There are thousands, and I mean thousands of birds now migrating north to Canada. Unbelievable the variety and number here at this time of year. I often sit and watch and think what the native Americans thought when they saw such abundance. Glad to have visited your posting today.Gardens at Waters Easthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007610849161868747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-37305806374623897182013-04-09T02:30:06.841-07:002013-04-09T02:30:06.841-07:00Love to see your passion Chris.

I laughed at the lovebird who came back to unscrew the eyeglasses. We have one before, which follow instructions from my mother, but it died, don't know why. <br /><br />Regarding the birds in our area, the Oriental magpie robin pair roost under our eaves. I am so curious that a yellow vented bulbul always chase the pair, maybe because the bulbul is in nesting season, and the robins are tease. The orioles enemies, on the other hand are the crows. It is so fascinating to watch the noisy and colorful war between the blacks and the yellows on tops of trees. Happy birding, and more birds to come!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-68737892897637184842013-04-07T21:39:59.874-07:002013-04-07T21:39:59.874-07:00It's pretty amazing:)It's pretty amazing:)Rohrerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136631378931478644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-34360620476523246282013-04-07T21:39:22.894-07:002013-04-07T21:39:22.894-07:00Jeanne, I saw an Elf Owl tonight and couldn't ...Jeanne, I saw an Elf Owl tonight and couldn't take a picture!

I honestly don't know how long I can keep in the race BUT tonight just when I was about to give up, I shared a moment with two other birders as we spotted the Elf Owl. My teacher hearing is impeccable and helps me zone and locate the birds. My eyes aren't always the best. The difficult part is that I didn't get a shot, but I have a strict rule about using flash with nocturnal critters. So this one I observed with the naked eye right in front of me. Pretty exciting stuff. It makes the 3 AM stuff all worth it:)Rohrerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136631378931478644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-81796825930020889822013-04-07T14:42:24.675-07:002013-04-07T14:42:24.675-07:00Hey Chris, what a great post (maybe 'saga'...Hey Chris, what a great post (maybe 'saga' is a better word for it). I always enjoy reading your musings and ogling your photos. <br /><br />The competition is a great motivator too. I try not to look too often, but I started off this 2013 year very sluggishly with the birding and just one peak at the end of January to see how miserably I compared was enough to keep me out and active, which is of course the most rewarding thing of all, even if it's hard to convince the brain and body of it at 3:00am when it's time to hit the road.Laurence Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14766876797454283812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-64921556382050379292013-04-07T14:40:51.212-07:002013-04-07T14:40:51.212-07:00You certainly enjoy all aspects of birding.

I'll bet a lot of your birding friends are missing the amazing photos you get to documents their sightings.<br />This morning on our bike ride, we saw a great horned owl. I tried to get some photos of it. Not sure yet if they're very clear. It flew into a pine tree and sat for some photos but all those limbs makes it a trick. Then, it flew away. We were surprised to see it out mid morning.Gardener on Sherlock Streethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11367115529793643362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-54956891327494460212013-04-07T11:50:01.912-07:002013-04-07T11:50:01.912-07:00Zdrowa konkurencja jest potrzebna, dodaje emocji d...Zdrowa konkurencja jest potrzebna, dodaje emocji do pracy.
