Getting a new year started. I originally started this for my birds life list. I have been sidetracked by life. It happens that way. I am enjoying my birding because I'm not out trying to find new life birds. I'm just enjoying being out in the fresh air.  I am trying to fill in photos of some birds on my existing life list that I am missing. Some are not the best photos but I will get better shots.

1. Pacific Wren
     I have seen the Pacific Wren many times but it is such a fast moving bird it's hard to get a good photo. I was able to snap a couple last week that were usable.

 

2. Eurasian Wigeon 

 This is a bird I had a hard time hunting down.  We have had one male at Amberglen Park and Dawson Creek. Was able to get some pretty good shots.

3. Chestnut-backed Chickadee

I have had a few shots but horrible ones. I was able to get some shots at the feeders at Jackson Bottom. They seem to be a little tamer there.

4.  Lincoln's Sparrow

Recently got a couple shots.

5. White-throated Sparrow

 6. Mew Gull

7. Steller's Jay

These are some of my missing photos.
