I love watching birds – all kinds of birds. Most of the time I’m looking for color and the right lighting to capture all of the beauty God has made in these interesting characters. These are pictures of some birds fighting over food and then a little sharing by the sparrows.

The picture of the goldfinches made me laugh because I just assumed since they are cute that they were always passive and sweet.  Apparently they can be territorial as well.

As I was watching the Red-Bellied Woodpecker and European Starling they started pecking each other. It became apparent, however, that the woodpecker owns the suet feeder and the starling waited until he was done before helping himself to the feeder.

I’m amazed every day at the complexity and beauty of all that God has created and find myself constantly in a state of awe.
