Here are some birds and butterflies I\u2019ve glassed this month. (Bird activity afield is slow in August, so this month is about hummers and butterflies in my backyard.)<\/em> I\u2019ve taken so many of the more common birds around here I probably won\u2019t post many of them. You can check out my galleries and other months to see them. I\u2019m going to try and focus on some of the not so common birds around me. Unless I get totally bored and need something to glass!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you haven\u2019t followed my bird journey the past few years, I\u2019ve taken over 2,500 bird portraits of 90+ species. Many of them in my back yard and all within 15 miles of my home. And, over 95% of them are songbirds\/passerines. I do have a few raptors, owls, and shorebirds. But it\u2019s songbirds I really love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
