Bird Photos - May 22 2012

Harder to see the birds now that the trees and brush are in full leaf, we can hear lots of birds but don't see to many, and most sightings are to brief to identify the birds.
Camera lens started to act up when I was trying to get pictures of a number of different birds flying in and out of a dead tree in the river. The lens started to make a very disturbing grinding noise and all the pictures taken while it was doing this were very blurry. Only did it for a few minutes and it has been fine since. Thankfully it has about 4 years left of the 6 year warranty.
