Bird Weekly Challenge #34: Birds that begin with the letter D

February 9, 2021Posted in Birds, Nature, PhotographyTagged birds that begin with the letter D, birdweekly, Dove, Duck9 Comments

D is for Ducks and Doves

I hate to say this but I am terrible at identifying ducks and doves but I enjoy photographing them. These are a few of my favorites.

Bird Weekly Challenge #33: Birds on a wire or fence

February 2, 2021February 1, 2021Posted in Birds, Nature, PhotographyTagged birds on wire or fence, birdweekly, Great Blue Heron, Great Egret, Hawk, Photo Challenge21 Comments

This challenge reminded me of a Great Egret we saw perched on the end of a dock at an RV Park in Cedar Key, Florida more than a few years ago. It ignored me as it kept on preening and I kept snapping away.

After browsing through my archives I came up with few more birds that meet the challenge.

Great Blue Heron, Ft. Pickens National Seashore, Florida

American White Pelicans and Cormorants – Texas Gulf Coast

I hope you enjoy these brown feathered birds from my archives. The Brown Pelicans pictured above were on the pier in Cedar Key, Florida.

I spotted the next four – a Hawk, Osprey, Juvenile Wood Stork, and House Sparrow – at different times near where I live in Coastal Georgia.

The birding was great as we traveled around the Texas Gulf coast a few years ago.
