Default A few more from the backyard

Found some time this evening to relax and point the camera at some birds in the yard. A couple are firsts for me, the Golden & White Crowned Sparrows. That takes my backyard species list over 60, very cool IMO. Light was low so the shutter speeds are slow even with the ISO at 800 but you have to love IS when your handholding a big lens.

Stunning shots! I really like the White Crowned Sparrow shot because of the background. Very nice, something different. I just can't get over how sharp and detailed those shots are.
