Here you go Dave, a few more birds, but not from my back yard.
Cormorant on the Cape Cod Canal. Gorgeous, if a bit windy summer evening on the canal.
Had to crop these two quite a bit, but I have a heron and an osprey for you too.

Beautifull. Birds are so magnificent whether they are as tiny as a humming bird or as tall as a heron. Aren't they amazing creatures, because we see them everyday we hardly ever stop to think about how they do what they do or how they survive in their environment.

It's going to be 90 here tomorrow; I'm sure I'll see some similar sights but we make them use tree branches. No lounge chairs here.

Finally put out a hummingbird feeder......
Looks like we have one dominant hummingbird, that keeps pushing other hummingbirds away from the feeder.
Guess he/she has laid claim to our feeder.
One of these days I'll get a pic or two!

Birds photos are awesome! I had a hummingbird come right up to me watering flowers. Drink from hose's water stream. No. I didn't just smoke some funny herbs!

I put a feeder on the side of the house, just because. The neighbor has an old pine tree that really needs to come down. Thankfully, it's leaning his way. 
However, I didn't realize what a safe haven it is for the birds. They fly in and grab some food and fly back into the tree. In 10 minutes this afternoon I saw three chickadees, a titmouse, male and female goldfinch, house finch, white breasted nut hatch and a sparrow, along with three mourning doves, and a squirrel. I don't usually see that much activity in the back yard, even though the feeders are near the tall evergreens which also provide shelter for the birds.
I tried to get a few shots, but could not get a decent one through the window, and the birds were much faster than I am....
