As a youngster one of the first birds I can remember seeing was a Gannet effortlessly overtaking the ferry taking us to Islay in Scotland. Not long after I was on a boat near Bass Rock in the Firth of Forth with them diving into the water all around us for fish and I was hooked.
Over the years I've learnt its official name was Northern Gannet and its scientific name became Morus bassanus, (I still prefer the more evocative local name of Solan Goose and Sula bassana)
I can spend hours at Bempton Cliffs watching them soar back and forth, its probably just as well I don't live closer or I'd be there a lot more than once a year !
The development of my photography skills could probably be tracked through all my old Gannet photos right back to trying to convince the family that the white specs taken with a basic point and shoot film camera at Bass Rock were birds !
Birds are symbols of peace. On this day of mourning in France, we Americans stand with you. We are all French today.
Doris' Serviceberry tree is blooming and I was determined to get a picture of a bird in the rain near one of the blooms. It took quite a while, but a very wet-looking male Goldfinch finally came and posted for me near some blossoms!
NO INVITES OR ICONS PLEASE

We will have to find out what they eat. They are wild birds and get sick if you just give them seeds to eat.
Just returned from a 10 day birding trip to Florida. Visited many different locations, saw SO many "firsts", walked 5-8 miles everyday, met a few great photographers along the way. It will take me weeks to get through the thousands of images!
The nests were SO close together it caused more than a few fights between the different birds.

Yes, I know the wires rise to a V in the middle where they should sag evenly. I might try to fix this sometime.
