When we're out on our walks, we see lots of lovely birds! We love it when we spot Cardinals! I think this guy spotted us, too!
 |
| "Hello!" |
This one looked like he was posing for us!
 |
| "Get my good side!" |
And then his wife came over to check him out!
 |
| "I think you have a little piece of breakfast stuck on your beak!" |
That wasn't the clearest shot, but we like it anyway! (And don't worry, Mrs. Cardinal; we didn't notice his messy beak!)
We saw this Cedar Waxwing up in a tree:

Mom's photo came out looking like a water-color, but we have no idea why!
We also recently saw a Brown Thrasher!

He was singing a very pretty song!
We see lots of swallows swooping around on our walks. This little on was resting up on a house gutter:

| Barn Swallow |
Mom said they're lots easier to photograph when they hold still!
We can see lots of pretty birds when we sit out on our deck, too!
 |
| "Birdie!" |
The swallows love to catch bugs in the field back there, then perch up on the wires.

Look who else is doing a high wire act!
 |
| Purple Finch |
Why are Purple Finches red? And why are Red Bud Trees purple? Hmm...
Our last shot is a Common Grackle at sunset:

Mom loves how the sunset is lighting up his feathers!
As always, you are welcome to visit our FlickR set to see more of our bird photos. I hope you enjoyed going birding with us!
Camo!
I'm so used to Facebook I was looking for the "Like" button! LOL
ReplyDeleteLIKE! LIKE! LIKE!
(I'm so glad you knew what kind of birds these all were!)
We love seeing birdies! We think you're pretty cute sitting there watching them too Cammie! We thought it looked like you had a face in your furs on your back too.
ReplyDeleteWe love your birdies. The cardinals are our fav. If we tried that over here all you would get a pigeons and crows and maybe a magpie. Boring, boring , boring bar the fact I tried to roll in half a dead magpie the other day. Left over fox snack attack I fear. Have a terrific Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly.
Beautiful Birds!! I love them, you are so lucky to have all those different kinds. We get lots of Cardinals(which we love) but not as many of the other kinds that you have

Great bird shots. Mrs. Cardinal was probably expecting the Mr. to feed her. They do that during courtship.

WE have OFTEN wondered about that crazy Red Bud vs Purple Finch thingy.
ReplyDeleteI would like to know why a purple finch is red too. Are you enjoying the view from the deck, Cami?
ReplyDeleteCamo! you sure have a lot of beautiful birds in your neighborhood. Great pictures! We love the Cedar Waxwing. We'll see them occasionally here, flocking with Robins, and it's a real treat!
