Our Wild Bird Pictures
Northeastern Washington State by the Columbia River

Our Backyard Wild Bird Pictures There are times that I think our fine feathered friends know exactly what I'm doing and they are willing to do their best to impress you and us. I'm speaking of the swallows of course. They are most fun to take pictures of and when they get on a roll, they are beautiful to watch doing their aerobatics. The hardest to photograph is the pileated woodpecker, one movement and they are gone. Presently I'm using a Minolta DiMage 7, 5.2 mega pixels camera, in preset highspeed and manual focus. The auto focus takes to long to focus. I have hundreds of wild bird pictures I have yet to add to this webpage and hopefully I'll get them up this winter. It's time consuming to fine tune the colors, brightness, and crop them to fit on this webpage, making two sizes, thumbnail and enlarged. The real problem to maintaining clarity is that jpg pictures degrade each time your mess with them, so I convert them to psd to work on the picture then convert the finished picture back to jpg and reduce there total pixels to work on the web. Lots of fun. We thought you might enjoy some our wild bird pictures. Most of our bird watching, bird sightings and backyard bird pictures are taken along the Columbia River north of Kettle Falls in Northeastern Washington. We also do most of our bird watching and taking pictures from our back and front deck, and walks along the Columbia River. We hope you enjoy our backyard wild bird pictures and occasionally our very big birds, or want-a-be birds. One last note: Sorry, some of the pictures are a little fussy, things change fast with these birds. I'm not a professional photographer! I get one good shot out of a hundred and one excellent shot out of 1,000. However, some of these poor shots, I felt, were to good to pass up, Jack.

	What are you doing, drinking out of our bath water when the river is just over there?		Who's first?
	I can see the seeds, how do I get to them?		We heard the Bobwhite so I called back and he spent the entire summer with us. He let me get within a few feet of him. Sorry, Bob or Bobbie, I couldn't tell.
	Patience grasshopper, I mean, you kids be patience, I've only got one grasshopper.		Shall we kick them out of the nest, I'm tired.
	OK guys, where are you.		Am I cleared to land?
	Who says mourning doves don't use bird feeders?		Mourning Doves at breakfast covey, that's more like it.
	Dinner, almost!		Come on mousey, mousey, I'm waiting.
	Come on fishy, fishy, I'm watching, show me what you got.		Hey, leave me alone, Can't you see I'm trying to fish.
	Wow, this is cool, better than that nest and fighting for my portion of dinner. By the way, where is mom?		I hate it when they run out of bird seed.
	So that's how the humans live, poor ground dwellers, they'll never know.		This is much better, look at that view.
	Watch out! Give me some room to land.		Let's pretend we're looking for seeds from the feeder above, then ..... Then what! Leave my friends alone.
	Barn swallow large wings in a gentle left turn.		Barn swallow in never 90 degree left bank cutting through the trees.
	I'm cute and a little fuzzball.		I can't believe the kids think they can fly, oh well, back to the lessons.
	Tree swallow in a easy glide.		Tree swallow in gull wing glide.
	Tree swallow in a beautiful 90 degree right bank.		Tree swallow in a drooping wing configuration.
	Tree swallow fighter level sweptback wings, approaching the sound barrier.		Tree swallow climbing out.
	Tree swallow, putting on the air brakes.		Tree swallow, nice set on the wings.
	Tree swallow, making a 90 degree turn in front of the camera. I wonder?		Tree swallow hovering. Playing helicopter?
	Tree swallow in a left turn.		Tree swallow in slow flight, wings straight out.
	Is this the way to fly faster like a falcon?		Close. Just tighten up a little more like this.
	Tree swallow in a left climbing turn.		Another tree swallow in slow flight, wings straight out.
	Three swallow fighters take on a hawk bomber.		Two hawks put on inverted airshow.
	Swallows in a duel or ?.		Turkeys in a duel. Could not figure which head was in the other beak, they stayed this way for 10 minutes, then I did the no-no and interfered.
	Snow birds stop by for a break during a snow storm to discuss what to do next.		Nuthatch nestling working on the courage to become a fledgling.
	My favorite bass drummer.		This little squirrel decided to spend the winter in this bird house. The other wan-a-be bird was a chipmunk that had a month long test of wills with a nuthatch, changing bedding daily, with many poignant discussions about ownership of the birdhouse.
	Little bird, in top of tree, getting pointers from big bird.		This is our largest sighting to date. Could not find in our bird reference books, however, we did locate it in the forest fire bomber book. This PBY Bomber had just taken on water out of the Colombia River (Lake Roosevelt) to drop on a wild fire across the river from us. It was only about 100' above us when it flew over the house, exciting, even for a seasoned pilot.
