Wishing you all a "Very Blessed Easter."

American Tree Sparrow

This is a bird that winter's here in Indiana.

 

 

For some reason, I don't see many Sparrows,

but I think this one is especially beautiful.

 

 

 

 

 

I think I was getting "the look!"

 

 

Or did that mean "the food is almost gone?"

 

Have a "Blessed Day!"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is This a Sign of Spring??

The snow is finally melting,

The sun is out, and so is someone else!

 

This youngster must have decided

it was time to end his "long winter's nap"

and check out his beautiful world!

 

Or was he just checking for food?

 

 

 

"What makes you think

I was eating your bird food?"

 

 

This is kind of a "balancing act."

 

 

"I think she wants me to LEAVE."

 

 

"Sure hope I can find my mother."

 

 



A Bald Eagle -- Never Seen One Here Before!!

This evening as I was sitting in my living room,

I saw a huge bird flying through the trees.

My first thought was that it was a big owl.

 

I finally spotted where it had landed,

and grabbed my camera.

 

At first, I had no idea what it was,

but I got a lot more excited

when I saw that "white" head.

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I had heard that Eagles were coming back

to Indiana, but I had never seen one here.

What a nice surprise!!

 

 



Guess Who Came for Lunch Today?

While I was having lunch today,

this beautiful creature landed on a nearby branch.

 

 

Perhaps I should mention

that it was looking directly at

all my bird feeders.

 

I guess we know what kind of lunch

he had in mind.

 

 



 

 

At one point,

I think he might have seen me.

 

But my presence did not seem

to bother him.

 

 

Opps -- Where's his head?

 

 

Did I mention,

I'm not sure what kind of a Hawk this is?

Maybe a juvenile Red-Shouldered Hawk.

Let me know, if you have another idea.

 

Have a Great Day!!
