Amanda's Backyard in Chester, VA

Standing in my backyard I took a bunch of pictures because we have alot of open land and consequently alot of birds.

- Turkey Vultures






























- Cedar Waxwing (dead... obviously... but I found it outside the window at my dad's office & was going to bring it in for lab, but decided to try and take a picture of it on the deck and walked inside to get my camera, then came back outside and it was gone... soooo one of our outdoor cats got a nice little snack, but the pictures are still pretty!)






























- Northern Cardinal
















- Chickens
~ 1st pic are Japanese Silky Bantum hens
~ 2nd pic is a Rhode Island Red dust bathing)






























- Dark-eyed Junco (Slate-colored)






























- White-throated Sparrow
















- Tree that has been completely covered in holes from a sapsucker

















I also heard alot of birds but either could not find them or they were too far away to photograph, including:

- Northern Bobwhite
- American Robin
- Tufted Titmouse
- European Starling
- American Crow
- Carolina Wren
