Gallery # 18 – Northern Cardinal

Northern Cardinals are birds that are well known and popular among the favorites. There’s no doubt about it, they’re beautiful and extremely handsome birds. Very frequent visitors at the feeders in every season.

Gallery # 17 – Eastern Phoebe

It’s very noticeable the absence of all the birds that used to fly around and come to feed from our backyard during the Spring and Summer, now is only a few now and then. I kind of miss the busy backyard.

I’m still in the process of planning a trip to Savannah and from there drive south to visit several wildlife refuges and other interesting points where to shoot some pictures, not only of birds. I also shot landscapes, flowers, and other wildlife.

Meanwhile, I bring you 4 shots of the Eastern Phoebe.

Gallery # 16 – Northern Mockingbirds – Eastern Bluebirds

The past few days, a Northern Mockingbird has been sitting on and around the feeders, perched for long time just looking around, I’m surprise that he’s alone and not with a couple like they usually do. I don’t see many birds this time of the year, I think that next season, winter will bring more birds to the feeders.

I’m displaying some shots of the Northern Mockingbird and some shots of Eastern Bluebirds I shot last year.

I’m still planning my trip to the Savannah area and the marshes and Islands in the coast of Georgia. Can’t wait to be there! 🙂

Gallery # 15 – Exotic Birds

This time of the year’s weather added some extra rain remnants from Tropical Storm Ida.

Fewer birds are coming to our feeders I’ve seen some Carolina Chickadees, Mourning Doves and sometimes I see a Northern Mockingbird flying around. Yesterday my wife and I were returning home after going shopping when we pulled in our driveway I saw in the sky a group of approximately 30 birds flying in V formation. I got off my car, run in my house to get the camera and went out to take a shot…they were gone! It was cloudy and gray, I could hear the honking of their calls, but nothing else. They were high and flying very fast. I believe they were Canada Geese. One of these days!…

I have some more exotic birds for today, definitely not from my backyard! 🙂
