Spring Can't Come too Soon!

 

Yes, I need to see goslings.

I need spring.

I'm over the winter.

It needs to go away.

Now.

A Taste of Europe

 

Well, okay. It's not really a taste of Europe. It's a European Starling, a bird considered a nuisance or invasive bird in these parts. And, more obviously, the photo wasn't taken today!

Have You Heard?

 

He's going to buy me a mockingbird. If that mockingbird don't sing, he's going to buy me a diamond ring. I that diamond ring don't shine ...

Okay. 

I'll stop singing.

But I'm leaving a mockingbird.

Goosed

 

A goose in Mindowaskin Park tries to stare me down.

Uh-oh.

The goose wins!

Gulls on Pilings

 

Gulls (or could the be terns?) gather on pilings on the bay between the Outer Banks and the mainland. While today is a grey day here, it certainly was much warmer when I was there on this particular grey day!

War and Peace

 

A dove perched on barbed wire.

I've Got My Eye On You

 

And don't you forget it! I'll be watching you!

The bird on the ground watches you all year 'round.

The elf on the shelf was eaten by the bird.

So, that's why he's gone.

Spread Your Wings!

 

I will spread my wings! I will soar!

Or, I'll just sit back on down in the pond.

Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay

 

Wastin' time ... oh, yeah.

Reflection on a Bird

 

A bird walking on the beach is reflected in the wet sand. Coolio.

Table for One, Please

 

I'm not quite sure I'd want to eat at that table.

Robin in the Snow

 

Fight or flight, robin!

Wood Duck

 

No, not a wooden duck! It's a wood duck! I kind of want to know why there was only one of these spotted with other more run of the mill ducks. Hmm ...

Landing Gear Set

 

Coming in for the landing, albeit not symmetrically. 

Quack Goes the Duck

 

QUACK! No pictures!

Hawk in Flight

 

Hawkin' the blog, hawkin' the blog.

Yellow on Yellow

 

Goldfinches on sunflowers. All can be right with the world.

But, it rarely is ...

Giving You the Bird

 

And, here it is! Hey! What were YOU expecting?! I'm not like that!

The Early Bird ...

 

... gets the worm.

Yes, They DO Exist in New Jersey!

 

True, it's not my best shot ever. But it is indeed a bald eagle flying the skies of the Greater New York City Metropolitan Area of New Jersey. Kewl.
