This page is to display some pictures I have taken of birds. The camera I am using cost me a grand. It is a Mavica MVC-CD1000 digital 2.1 Mega pixel with a CD drive in it. It is great. The media is cheap and the camera doubles as an external hard drive for transporting any files or pictures back and forth. It has an awesome zoom capability with 10x optical and 20x digital. Only thing I do not like about digital is the delay when shooting. You can really miss some good shots. Forget about action shots!
Since I was a child, my Grandmother and Aunt taught me to love birds, to watch them, and appreciate the finer things in nature. I wish Grandmother could have been here with us longer to see me now. My aunt still loves nature and lives in Tennessee. The following pictures were taken at my sisters house in Bessemer Alabama around Thanksgiving 2002. Enjoy.
