This Red-winged Blackbird was in such a hurry to get away from me I got to see each and every feather as he jolted into the sky
In fresh pale air, I saw little dangling feet
I love to hear this little quail calling, calling —a Gambel’s Quail
Their voices like ruffled water
The flight so effortless to birds, so fascinating to me
When watering our lawn the birds come in flocks to thin out the worm population
A tiny little Killdeer lingering as I walk by
Summer bounty in birds 
And of course more feet…and wings
The flash of feathers
Among the soughing Red-stemmed grass, in the beautiful small beating heart, of the feathered and winged world.
From my world to your heart,
Linda

Snap lots of photos and edit almost all of them. Also I try to feed them, but some are just caught in the air.

Wow Linda, what great photos of birds! Love the little “bob whites”. I need to get a camera like your and give it a try 🙂

You will probably do better with the phone, so many people use those great phone cameras and can take series of photos faster than I can on my hand held.

Re winged blackbird used to live around the marsh around the San Francisco Bay, and sometimes come farther south into the Santa Clara Valley. They do not do that now of course. I sort of miss them. California quail is our state bird, but they are not very meaty at all.

It’s sad to see the live creatures move on.

Almost all of the native people were forced out too, which to me, is just as sad. Red wing blackbirds are likely still near the San Francisco Bay, but do not come as far inland as they used to.
