A week ago someone gifted me a newly published book with photos but some birds I see rather regularly are not in that book either. They may not be "native" to the area but they are definitely living here and multiplying!

Seriously, I'd come here first if I ever needed to identify a bird, duck, hawk or owl! Your shots are so clear and close up! The color of that water is stunning. I'm crazy about that little guy just flapping his wings with joy! (the Golden Eye)<br />PS - I loved your comment on my post, the lyrical description of your 3 grandsons! awww!

I write in the book when and where I see a bird for the first time. It's slow going because I'm so unknowledgeable about the birds.<br />Great photos once again.

What a wonderful cross section of quackers in your area! I've not kept a bird list, not made a practice of identifying the various birds I've seen. I think it would trigger a typical obsessiveness that would start detracting from the pleasure... Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02971991029290518107noreply@blogger.com
