I guess I\u2019ve hung out with them for too many years. Like a cat, I stalk birds. But while a cat might want to feel the little bird between her paws and even make a meal of the bird, I stalk them for the privilege of capturing their image. I photograph birds. I even have a facebook page where I post bird photos.<\/p>\n<p>I started this when I began noticing how many hummingbirds we had flitting around the feeder outside my office window. I bought a zoom lens and became obsessed with photographing them. Now I will stalk almost any kind of bird. In particular I love the Western bluebirds. I enjoy trying to capture great shots of the bald eagle pair around their nest at a nearby lake and I know where a family of great horned owls nested last season. Sure hope they return this year. They\u2019re really fun to photograph.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to see some of my bird pictures, visit my personal facebook page <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/patriciafry165\">http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/patriciafry165<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Klepto Cat Mysteries<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your interest in book 20 of the Klepto Cat Mystery series.
