I'm fully invested in bird watching now, and I still don't care about misidentifying them on social media.

Background
As COVID-19 continues to keep museums and historical sites closed or difficult to visit, I have spent more and more time in the woods and coastlines taking pictures of birds. I've become so committed to my new hobby I purchased my own Canon PowerShot SX70 HS camera with a 65X zoom. For this latest update, I've included my favorite bird pictures over the past two months.

Conclusions
As mentioned above, I really enjoy my new hobby of birdwatching and bird photography. Depending on my mood, I can walk kilometers along a coastline or sit down and let the birds come to me. I'm constantly updating the main pages, so check out the "animals" tab to see all the new birds I've mis-identified.

Beautiful shots of the birds. My favorite are the Swans... however the little Bull-headed strike is awfully cute 😍 What a wonderful outdoor hobby and so glad you are sharing the Beauty.
