They are fantastic shots, Thorn; very impressed!! I recognize the starling. The other 2, we don't have here. The bottom one, is that the one also known as 'butter butt'?

Thorn, your pictures are so great. I've been sick and have been looking out the window seeing the same birds as always. ![[Linked Image]](https://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL145/2152270/21313142/354932815.jpg) when I opened the window I thought I heard a woodpecker but it was this blue jay working over a pecan. ![[Linked Image]](https://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL145/2152270/21313142/354932804.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL145/2152270/21313142/354932759.jpg)

I haven't taken any bird shots for a while, Sheri. Think I'm gonna need a better camera!
