Thank you very much for posting these beautiful pictures. They are a joy to look at!

Wow! Fantastic photos - You've helped my 7 year old and I identify a couple visitors to our backyard bird feeder - now we feel so smart talking about our Eastern Phoebe! Heidi

beautiful collection.

I immensely enjoy your wonderful photographs and encourage my birding class to view them, also. The pictures are so skillfully done. Thanks very much for sharing them with everyone.

You are very good with that camera!! What an amazing gallery of bird photos, thanks for sharing and keep it up! Voted
Scott Cox 22-Dec-2008 00:23
Wow, beautiful photos!! I especially liked your first Worm-eating Warbler shot, your second male Hooded Merganser shot, and the Cedar Waxwing amongst fall colors shot! Thanks so much for sharing!

Beautiful gallery, excellent work! V

Fantastic photos, as always. Note that the Chestnut-backed Chickadee is not the local type, but the northern type with chestnut flanks as well. Maybe a migrant?
Karen Hoyt 26-Jul-2008 22:08
Awesome gallery

Amazing gallery, wonderful collection of beautiful birds. V.

Tom, I agree with your observations about red patches. In all of my files of Nuttall's chicks, every single one has the red patch, and I have serious doubt that 100% of all Nuttall's chicks are male. The only question is this: when does a female chick drop the red patch? (Bob Gross)

YOUR PHOTOS ARE GREAT! WHAT KIND OF CAMERA DO YOU USE?
Betty W. 06-Apr-2008 21:01
Checking your site on Sialia is one of highlights of my day. A former birder-
chaser I am now limited to own yard. However, your photos still take me
out in the field every day. Thank you

wonderful gallery. very sharp.

Tom, your gift is appreicated. A mysterious travelor joined today's quorum of jays and robins -- all balanced on twig tips, high in the upper most branches of our persimmon tree. Your beautiful pictures helped me identify the guest as a Cedar Waxwing. How serendipitous that you included the same fruit in your beautiful composition! The fruit we could not reach with our highest ladder is now bringing in a different harvest -- a feast for my curious eyes.

Awesome photos! Thanks so much for sharing them.

the portrait of the black oystercatchers and the elegant terns at Pillar Point was
an extraordinary composition and moment in time.

Your photos are spectacular. I was feeling down today and your pictures helped me to get through it. Please continue to take these beautiful pictures. They are so much better than the field guides and really help novices like me. Thanks again.

Enoyed looking over your galleries and visiting your personal website.

Tom- Thanks for your great great photos! I'm in awe at your ability to capture so many in such distinctive behavioral postures. If you're in need of a good shot of a Varied Thrush, I have one visiting my Cupertino backyard daily since 2/6!
Matt Latham 13-Feb-2007 20:45
Excellent gallery Tom
Mary and Dick Rorty 29-Dec-2006 00:59
Dear Tom,

Thanks very much for the gorgeous pictures. They are tremendously helpful to people like us trying to puzzle out, for instance, the difference between Common and Barrow's, or Eared and Horned.
Bob D. Kaufman 12-Dec-2006 02:43
Excellent photos..each one of them!
Dan 26-Nov-2006 02:04
