Although these images are of mediocre quality, the subject matter is still terrific. What's better than trees, a river, a blue sky with puffy clouds and feathered friends stopping by as they search for bugs? Typically when I'm seated so close (approximately six feet) most birds stay higher overhead or further up the trunk but on this occasion I heard them arrive, looked up, reached slowly for the phone and was able to photograph them without interrupting their hunt. Of course, I had to use the 'zoom' function on the camera which creates some distortion; however, I was thrilled to capture both of them in the same scene and still have a decent image. And, just in case you wanted to know, the bird on the left is a nuthatch while that on the right is a woodpecker.
"A bird does not sing because it has an answer,
it sings because it has a song."
