There is a Chinese saying describing a made up and well dressed woman "All dressed up beautifully like a bird". I never questioned or paid much attention to this saying until I started taking pictures of birds several years ago. I now realize that birds are truly beautiful and no matter how hard we humans try, we just cannot compete with them.

Here is a collection of these beauties I saw through my lenses. I hope you will enjoy viewing, revisit and maybe leave a comment.

Thank you.

P.S. Below are the 3 most popular photos of my collection to date:
Golden-crowned Kinglet (female)
Short-eared Owl
Red-tailed Hawk
