Thanks emorphien for these shots.

Got a teleconverter finally.  Ready to come back for more!

yeah.  we need to get the blue jay, cardinal and the orioles.

emorphien, what we thought were orioles may in fact be Red-winged Blackbirds.

can anyone confirm this ID?

Yep, looks like a red-winged black bird to me.

holy jeez!  how'd be get them mixed up?!

I think i just said "yeah" because you guys thought it was an oriole and I couldn't remember.  Which isn't much better than just plain not knowing :p   

somethign new showed up today.  house finches, with the red head and chest.

i'd thought the female was a sparrow until it looked it up.  pretty cool.  they were feasting off the thistle seed feeder..... funny that i've never seen thim before.  been using the same bag of seed for like 2 months now.
