My 2012 Great Backyard Bird Count Results

I knew that I was going to have a less than super-duper bird count due to the warm temps. I did enjoy seeing my usual visitors.  Here are the pictorial highlights...

This was my mystery birds...well not really. I "thought they were Cedar Waxwings but wasn't sure until I uploaded the close-up pictures on my laptop. 

Here's the proof !
Not the best photo but a great addition to my Bird Count!

I LOVE BIRD WATCHING!

Wishing Peace,Health, Wealth and Love to ALL!

  10. Good for you -- we had cedar waxwings in our yard one magical day (our other life) and I've seen them a couple of times since then in different places. My favorite of all, and I love all your pictures.

  11. The camera is great for bird ID. Lots of the far away ones would be unknown if it weren't for a zoom lens.

    1. Congrats on the job! I like how you said "temporarily over".
      My birding time has been drastically reduced due to work as well. Bummer...but it is temporary.:)
