Oriental Magpie Robin! This bird stood quite still for this portrait! Other birds were more elusive. I joined a group for the contest to see how many birds could be seen in 1 hour. I added the Orange-headed Thrush and Black-naped Oriole to my life list bringing it up to 324 species! I also recorded 13 other species, of which my favorite is the Rose-ringed Parakeet photographed below.
What color describes your personality and why? Bengalis call me “Ever Green,” because I am always cheerful.
What irritates you about the home you live in? The floor our Living Room and Dining Room is too high to be able to see our bird feeders!
I couldn’t resist sending this photo to our brother-in-law for Christmas! Of course I had sone somee photoshopping, to get the cardinal onto the binoculars (And not a good job of it). Hoping you all have a great Christmas Day!
Returning home from a 3 week road trip, I filled our bird feeders. If this goldfinch was attracted to the finch feeder, it was soon distracted by the natural sides close by!
I haven’t had a chance to check my life list of birds recorded, but I think this Stellar Jay, seen in the Yosemite Valley, is one of the birds that put my list over 300!
The Prothonotary Warbler makes his appearance, but can’t totally hide behind this small branch! I still remember the thrill I had, when I first saw this beautiful bird! For those who have seen these last posts of birding at Magee Marsh. Would you have preferred to see all the photos on one post, or would your preference be, to see one a day?
It is always a treat when this colorful orange and black, Baltimore Oriole shows up. We actually had some show up at our feeder this Spring! Likely they were just passing through, since we haven’t seen them recently. The catbirds do love the grape jelly we have put out for the Orioles!
One of many warblers spotted during the Spring Migration at Magee Marsh, Ohio, a hotspot for catching sight of these beautiful birds.
