The Carolina Wrens look like they are doing a dance, maybe an audition for America's Got Talent. <br /><br />Sorry to hear someone is taking your photos. I have found many of my photos on Google Images. Some folks don't understand that the images there are not free to use and are copyright protected even though Google states it very plainly.SquirrelQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00634513897599275287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-7442326307740002752011-08-09T22:06:30.700-05:002011-08-09T22:06:30.700-05:00I agree that it's been a banner year for the h...I agree that it's been a banner year for the hummers!

I'm...Betsy you know I love your bird visitors!<br /><br />I'm so sorry to hear your photos are being stolen! How did you find out? I think you will have to make your watermark much larger and pplace it over the middle of your photo if you don't want that to happen again. It's so sad when this happens. :(Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-1729695107092286002011-08-09T20:44:51.517-05:002011-08-09T20:44:51.517-05:00Your birds are always beautiful.

My cardinals...well, one has been looking really rough for a long time but one looks quite handsome.<br /><br />And I think I could have a bunch of hummingbirds, because I see them quite often but am afraid I would live to regret it with one of my cats...she is a hunter and will go to great lengths to get what she wants.<br /><br />Also, how did you find that someone was using the photos as their own? I have heard there is a way to find them, but don't remember how.
