Birds are starting to show up!

Last Wednesday I went food shopping with Lucy and Tyler to the super market. There were a lot of cars in the parking lot so I decided to park a little farther instead of looking for an empty space closer to the market’s entrance. This way we have a chance to give Tyler some space to walk. We all need the exercise! I turned  my head and I saw a large bird flying toward us and then perched up on top of the lamp post near us. I’m almost sure it was an Osprey. I called Lucy to take a look and she was surprised to see one so close. Then the bird took off flying away toward the woods nearby.

Since the weather has improved some and got slightly warmer I’ve seen a lot of birds flying in my backyard, birds such as:

  • C. Crows
  • N. Mockingbirds
  • H. Finches
  • C. Chickadees
  • M. Doves
  • F. Sparrows
  • N. Cardinals

Then I placed  bird seeds  in clay dishes on my deck table and I had the opportunity to shoot some pictures from inside my kitchen, through the glass door. I felt good to use my camera again.

Here I’m posting some of them.
