From Tanagers to Bluebirds

Summer Tanager

Eastern Bluebird

We migrated back from FL to NH, just like the birds are doing. Summer Tanagers were flooding into FL on migration. Eastern Bluebirds have a nest with eggs already, here in NH. These photos were taken with my new little Canon SX 40 HS camera, which I am still learning about and has a lot of potential. It's nowhere near as good at my Canon 1D Mark IV, but then it shouldn't be, given the price difference (about $400 for the SX 40 vs. about $5000 for the Mark IV). Bluebird photo taken at 800 ISO.
