Nature Walks – Birds In the Trees

So many birds are out and about, and I am meeting new ones all the time. I love the birds. They always remind me of my dad. My dad and I used to bird watch together all the time.

Today is the first time I’ve seen this little guy. He is a Brown-Capped Rosy Finch. Isn’t he gorgeous? When I was looking through my bird book to identify him, I learned that most of the Brown-Capped Rosy Finches breed here in Colorado too. I just love learning new things.

Here are some more feathered friends I saw today too.

The Downey Woodpecker. You met him the other day.

I finally got a good shot of a Blue Jay. Usually they fly off just as I get them in focus.

There were some common grackles out and about too.

And some chickadees too. These guys have been very difficult for me to capture. But I got lucky today.

This Canyon Wren was from awhile ago, but I did not want to put him all by himself, so I waited until I had some more good bird shots.

This European Starling was from awhile ago too, but again, I was waiting to put him with some more birds.

Enjoy your day and don’t let it fly away.
