Birds in the Backyard
photographed in the same yard (except for the vultures and hummingbirds, all those
pictured here were enjoying eating the tiny berries on a couple trees), Nov. 24 & 25, 2010 in Lafayette, CA
(Contra Costa County - Northern CA)
My philosophy is to show different angles of the same bird(s)....they are
tough to identify!
