Birds from across the bounds of my backyard
In 2019, I took an introductory photography class. I often focused on birds as my subject. I would spread out seed on my patio, sit on the floor in front of the kitchen window, and wait for the birds to show up. I used a Canon Rebel with a zoom lens to capture these. I would like to get back into nature photography someday. I will add more to this page if I do!
