"Backyard Birds"
From our backyard, Vancouver, Washington

"Backyard Birds" is just as it says --- a collection of bird images taken around our backyard, located in Vancouver, Washington. I've seen many more birds other than these listed below (like the Varied Thrush and the Great Blue Heron), however this list just happens to be the list where I grabbed a camera and aimed it out the window.

This "Backyard Bird Photo List" was begun in March 2008, with images of birds found in the trees in our yard, or images of birds flying overhead. A "feeder" was added during the record-breaking snow of Christmas 2008. This "feeder" was a peanut-butter suet block and thistle sock. A finch seed block was added at the end of January. All three are hanging from PVC pipe.

PLEASE NOTE: most all of these images are taken through a double-pane plate-glass picture window heavily marked with bugs on the outside and smudged with doggie nose prints on the inside. For actual "decent" pictures of various birds, please click on "Ridgefield Image Index" above. Otherwise, enjoy this page for what it was meant to be.
