~~~Who Are The Birds In My Neighborhood~~


It is hard to believe how quickly Wild Bird Wednesday comes, so I have put together some photos of just a few of the birds in  my neighborhood  !!
The first four I took last month when the apple trees where in bloom!!

Red Winged Blackbird 
Flaps down getting ready for a landing!!


Made it ...!


This is the Bobolink !!
The yellow is the back of it's head, and what can't see is his back which is white!!
Only decent shot I got !!

Eastern Kingbird!! 
Hope to be able to get one of it down lower some time !!

Cute little Eastern Phoebe..love these guy's!!
Don't you love a dead branch on a tree, clear view!! 

The Eastern Bluebird!
My all time favorite bird !

Purple Finch !!  
This time of year the males color is so brilliant !!


Some of the new neighbors!! : )

    How nice for you to have such charming new neighbours!
    The combination of birds and flowering trees or snow covered ones, is just lovely. I even leave a small dead tree standing just in case I get a bird land in it.

    Hi Grace...Wow! what a colourful selection of birds you've got there?

    The Eastern Bluebird and the Purple Finch are real stunners.

    As for the Bobolink...where on earth did that name come from?...[;o)

    Love that bluebird photo! Outstanding. We have our phoebe family back for the summer, living in their nest under our elevated deck . I don't think I've ever seen so many birds you manage to spot!

    Hi Grace,

    All these birds are lovely and I love the first picture of the redwing blackbird, nice shot!
    In fact, all the pictures are great, a nice series. Many of these we see here except the Eastern Bluebird that we don't see anymore. :(

    You have great birds in your neighborhood! I love the first shot with the down-turned wings...and the babies too. ...and you have Bobolinks in your yard! Lucky you! I have to drive to a local park with a meadow to find them.
