Birds

264 images Created 3 Mar 2013

I am fortunate to live in an area that has a lot of birds and many recovering populations.

Many of the images in this gallery are taken around our home which has several feeders. We also have the benefit of Duke Farms and the D & R Canal State Park to provide subjects.
