Wow! Great shots!

Linth, great shots all but those Eastern Phoebe shots are about the best I've ever seen of that bird. The second one is my favorite. In fact, I was looking through and voting on pics in the NWF photo contest and might have voted for an excellent pic of a phoebe except that I thought to myself "Linthicum's is better."

Nanny, cool flycatcher. Did you figure out which one it is? Those pretty little ones are hard to figure out -- OK, maybe that's just me!

Red, too cool! Love the rufous!

Burn, nice ones! Really jealous of the pine siskin. Hopin' some will come my way some day.

Wasn't going to post any pics, but what the hey? Been tryin' to get a pic of this pretty little House Sparrow. You would think house sparrows would be easy to photograph and they are if you don't care which one you photograph. Turns out they are faster and more challenging than you would think. The backside of this bird is really pretty but haven't gotten a good shot of it yet. Here's the side view.
