Wonderful wildlife: Birds and bees

There are photo threads, but let this be of flying (and not flying) birds and things[video=youtube;nX2obMSduEc]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nX2obMSduEc[/video]

This pretty girl comes when I call her. Her name is Henri. (At least I think she's a girl, 'cause she has two little ones she is training.)

Wow. I wonder how long the photographer waited and how many times he (or she) tried before getting that shot

Taken during a walk in Bridge of Weir (Scotland)

This isn't our backyard, but sometimes we will have as many as 30 or 40 of these guys strutting across our lawn. They walk all the way through the neighborhood, foraging in a group.

Cool!
Only birds that tame here are sparrows and pigeons

Here are a few of my favourites from my dad's photography

Those are beautiful!!

I am reminded o that children's poem/song All Things Bright and Beautiful
All Things Bright and Beautiful

Yes, they are.

I bet.
The grey squirrels were quite tame in Scotland. Wouldn't let us touch them though, just grabbed the nut and ran a few paces before sitting down to eat it.

Hunting sugar?

We live in Philly, so falcons are rare. But hubby recorded one on a neighbor's antenna.

And since CC doesn't feel like making it look like a video today, here's the other "flying thing" recorded in our backyard. (It's not rare. It flies by often whenever there is a Phillies game.)

Thanks all for the posts. Sometimes i click on Like, sometimes i dont thinking i'd reply in particular to some later but never could... Anyway, time i exited, but just now ive been hearing this bird who sings in several notes, but do nto really know what it's called. I am waiting for the bug posts however.. how cute they would be (those chubby, sometimes colorful baby butterflies and moths), would they not?! When we were small, sis would shriek and yell whenever there were photos of worms and snakes in books too-- so i was kind of a scary and scared child too. Once a big ornamental pot was brought into the haus.. and gueess what was seen crawling on sis' side of her shirt?? A big brown spiky caterpillar... what commotion and yelling til it was removed, and the trauma. But in time this sis still loved plants and went on with her career... In time i saw what is there to b e afraid of in a picture... so i still avoid getting close to citrus plants w/ those small crawling things or even the heart shaped leaves of the purple yam... but the photos and tales would be nice to see and hear abt.

Am I the only weirdo that likes seagulls?

If I'm by the seaside I love them. I only wish they would glide more slowly so I could get a good shot
It does get annoying when they sit screeching in the middle of a town where they technically don't belong though.
