As I was sifting through the pictures I took this past week, I came across several that didn’t get picked to be in a post. I didn’t want them to feel rejected, and it seemed a shame to file them away, unseen by any eyes but my own, so I decided to give them a post of their very own.
I now present ten, never before seen photos selected to star in the Sunday Evening Post!
American Goldfinch in the early morning sun.Gray Catbird making his first appearance of the season.
Tufted Titmouse – number one.
Tufted Titmouse – number two. I couldn’t decide which picture I liked better.Yellow-rumped Warbler. His colors have really darkened up since fall.Red-winged Blackbird – I’m pretty sure he was fussing with the neighbor’s cat.Young Pine Siskin – first fledgling photo of the spring.Female Red-bellied Woodpecker. She made several trips to the feeder, so I am thinking she has a brood of babies.Brown Thrasher dropping in for a bite to eat.American Robin enjoying a refreshing bath in the fountain.
Always a beautiful and most enjoyable array of your birds Kathy. The Gray Catbird is interesting, as we have a Green Catbird which sounds like a cat howling or a woman in distress, but does not mimic other birds as yours does or as the other Bowerbird family do, to which it is related..
Our Catbird mostly sounds like a cat mewing or a baby crying, but sometimes sounds like a frog croaking! The fellow in this post is still a bit shy, but I imagine he will get used to me hanging around. 🙂
Nice set of pics! I am trying to get a Red Wing squawking and displaying his red stripes! Nice capture!
This fellow made it easy as he stood on the branch for about ten minutes just fussing and showing his red stripes. Hope you get your photo. 🙂
Great shots Kathy! 🙂
Thank you! 🙂
Beautiful photos, as always! Thanks for the side trip down memory lane to the Saturday Evening Post as well — my parents subscribed to that and to the Reader’s Digest, and I’d always try to snatch both to read first. I’d forgotten about that completely until I saw your title!
I wondered how many people would get the title. Glad it brought back good memories. 🙂
So glad you gave them their ‘moment in the sun’ 🙂 I especially love the Woodpecker and the Cat Bird– thanks for sharing these beauties.
Simply looking at birds makes me so happy. Thank you bringing a smile to my face.
