I think I had mentioned before, that a couple of Eastern Bluebird are nesting in my backyard. They are very active and I see them very often, hunting for bugs or worms. I have an American Crow coming almost daily, but I do not know what’s his business there, yet.

Great Egret


Great Egret

Great Egret


It has a slow flight, with its neck retracted. This is characteristic of herons and bitterns, and distinguishes them from storks, cranes, ibises, and spoonbills, which extend their necks in flight. The great egret walks with its neck extended and wings held close.

Ruddy Turnstone


The ruddy turnstone has a varied diet including carrion, eggs and plant material but it feeds mainly on invertebrates. Insects are particularly important in the breeding season. At other times it also takes crustaceans, molluscs and worms. It often flips over stones and other objects to get at prey items hiding underneath; this behaviour is the origin of the name “turnstone”. It usually forages in flocks.

Despite the irregular weather that we have, more birds are shwing up for meals in my backyard. That is something I like a lot, birds are flying here and there, all day long. I think all my birds are healthy and well fed. There are many birds that I haven’t seen yet, I hope they decide to come back and visit me again. Please, take care of yourselves and your loving families.
