I'd just like to say that I am very jealous of all those that have already gotten so many shots! I've been working all day and happened to see a warbler outside the office window and realized that I don't have my camera.. I attempted an iPhone picture, but it didn't work very well..


We have several hawks nesting in the high rises office buildings near by and my 7th floor office faces right at them. Alas I work in a "no cameras allowed" company, so I am happy to see them but sad that I never get to photograph them.

I had a great time birding yesterday with my 10 year old.
He took all these bird shots I'm so proud.

We should have like a bonus bird for each region.
I don't know much about birds out of the U.S. so we'll need some help with that.
But just for some examples.
West coast (Grebe)
East coast (Harlequin)
Southeast (Painted bunting)
Northeast (Indigo bunting)
South (Caracara)
West (Western Tanager)
Rockies (For Hahn)(Canada warbler)
North (Any Grouse)
South (Scrub jay)
We can add multiple birds in each region so we can have some easy ones and some difficult ones.
Just an idea. Let me know what you guys think.
