At home with my father this weekend. He is mad about feeding the birds. There is a miriad of these and other colourful birds hanging out looking for more nuts from his feeders... The bark on the tree is removed from the birds landing. makes it easy for me to identify the perch.

Thanks for stopping by. If you have the time, please honor me with a critique.

Angry Bird by Mark Scheffers

Today I went to the zoo together with my brother.

One of the last cages we passed serves as home for the sea eagles. It seems that one of the eagles waked up on the wrong side of the bed.

His angry look and the low sun result in an cool shot if you ask me. I only needed to level up the shadows a bit to make the bird brighter.

For Madonovan a Kindred Spirit. :)

While taking a walk around the Back Bay in Costa Mesa Saturday afternoon I had to stop to photograph this Bird of Paradise. The back light was gorgeous, and this one was still looking pretty good. The neighborhoods down there are full of these just now. This must be their season.

THE MEANING & SYMBOLISM OF

Also known as Crane flowers, they are distinctive and striking, spectacularly shaped like a bird’s beak and plumage. Bird of Paradise are the 9th wedding anniversary flower.~Teleflora

Momma Owl was keeping her children safe. I caught a glimpse of one of her babies. lf you look at her right eye you will see some feathers sticking up in front of her line of sight. I had been watching this spot for about a month and this was the first sign that her eggs had hatched.
