David, Nice to see you are getting photos of the birds in your area. I look forward to seeing many more. It's always nice to get a look at Red-shouldered Hawk. One of my favorites.

Took the pic through our window a few days ago. A crowd of 100+ Grackles dropped in for lunch the other day. Those pics were also taken through our window. Roger, now I know why you didn't want to shoot through our windows before. Don, thanks for the advice on the Nikon-good choice for a beginner like me. I'm really enjoying learning how to use it. Today, we have a lot of ponding in the creek bottoms from all the rain. Robins and Starlings are everywhere and a Great-blue Heron , Crows & the Red-shouldered are hunting there. DaveR/Breaks
