Caught this one just after a food delivery. It wasn't real sure about me but figured I was a bit big to chase off. The pair broke up a bluebird nest then moved into this house after that. Some times not great at shareing, need to make a trip to kindergarden.

Some great detail in the eye and neck area! I like how the paint chips on the birdhouse help break up the right side of this shot. Very nice Kendall.

Great shot. These little guys move so fast it's hards to get any decent shots. I like watching them bring in sticks for their nest.

Nice catch. Same thing is happening around here. I currently have 3 wens that have taken over bluebird or swallow nests.

Nice detail in the head and eyes. Agree about the texture of the paint. Good shot.
