Bird watching is a favorite hobby of mine, as well as photographing the birds. I have a feeder on my deck and the birds can easily be seen from indoors. Most of my photos of the birds at the feeder are taken from inside, behind the patio doors.
The birds are easily sacred away, so I have found this to be the easiest way to photograph. Maybe not the best photos but during the winter, it is too cold to stand out on the deck with the tripod. I will do that in the spring and summer to photograph the hummingbirds and bluebirds.
A member has asked that I share more bird photos. I was honored to do that as I have tons on my computer. Most birds enjoy the sunflower seeds and whole peanuts I put in the feeder.
This photo is of a white dove that rarely visits. I have mourning doves but these are rare at my feeder. After researching they are called Eurasian collared doves. They are stunning to see up close.

I think I see more in the front. The other day I had a bluebird in the tree outside the window. It was so nice to see.

Well, I declare! I don't know what happened to my comment on this. Maybe I didn't tap on "comment". But the photo is beautiful, you're very artistic!

Awesome photo! I hear the Doves but I have not seen them. I have noticed birds I have never seen this past week.

Our garden is so designed to attract birds. We have several fruit trees and a birdbath. There is never a day I do not see them. It is now time for cuckoos. We have a Noni tree and they love this fruit

I see doves a lot--mostly mourning doves. They have nested in our front and back yards in years past.
