A bit of bird watching...of sorts....

When I got home today...i looked up and saw this hummingbird sitting on the old tv antenna...I used the zoom feature on my camera and took a couple shots of him...
pretty neat considering how far away I was...
This cardinal was sitting on the back fence waiting for a turn at the feeder...
I love our resident mocking birds or "mockers" as we call them...He was on the same tv antenna as the hummer...
If you look closely you can see the redheaded woodpecker on the top of this power pole across the road...he was just hammering away...I heard him...so I zoomed in on him as best I could...
I almost missed the redwinged blackbird...He lit and then flew almost as quickly...I snapped the shot anyway...its the only time you can see the red wing bars they display...I saw a few other birds at the feeder this evening...a chickadee, my favorite and an indigo bunting...but did not get photos of them...they were too fast for me...
