Bird Watching Club

Here's a pic of a baby Butcher Bird being fed !

Welcome KSUSAN,

My favorite bird back in Illinois was the Great Blue Heron. A group of them lived in a creek back behind our house and I could see the taking off and landing. I really liked how graceful they were folding and unfolding their wings. It was the most exotic bird I had seen locally.

A group of birds I enjoyed was the red winged blackbirds that spent a lot of time in a wild area behind our house. Once I saw them chase a hawk away, it was impressive.

As far as a mass demonstration the Canada Geese that flew over spring and fall uwas amazing. We were on the flyway to the Horicon Marsh up in WI and the number of Geese was far beyond even estimating.

I hope your surgery goes smoothly and you will be back with us soon.

I loved seeing the storks in Avila Spain. We lived in Madrid for 4 years 40 years ago. I wish I had been more interested in birds at the time. They would make their nests along the walls of the old city. When I am at my computer again, I will put the photos up.

Oh Lisa - how very wonderful!

Love it!

Lisa, I bet you loved your time in Spain. Awesome pictures.

Here are some pictures I took for this photography workshop I am doing. The old windmill in the is supposedly a still working windmill from Holland that dates back to the 1750's. This is in Geneva, IL where it resides. I drove out of town to find it and got in a car accident on my way there. Nothing serious but it turned into quite a day. There were dozens of ducks in the parking lot but by the time I got off the phone dealing with insurance people they went into the water. This is the Fox River in northern Illinois.

You have such neat and interesting birds in Florida. How cool to have one in your backyard.

not a bird but just saw this today

I saw that photo of the windmill and it looked so much like one I took in Holland

Love that stork! My mother gets great blue herons eating her goldfish in the pond sometimes.

I think that one in Holland is older. But who knows.

Wren, that story is amazing. I have heard that crows are very intelligent. I guess this proves that. Thanks for sharing that.
