Birds often amaze me up. When a flock of geese or even sparrows, suddenly take off all at the same time, I smile and wonder just how they do it. Watching a finch dig for seeds in a late summer flower can produce an acrobatic show that brings more than a smile.
But when a bird stares at me, I have to wonder, "What is he thinking?" When I am shooting a bird, I try to get a shot of it looking directly at me. Generally it happens after the first image is taken. But sometimes the critter ignores me.
Below, are those birds who didn't ignore me. I hope these shots bring a smile to you also.

Wow, this is a fabulous series...an all are looking at you!

Nice little birdies...want play?
Love all these, but expecially the owlets.
Not one of them appears to be camera shy. Nice photos!
Most are on the first shot? Wow.. most of my photos end up being trashed because they're pictures of something that was "just there a second ago." ;)
Yep, it's a special feeling being eye to eye with these creatures.
Thanks for putting all these pics together for us.
Oh wow those are really great shots. And yeap they do make you smile. Love the pics with the owl in it.
Very nice photos. Great Shots!
You know your birds, that's for sure!
I played too :)
just exactly how to you get them to look at the camera and pose for you?? I can't even get our pets to sit still for me:)
I love how the yellow one kind of cocks it's head, like it's trying to figure you out.
Great shots! But you were ignored by one! Not because of that, but the photo of the owl chicks really made me smile.
;-)

Great photos. I loved seeing all the different kinds of birds. My Nannies trees are always filled with green finches, and I'm going to try and get some shots of them the next time I'm over there.
