A wee tiny bird (I think might be a Starling) is living out it’s beginning life, in a hollow of a limb of the tree in our yard
At the Upper End, we have pheasants. Delightful birds
Over by the equipment area, I saw a fun courting couple
Then on the back road going to the Back Forty twice,
I ran across this pretty handsome feller
Our days are in the 100*s now. That is 37.7c.
At the peak of the heat in the daytime, the little songbirds rest—such wise little creatures
Or come to our chicken yard and try to grab a snack or two…
I’m sure they are thinking “get some food while everyone sleeps, then no one will ever know.)
The hawks and other raptors silent shadows slide over the warm and bright land
The blue sky is alive with life
As so is the earth
Ah Summer so
Full Life
Full of Joy
Full of Daily Adventures
To me
The most perfect time of the year!
Your friend on a western Colorado farm,

Your high elevation gets in the 100s??? OY!
That baby bird is adorable. The wing shot is awesome. The flyover shot…the sky looks purple and, is that the Moon, too?
Thanks for the Robin shots. I so miss those birds. Rarely see them anymore…
Do the Pheasants dance?

Love your birds, but I am so sorry for that heat. It is hitting near a hundred here with high humidity and it is laying me seriously low. Too hot to even take Peggy out to her new sand pile. Take care

Humidity is hard, hard, hard on a body. Stay inside and stay cool! 🙂

I’m waiting for the Honey Eaters to come back in Spring, but even this cooler time of year isn’t truly cold, so there’s plenty of bird life to watch.

Beautiful summer birds! Love the Quail! We used to see them where we were “born and raised” in Eastern Washington… I guess it’s too damp for them here in Eugene .

They sometimes take a beating from the predators in the area, so I am always delighted to see some that ‘make it’.
