Other than the Raven, the only one of these I've ever seen before is the Roadrunner, and that was from a train window in Mexico. <br /><br />Yep. a P&S sounds like a good backup tool. The camera on a phone just doesn't cut it for bird photography! Useful for recording site information though.Richard Peglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115206853645323899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-31375730160963875622013-04-18T08:21:13.649-07:002013-04-18T08:21:13.649-07:00The pic number 3...Ilove the color(the bird)great ...The pic number 3...Ilove the color(the bird)great shots...Magic Momentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16026081132636706421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-62774908891082258022013-04-18T02:20:28.237-07:002013-04-18T02:20:28.237-07:00Great post Chris with some lovely photos :) Wonder...Great post Chris with some lovely photos :) Wonderful to hear of your bird sightings at work - had to smile at the "security" incidence. I've been trying to get a peregrine falcon sighting on a large building where I know they nest but it is so embarrassing sitting in a car in a car park with binoculars trained on the back of an office block :) I live in dire dread of security turning up!!<br /><br />One of the things I love about birding is that you can watch birds anywhere - even city centres have some species :)Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-73447183748188823172013-04-17T21:32:27.184-07:002013-04-17T21:32:27.184-07:00Spanish:) Sometimes when I get frustrated at it a...Spanish:) Sometimes when I get frustrated at it all, I just step back and look at the big picture....and realize, I do have a great job that is supportive of my creativity.

Shooting is not my fault but my camera's! It doesn't mean i don't watch them because they use a lot of my time. Underneath my 5th floor window is a tree and a few birds always visit, of course the common small ones are there too. But you are privileged to do what you want in the same setting! What do you teach, by the way?Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-3268515221146780662013-04-17T20:34:14.317-07:002013-04-17T20:34:14.317-07:00Great shots Chris.

You have a great variety at your school. I did notice that one of your photos is mis-named, Canyon Wren is actually a Canyon Towhee.
