It's Camera Critters time again. We've gone from the zoo (last week) back to our own back yard this week. These pictures were all taken earlier in the year and perhaps last year. At any rate, before Hurricane Ike. Seems like we are dating everything BI (before Ike) or AI (after Ike). I am pleased to report that all our bird friends made it through the storm and are back in our backyard at feeding time.
Ma and Pa cardinal have raised several little ones from a nest
in our duranta. Dad is sitting on a cage that we had
around a lime tree.

Mourning Dove
We were out working in another area of our postage stamp
backyard and were late feeding.
Normally, we do not feed on the ground, but the
birds were in such a hurry and making such a racket
that we tossed seed wherever!
Blue Jay and Sparrow
See you next week!
These birds are so incredile to me, we certainly don't have them in Sweden... Especially bright red cardinals!

Lovely! I especially like cardinals, they're so pretty.
ReplyDeleteLovely bird photos--so glad that they survived the hurricane.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. Glad to hear that they survived the hurricane. Must have been a terrifying experience for all of you.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful birds! Glad they made it back safely!
ReplyDeleteWow. I have seen so many great bird pics on this meme! These are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love these shots! We put out our birdfeeder only around Christmas and we haven't had any visitors yet, despite me cleaning it off after each snowfall. I do love the cardinals in particular. The bluejays are colorful but they tend to scare off the little ones.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. Looks like you had sunshine to get good color.
ReplyDeleteLove the birds! I have a ton of feeders out & love watching so many different ones coming in to feed.
ReplyDeleteI love the Cardinals and I think the Blue Jays are beautiful, even if they do chase other birds away from feeders. :-)
ReplyDeleteThese are so beautiful and fantastic close ups.
ReplyDeleteI love the shot of the little guy just standing there on the ground, so at home
