My world with Nature.

Photographs, and a few words about the birds that visit the garden and those that I manage to see.

The only bird I name is the pileated woodpecker, gonzilla. This is a dove from AZ when I was down there a few weeks ago.

Bird for Friday

Category: My Garden Birds | Posted: Fri May 29, 2009 4:35 am

How about a small bird, a bewick's wren. They did nest in the back garden last year. Still a regular visitor. It walked, I mean walked, into the house once when I went onto the deck.

Have been taking photos of marine life. With the tides so low and some knowedgable people identifying all the star fish, crabs and everything else it was a great time, Now its back to the birds. We don't get to see many owls so that is the image for today. A short eared one.

Male Kingfisher.

The previous image of a Kingfisher is one of the rare occasions when the female is the colorful one. The male, here, is the duller one of the two.

Kingfisher.

I have been busy the last couple of days, hope you missed the birds. We had to get the May news letter out, a lot of work. Anyway, here is a kingfisher, there is always one around the lagoon, they sit on a wire so its not the best nature shot.

Different looking gull.

Category: My Garden Birds | Posted: Mon May 04, 2009 7:00 pm

This heermann's gull doesn't look like the gulls one usually sees. It has black legs that helps with the ID. The one with the red bill is an adult the other is a juvenile.
