Well, that’s unfortunate. Somebody just dropped some pretty low rates on these..

I don't get it - I gave them 5 stars, and my view shows 5 stars for each.

You gave them fives, thanks! 
 

EBIRD shows the average rating, before a fourth person rated it, it showed the average of three stars, which means that since you gave it a five, somebody else either gave it a four and somebody else gave it something really low for those photos, like a two. The fourth person gave it a five, bumping it back up to a five star average.

Another favorite from my cross country drive.  I saw this Elegant Trogon in Cave Creek Canyon in southeast Arizona on May 3.  Some people had seen a pair near the South Fork trailhead, but I wasn't so lucky.  I only got my picture after 4 miles of hiking.  Then again, it was a great day for hiking, so maybe I was the lucky one!

This girl says "Male red-wings get all the attention. I'm beautiful too!!!"

This particular lady was originally on a reed further away, noticed I was taking photos, and literally flew up to this post much closer to me and posed. I told her thank you.

Best views ever of Black-headed grosbeaks the other day! They're a lot more shy compared to the evening grosbeaks.

Second day in a row with not too many pictures.  I've decided to spread the love around and share this Northern Cardinal:

Definitely one of my favourite trees that we have!
Most birds land on it before going into the pond or the feeder. I really should sit and wait by it with my camera more often.
