Birds and a Feather

 
I don't take good photos of the birds at our feeders because of shooting through the glass (that isn't always clean)! 


(Ground Dove and House Finch)

If I go out into the courtyard, I scare them away!


But we do see some neat birds there, especially in the winter months. Lots of Goldfinches now!


We even saw a Baltimore Oriole one day last week but didn't get a photo of it. I hope it will visit again soon.


The pitiful bird I saw was probably a sick bird so I've deleted some of the photos. Thanks to my hubby and to David G. for letting me know. My husband told me first but as he will be the first to let you know....I never listen! lol

We are not seeing quite as many birds out on the trails but that should change in the next few weeks.


Lots of Warblers at the feeders!


Always something neat to see in nature.


And they are always hungry!


This Hawk was in the tree behind the house.


I'm not sure what bird this white feather came from but it was pretty on the trail.


We're still hiking just about every other day and enjoying the beautiful weather.

I hope you are all safe and snug during this winter storm that has hit the US! Take care and enjoy your weekend!

Small birds FLIT!


That's what we always say when we try to photograph small birds at the feeders or out on a hike.

They flit away!


So they are extremely hard to capture.

Of course when I saw these on our bird feeders in the courtyard, I took them through the glass window. After I took them, I got some paper towels and gave the windows a good cleaning. heehee!


A Pair of Baltimore Orioles came by more than once!


Another 'view'! lol


One of our regulars, a Yellow-throated Warbler


He loves the dish of water we keep under the feeders.


He REALLY flits away when I look out the window!


House Finches


The prettiest little Ground Dove


They are so dainty when they eat!

Do you have any special guests at your feeders this week?


Do yours flit by in the blink of an eye or hide behind a tree?
