Feathered Friday - Sightings of the Week

Here are some more bird sightings of the week for #featheredfriday by @melinda010100

The indigo buntings are out in force around here. They have a loud song and are easy to locate but they are quite small. Its still difficult to get good pictures of them even though they don't tend to fly away.

Meanwhile the mourning doves are super tame and large. These two were no problem photographing other than having to pick my focal point leaving the one on the left blurry.

Here's a testing robin looking quite proud on a stump.

And another robin pulling some kind of larvae out of the ground.

Here's a bit of a rare sight. I managed to find the pie billed grebe family and the mom is bringing a fish to them.

Far off in the distance I also saw a mergancer. It's probably a red breasted mergancer judging by the hairdoo in the silhouette.

The Canadian geese by the lake are raising their families and the goslings are growing quickly. They basically eat all day non-stop.

Here's a great white heron perching on his favorite boulder in the lake.

Now it took off to check the perimeter of the lake for a good fishing spot.

The sun kind of blew out the details as he flew by a second time. Quite tricky getting feather details on such a huge white bird.

That's all for now, thanks for looking :-)
