I got lucky taking this pic... she landed about 20 feet from me while I was standing in the yard with the camera!

Gorgeous! We used to have them nesting here every year - and they'd come to the feeders constantly. I guess the habitat got just enough different for them to stop coming - rarely see them here now, and I miss them. Just the natural growth of the shrubs along the woodland edge can be enough to cause a change in what comes in.

Great pic Peg!! You sure get some good shots!
I'm thinking I'm going to have to pick up a field guide for North American Birds. I havn't even heard of half the birds you guys are posting pics of!
