Flock of Newbies

I photographed a few birds that I’m familiar with while at Lake Greenwood, South Carolina (as my last post of the Great Blue Heron); but I also photographed several newbies.  Most are land birds as I call them.  Living around tidal waters, I don’t see too many land birds.

It’s exciting to share these.  What a challenge they are, I love it!  I have also found a new respect for those of you who photograph land birds.  🙂  They are small, they are flighty, they are fast.  And they can be very hard to identify since I’m still learning.  So PLEASE, if I’ve identified one incorrectly, let me know!  I am here to learn as well as share.

Because they are newbies, some of the photos just may not be so great.  Just another challenge for me to replace them some day with a better capture.  🙂
