I got a scope and have been rediscovering common birds lately.
Although this shot required no scope... I didn't even crop the frame!
The eyes! The eyes!
I've also been trying to memorize common bird calls so I don't waste time bushwacking for 20 minutes to pursue a Wilson's Warbler or Yellow rump!
So far I have Wrentit, Orange-crown Warbler, Waxwing, Oak Titmouse, Northern Flicker, House Finch, Mockingbird, Scrub Jay, and Stellar Jay down, and maybe a few others that are kinda hard to not get like Acorn Woody and Nuttal's woody, doves, etc.

This is why I like to look with my bino's first and then try to get a photo.
Correct me if I am wrong but these are least sandpiper's. Note the yellow legs.

Yes John, the Canon SX50 HS.
Those Hummers were so preoccupied with their battle that I was virtually invisible. Our wintering Allen's thought he had the yard to himself. He forgot that for the rest of the year he is just one of many.
It was totally chaotic. They were landing 3 feet from me. They even brushed against me a couple times in the heat of battle.
