Humming Birds

Coming in for a quick fillup

Sunrise in Corpus Christi

I'm sitting here this morning watching the sun rise. Every morning there is a call from the Osprey the overnights on the Cell Phone Tower that we are close too. I've tried and tried to get that bird in a good picture but have failed. Nonetheless, I sure love to hear his call just before he takes off for the days hunt.

Gold Fronted Woodpeckers

The color on these birds is really bright.

Mocking Birds

Mocking Birds

These are beautiful little birds. When I was a child, one of the first books I received was Adubon Illustrated Book of American Birds. One of the pictures was of two Mocking Birds in a bush protecting their nest from a rattlesnake.

Gold Fronted Woodpeckers

Woodpeckers

What pretty birds these are, but very very wary of anything close to them.

Birds of a Feather

Flock Together

These little birds are just beautiful

Red Winged Black Birds

Pretty Birds

I need more zoom. I had trouble getting close to these birds. I stood in a place with several birds around these bushes and this one electric pole. This one bird was harassing the other males and would fly down to buzz them. He would then fly back up to the top of the electric pole.

Scrub Jays

California Jays

They are very pretty birds, but this one would not allow me to be real close. I guess I'm going to have to get a better camera and a long distance lens if I'm to continue birding.

Crows

The Ravens Little Brother

These are such smart little brothers of the Raven. A friend of ours who use to live here in California had a pet crow. She said, it was the smartest bird she had ever been around.

Eye to Eye

Sea Gulls

I see you, do you see me

Roosters

Remembering Rodney

I saw this old bird and thought of Rodney, I miss Rodney and the Permafrost Ranch now and then.

Morro Bay California

Herons

We are in Morro Bay California, where they filmed the Birds. We are hoping to find a lot to photograph here.
