I think that you are not an amateur, what splendid photography!!!! My yard is being visited by a red headed woodpecker and it is absolutely beautiful. I just retired and it is time to get out my camera. I could only aspire to take pics as beautiful as yours.

These are incredible! The Chipping sparrow in particular--I just love it.

Beautiful gallery, I love the Merganser with the crayfish. Amazing captures! I can't say enough about these images. They are wonderful.

Hi Tom, I have enjoyed looking at your great bird pictures. Wish I had some to donate but yours are way out of my league. I will pass on the location to some of my bird watching friends.
