Feathered Friends - Weekend Mix
Hello everyone and welcome to my weekend mix of Feathered Friends
.jpg)
Haven't been able to get out much this week, weather has been cloudy and windy for most of the week.
I noticed frost and freeze warnings for the area tonight. Nothing like some late freezing weather to nip that early Spring in the bud.
Starting off with a few Sparrow images, these are easy pickings as they are about 10 feet from me eating seeds.
Also they are used to me being there so they will come in close and don't seem to mind the shutter noise.

These little Juncos are right at the minimum focus distance, I actually had to move back about three feet or so because they were coming in too close O.o

This crow flew in with a big piece of stale bread and dunked it in the standing water in the rain gutter to soften it up.
Got a series of shots but trying to image a black bird that is back lit is almost an exercise in futility.

Got this one with it's beak full of bread and water.
The Geese have been flying over all day today. this group was having a leadership debate in midair

Took them a minute or two but they sorted it out and got back into a chevron formation.

These were taken last Tuesday during a sunny afternoon.
As I was tracking the geese I spotted a Robin watching them fly by.

This one is in the top of a tree in the neighbor's yard.

That's all for today. Hope you all enjoyed the images.

This is a wonderful mix of bird photos! I saw my first migratory spring bird today. If the red winged blackbirds are starting to come back, spring can't be too far behind! !Tip
Yeah I've been seeing Geese moving North for a couple of weeks now.
I live fairly close to the Bay so I can hear them honking all the time, couple of thousand of these makes enough noise to hear miles away. They seem to be fond of 4 am flyovers at my place as well.
Thanks for dropping by @melinda010100
I have hundreds of geese that winter on the open water of the river which is just beyond my bedroom window. They do create a ruckus!
The ground here is still covered with snow, but warmer temps are on the way!

Yeah we have been warming up till the last couple days.
Frost and freeze warnings a couple days after I planted most of my flower containers =/
It's a balmy 50 degrees with 15 mph winds right now. Oh well at least the sun is shinning.

Lovely selection of bird photos.
How clever the crow is to soften the bread in water.
Thank for dropping in @nelinoeva
Yes the crows( actually I think it's a Raven) are very clever.
Success !!

There are plenty around and I struggle to distinguish between crows and ravens. They are very interesting birds to observe.
