Bird photography can be a challenge! Most birds are nervous of humans so you need to have a long lens and a lot of patience to capture a good image. Here are some of my early attempts, long before I bought my “bazooka” zoom lens. I took a few of these images near my back yard feeders while others were taken at nearby parks and beaches. I hope you enjoy them.
