The Ohio birds were out in force this morning. They greeted the sun with happy chirps and basked in its glory. They sang me a song as I walked the park near my house. I was able to spend some time with a few of these magnificent creatures. They were shy but allowed me to snap a few shots. They wouldn’t tell me much about themselves. Therefore, I am not quite sure in which family they belong. Perhaps you can help me identify them.

nice shots. small birds are particularly difficult to photograph as they’re not so camera-friendly. what equipment did you use on these?
Nikon d3100 with tameron 55mm-300mm lens.
Amazing shots! and such a gorgeous blue sky making me wish that the snow would stop here in England 🙂
I love snow too! 🙂

These little guys warm my heart! What excellent moments you’ve captured with them. I know from experience how tough it can be to catch nice photos of songbirds since they are so quick and often twitchy. Thanks for this uplifting post. I’m smiling!
Thanks Sheri

These shots make me happy! What lens dd you use?
Tameron- 55mm-300mm
Wonderful pictures, they brought a smile to my face. It is sometimes heart warming to hear the birds singing, even in winter. And, what a beautiful blue sky day.
I agree. The birds fluttering around and whistling while they word makes for a beautiful sound even in the winter. 🙂
I think my favorite photo subject after sunsets are birds and these are some really nice shots.
Thanks. Birds are fun to watch.
Cute … and pretty – I always problems to catch small birds … they will not wait until I get my camera out.
My picks be the top and bottom photo … I the last one is so cute.

I agree Nia. Thanks.

Great photos!
Thanks Saba
Love the blue sky, living in the Pacific Northwest we have been under the fog for almost two weeks. Come on spring!
Thanks. I love the Northwest!! Beautiful area.
We have been stuck in the fog the last week or so really odd weather.
Lovely pictures.
The white wing patches make me think that the first picture is of a northern mockingbird, and so are at least a few of the others.

I opt for birdy no 1 for the calendar. It differs from usual chosen stillness for winter months.
