While birding, I'm sure we've all come across a tree or bush with a couple species in it.  Or seen several different species on one lawn.  I think it'd be cool if members osted interesting combo photos.

 

I had one photo somewhere of a puddle in a dirt parking lot..... bird bathing or eating grit included Cedar Waxwing, Barn and Tree Swallows, Goldfinches, Cardinal, Chipping sparrow and a fee Blue jays.

 

 

I took the photo below on May 31st of this year, at the McKinnley Reserve in Stratford, Connecticut (locally known as Great Meadow Marsh).  Its not a very good photo, but nonetheless it was cool to see these paired up.  I only wish I waited a few minutes because a fitz-beewing Willow FC laned just behind them, which would have been in the frame too.

Life List: 139
Latest: Cedar Waxwing!!!!!!!

Both those would be lifers for me!

 

Here is another one I found, taken this spring in CT.  2 male Indigo buntings, and a few White-throat and White-crowned sparrows.  This was as close as I could get without them flying into the trees.  And me doing a bit of cropping/light sharpening didn't help with photo quality..... you can tell what they are at least =)

A not-so-great photo taken on a very bright sunny day. Two Great Blue Herons and a Swainson's Hawk were sharing something they were finding in a field in Colusia Co., Calif.
