Here's a femaled red-bellied woodpecker. The male would have more red on its head. We've only seen this female. 
This is a beautiful white-winged dove. We had 5 of them hanging around today and we'd never seen them before! I love seeing "new" birds! 
Here's a photo of one of the white-winged doves at the feeder. They're so much bigger than most of our other birds! 
And here is a Carolina Wren that has been faithfully visiting the past few weeks. He was going around our pool pecking under the rocks. I think he was looking for and possibly finding bugs. I guess I need to research what they eat, but he seems quite happy at our feeders.I hope to get more photos of birds tomorrow. And, we have a Nature Day on Friday. I can't wait to try my new camera and lens out then!

Oh wonderful! I can't wait to get my lens. I love my new camera but need that lens to get a better closeup picture of the birds.
Gosh your pool is pretty!.... The birds are pretty too! I just love the woodpecker. We've had a male one, just like yours, hanging around our feeders lately.
Have you ever seen this site?

It's pretty good. GB is after me to put up some more birdhouses, and I like the way this one helps you figure out which ones to put up and the best location for them.
I found your blog through a homeschool blog that I frequently visit. I just love the photos of the birds. We have mourning doves in our backyard every morning and my girls enjoy watching them. The little wren by your pool was a great photo. When my girls were studying birds, we never did find a wren, so it was nice letting them look at the photo that you had. It looks like you are really enjoying that new lens and camera. Keep up the great work.
Oh, I am jealous! What a great lens! How fun that you can actually take pictures of birds and be able to see them :-) Keep it up.
You have some beautiful nature pics on your blog. How inspiring!
