BOTD: Plain Pigeon
Tumblr media
Photo: budgora
"A large pale pigeon of woodlands and forest edges; often found perching high in trees. Call is a soft, deep 'HOOO-hoo-hoooo' and variations thereof but never similar to 'oooOOO-hooo' of Ring-tailed Pigeon."

Waterside Watcher
Tumblr media
I love finding great blue herons (Ardea herodias) hunting in the Louisiana lakes. Herons and egrets are not a rare sight, but I still feel privileged every time I see one. In this photo, I like the way the camera captured the heron's reflection in the water.
I don't post all of the photos that I post here to my Pixels gallery, but I post the photos I like best. Some don't make the cut. I most likely will post this one to the gallery even though I I think that have a similar photo, framed differently, posted there already. I usually wait a couple of days to see how I feel about it then.

It's Puff Grack season! I love the Grackles, and about a week after their arrival they have started to show off. Please enjoy the Grack Waltz! (Unmute for max fun!)

Felt a separate post for the birds was warranted, the collection is huge. Everything from birds of prey, waterfowl, hummingbirds, and even a few extinct species.
Some of the parrots were looking a tad rough but you try to keep a corpse looking good for over a few decades.

BOTD: California Thrasher
Tumblr media
Photo: Wendy Miller
"Several kinds of dull gray-brown thrashers occur in the West, but this is the only one along the California coast. The bird's normal range is limited to California and a corner of Baja, but within that range it is quite common in the chaparral, even coming into brushy suburbs. It spends most of its time on the ground, walking and running with its tail often held high, stopping to dig in the dirt with its sickle-shaped bill."

Stubborn Bird
Tumblr media
Yesterday, among the hundreds of goldfinches flittering around my backyard. I saw this house finch (Haemorhous mexicanus). I was taken by his coloring, which is a bit more on the orange side than most house finches that I see around here. I only had time for this one shot. The look on the bird's face reminds me of Ben when I'm talking to him, and he just stares back at me.

You know, the photographs that I post here are not quite a vivid as the same photographs that I post at my pixel's gallery, because here, I reduce the size of the photos and usually make a slight reduction in the quality of the photos to make them easier to load.

Another one for the Grackheads.
They were the highlight on this gloomy day.
