Given Dave and I are both grounded now (me with my unknown source of angry heart; Dave with significant tendonitis), we have been trying to get out and see birds more often. In fact, while Dave has been out climbing and riding recently, I've been going on some formal bird walks. They are always fun. So, today, we offer some of his awesome bird photos. The first bird shown here is ADORABLE! A baby Violet-Green Swallow peeking out of his nest hole watching for dinner!
We managed to find a small group of Pygmy Nuthatches. Once we found these, it seems I'm seeing them everywhere.
White-Breasted Nuthatch. These silly birds never get old in terms of watching them.
And out buddy the Burrowing Owl. There is an area in town where a pair are raising two young. As we drove by, we were lucky enough to enjoy a show with them all.
Cedar Waxwings! We spent a lot of time and many evenings going to a spot we knew Cedar Waxwings and their fledglings were hawking for hours. They did not disappoint. So many beautiful birds to watch that it was hard to know where to look.
More Cedar Waxwings. Can you tell the males from the females? Smaller crest=female.
We had one Cedar Waxwing that was especially cooperative. There are so many good photos of the Cedars that it's hard to chose a few to post.
