14th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Backyard Birds

I like to find precious moments in my busy life to sit and watch them, usually after the kids are at school. I prefer keeping the feeder full so it attracts birds that bring their song, at time my back yards sounds like what I imagine a rain forest might. They easily go through a entire serving in one morning. Sometimes I just sip my coffee, sometimes I bring my phone and scroll social media, occasionally I bring my camera and catch them, their friends, the cat or a squirrel.
