Do What you Gotta Do

When a person watches or studies any kind of species in their natural habitat. Then at one point in time. this individual will encounter poignant moments that are common occurrences in nature such as: A raptor capturing a small bird.

As well as in other occasions this person might be witness to natural act of copulation between two species of a kind.

Today’s post brings you a sequence of shots of what I witnessed in my backyard. The sexual consummation between two Mourning Doves.

Loose Ends?

Although life is really important and is to be taken seriously, we can stretch it a little bit and make room for a tiny bit of humor that incredibly works as “grease” to make events in daily life, run smoother.

Of course, this is part of my zany philosophy.

Humor is serious stuff indeed!

I have picked some photos for you that I just hope deserve the title of today’s post.

Do You Remember?

This post is an update to a post I published on 7/26/2013 entitled “Ups and Downs”

I wrote about the hardships of birds living in the wild. I also posted a photograph of a House Finch (M) that was in bad shape, had lost one eye and looked as if had been attacked by an obvious larger adversary. Several people expressed their sentiments for the injured little bird, I was sad too and wished him well.

So it happens that on 8/22/2013 I photographed the bird again, by mere coincidence posed as it did before. Take a look at the photos and you’ll clearly see that he’s recuperated,looks well and even has molted to a new set of feathers.

I’m so glad for him!

You can Visit me Anytime!

Once in a while I get some visitor birds that spend a little time in my backyard, just enough time for me to shoot some pictures. I’m referring to birds like the Carolina Wren.

This little birds is very energetic, fast moving and at any position poses a beautiful figure. It’s not a rare bird, in fact is quite known and popular in several States of the eastern USA.

I love this kind of visitors!
