like a white-breasted Nuthatch, the second one may be a carolina wren. Correct me if I am wrong. Great. Then we have two more birds to the riverway collection.

Thanks for the information.
I actually saw two beautiful birds in my backyard. One is pure red and the other is pure blue. I took some pics of them but all of which are not clear.
Hopefully one day we can catch them.

If the birds you saw are moderately big, maybe the red one is the red cardinal and the blue one is blue jay? If it is small, maybe the blue one is a bluebird, just a guess. smile

I also saw a pair of red cardinals yesterday. But they were in somebody's backyard and my 200mm lens is way too short. frustrated

I finally figured out why there are not many birds around my home - there is simply no food for them.

You think I haul it around while I am at leisure time?
