We see a number of birds in our neighborhood, and now that I've got a digital camera it's much easier to take pictures and get them posted.  This list will grow as more of our avian friends fall into my photographic clutches.

  We have a parrot in the neighborhood.  Some call him/her "Wilson."  Others just use "The Parrot."  Apparently he/she had a mate years ago, long before we moved here. 

  Our neighbors Robert and Lyn put out peanuts for him/her, which are greatly loved.  We also put out peanuts, but are scorned.  At least our newly-roofed garage is attractive, which is how I was able to get so close to him/her.

  We've seen this bird-of-prey in the tops of the trees before, but this is the first time I was able to get the camera and take some shots.

  Our ash tree is being favored here.  We've been told it's either a juvenile red-tailed hawk or red-shouldered hawk.  Its young age means the coloring hasn't come in completely yet, leading to the uncertainty.
