Eastern bluebird taking flight, little bugger wouldn't stay still long enough for me to snap a photo.
Part of the menagerie that visits regularly.

I really should just bookmark that site, instead of hunting back through old posts and bumping it up.
Take care and God bless,

Well, momma just stood up, fluffed up the straw a bit, then settled back down on her two eggs.
'Bout as exciting as it gets...for now.

Nice pictures BigHomer! I'm just seeing turkeys show up, on my game cameras. I don't know where they go the other 9 months of the year. I swear, they hibernate, in a cave, the rest of the year.

A well-focused Cardinal in flight is a very fine catch. Congrats.

Re: Ornithology (Bird) Thread
They are very strange to me. 3 years ago there was a flock that come to my feeders just about every day, last year a lone hen would show now and again. So now they are coming every day again.
Beautiful shot of the Cardinal .

In those situations big homer, I tell myself that wings are the bird equivalent of free will.

Re: Ornithology (Bird) Thread
Just took a peek in on her.
She looks a little bedraggled.
Hope she's okay. She keep nodding off, and I'm not sure what's on her beak.

Re: Ornithology (Bird) Thread
This is so cool. Thanks, John.
The adults just switched nesting a few minutes ago.
How do you go back to earlier time to see the new chick?
This video is really nice.
