OK everyone, I am not a highly experienced bird photographer with loads of serious camera hardware (like my friend and colleague Doug Welch, who has photos that put these to shame). Most of the photos below were taken with an ordinary everyday 6 Mpx digital camera with some reasonable zoom capabilities, plus a tripod. Many are from our backyard.

American redstart, from the deck of our cottage on the
Bruce Peninsula. Getting this active little creature to
hold still was impossible, and this was the best-focussed
shot of many tries.
