I do know is there may be an excessive amount of good on this planet to disregard. This diary is to permit the realm of magnificence to glow obvious. It certain beats the unhealthy temper I’ve been in for a couple of weeks.
I hope all of you’ll take the time to get pleasure from this menagerie of nature pictures I’ve supplied.
Soon after I took the photograph above, the eagle launched.
The bulk of at present’s pictures have been taken at Sardis Lake, MS. (15 miles from my home). Many of the birds proven on this diary are linked to water throughout their lives.
Certain occasions of the 12 months, some birds don’t appear like they belong to their household group. Age, and seasonal plumage molting will make identification of a selected chicken tougher. Below is an ideal instance.
Would you set these two birds collectively as mates?
A mated pair of Rock Pigeons could have totally different coloration selection additionally.
It seems that everybody likes geese.
I see a lot of Hawks perched on energy traces and don’t typically get the prospect to cease and take a photograph. Rare occasions, I can get the shot.
I’ll finish this phase with the mighty Hawk launching to chase Starlings. I urged the noisy group of pesky blackbirds to “make haste”. They did instinctively.
After the hawk moved on, the Grackles, Brown-headed Cowbirds, Starlings, Brewer’s and Red-wing Blackbirds continued to “plow the fields” for any available meals.
I hope Spring is shut and you’re discovering indicators of hope and new beginnings every day.
