Due to a lack of rain lately some of the local ponds are drying up, but these birds seem to be enjoying it.
The twittering of birds is one of the most pleasing nature sounds that can ever be. More than water splashing, more than the wind swooshing, more than raindrops falling, more than leaves rustling.
Because like us, the birds are alive.
Birdsong has had a large influence on the development of music. Lot of musicians and composers have incorporated it in their compositions. One example is Beethoven's sixth symphony.

I can see why the pigeons are nervous. Every time I go outside for a cigarette, it kinda freaks me out. That shadow moving fast in the corner of your eye.
Bronze birds who sometimes get along with each other - but are best separate with a human head in between!

It's been a while since a did a textured bird pic, so I thought I would have a go at this Woodpecker.
Just another shot from the dive at Bodega Bay the other day. I am sick so there will be no exciting birding adventures today. :(
We get these birds at the new place, not really sure what sort of bird it is, but they are quite timid.
If the "early bird gets the worm" then what do I get? :) I'm up and out before the birds wake up.....this bluebird was on her box before the sun came up. The glow of the sun was just peeking through behind her house.
Bird watching with a high zoom camera. This one zooms to 60X power at 20 megapixels, but can be set to 120X at 9 megapixels, which is what I set it for this video. Enjoy!
Taken just out side my home in Cochin. There were a lot of insects on the ground - and they were taking off one by one - it was a buffet for the birds - and my cats. Took a lot of photos that day - this was one of the best among them.
Also, this is the first image that I'm publishing that I've taken with my new camera - a Sony A6000(mirrorless). Very excited with it.
