Backyard Habitat

I've been enjoying my back yard during this beautiful weather.  Although I don't have the best lens for stop action photography, I have been attempting to capture the action around my thistle feeder.  I hope that you appreciate the composition of the images, noting especially the shapes, spacial relationships, colors, etc.  The birds are endlessly fascinating.  OK, there are a few other critters thrown in just for fun. You can view the entire set on my Flickr page here

Note the crest on the young chick!

I love the expression on the face of the dove in the tree!
