MY WINGED FRIENDS

I like to call these my backyard birds, but they are really creatures of the Earth. I live in a country that lies between Costa Rica and Colombia, and some of these birds are residents while others are migrants. As you know, bird photography can be difficult, and now after my vision loss my wife takes the photos and we edit them together on big screen television. I have loved birds ever since my grandmother took me out on a snowy day in the backyard to feed them. I hope you enjoy this presentation.
