Recent Bird Photos

Hi, folks.

I have been doing a little birding, along with just enjoying the nice weather.  Here are some recent bird sightings:

A Downy Woodpecker, a Western Scrub Jay – thinking he’s funny (actually, I think he was looking under that rock), and a pair of Mountain Bluebirds (why does the male always get to be the flashy, fancy one?!):

A Lazuli bunting, and a Say’s Phoebe:

Seems to be a lot of blue in the bird world right now.  …guess ‘blue is the new gray’, eh?

Also, there was an American Goldfinch in one of my trees the other day.

Enjoy your birds!

    Ah, wonderful birds. It’s always a pleasure to add another to the life list. Great photos.

  • barge:

    the Bunting looks tasty.. or pretty rather.. so did you just take pictures, or did you make dinner too??

    Glad the weather is getting better for you!

  • Aunt Marcy:

    What beautiful birds. I haven’t seen many varieties yet. Maybe that’s because I haven’t put out the bird feeder.

  • Jen:

    Katie – Lovely pix, as always. Don’t forget to plan on hanging out with me during the first part of June! I should be in Moab on the 5th or 6th. Dig it.

  • Cactus Kate:

    Sonja (AKA ‘mom’) – Thanks. Yes, it IS nice to add a new one to the list! This time, my favorite was the cute, tiny downy woodpecker!

    Barge – Takes about 23 buntings to make a meal for a family of 3. Still waiting for 22 more…LOL

    Aunt Marcy – I bet you get much different birds than we do. Pennsylvania is a world away in birding terms…Good luck!

    Jen – Thanks. I DO have you penciled into my BUSY social calendar. Can’t wait to see you! Really!
