My mate Nev checking out the territory from the top of the still bare Plum Tree that is next to our balcony, as his family, along with the Blackbirds, Wattlebirds and Doves vie for the best real estate to build a nest.

I was out yesterday just scouting for new places, and I think this place can be of interest both in sunrise and sunset. This one was captured midday with the Lee big stopper.

Jasper prowling the neighborhood sage in search of things to sniff or chase. I think purple suits Jasper. Maybe it complements his blue merle coloring.

Male Starling checking out the roof as a potential nest...must have liked it as they moved in upstairs!

This big dominant male was resting on the top of a rocky outcrop from where he can see large parts of his territory

The rugged beauty of the Badlands draws visitors from around the world. These striking geologic deposits contain one of the world’s richest fossil beds. Ancient horses and rhinos once roamed here. The park’s 244,000 acres protect an expanse of mixed-grass prairie where bison, bighorn sheep, prairie dogs, and black-footed ferrets live today. - NPS

 

My oldest daughter and her boyfriend climb out onto one of the many formations to get a better look of the park.

A Roseate Spoonbill walks in front of a group of Snowy and Great Egrets, stopping to scan over them ever so often.

Actually, I think this Yellow Warbler was looking for a potential mate, after all, it's that time of year. By the way, this is one of the first shots I took with my new camera.

 

Thank you for stopping by and for leaving me a comment! Have a great day!

This Grackle is checking things out. He decided to stay and partake of the bird seed that I put out!

Thanks so much for your visits and I wish you all a safe weekend.

Meet Charlie the Chaffinch or Charles III to give him his full title. He always takes the highest branch above our Breakfast Club and waits patiently while the peasants feed before taking his place at the table. If I was to tell you the full story about his favourite sound you would not believe me so i will try to video it.

Blue Tit deciding where to eat today. He has a choice of five feeders... Fat Balls or Sunflowers Seed... or even Peanut Butter.

Just love these maps!

This Bald Eagle had a nest nearby. He remained perched for over a half hour then flew away. He returned about twenty minutes later with the remains of something (fish ?) to bring back to the nest..
