Azalea Cheer

A wonderful Azalea - a gift from our daughter and her family.

 I love the twisted stem

 Such a cheery bush for our living room.  

Shorebirds

Now let's look at some shore birds.  These are Dunlins, with a couple of Pintail Ducks mixed in. 

 The shorebirds fly inland and spend time feasting in the farm fields that are flooded when we have massive amounts of rain.

 And Lesser Yellow legs find something to eat here too.

 Shorebirds are my favorite kind of birds.  What is your favorite bird?

Back Again

It's been such a long time - since October - since I last posted.  

I thought I'd share a couple of winter bird photos to start off with.  I've missed reading all of your blogs too, but I think I'm up to it now, so soon I will be visiting again.

This is how far away he was.
