Birds on the Farm

These photos were taken by Steve Lospalluto on our farm in the Skagit Valley in northwest Washington. Most were taken through a spotting scope with a hand held digital camera. Nothing spectacular but we hope you enjoy a look at the birds that live or visit our small organic farm. Click on each thumbnail to see a larger image. Please do not copy or reproduce these images without permission and do not "hotlink" to these images! Thanks. Check out a separate photo gallery of a Rufous Hummingbird nesting on our farm.
