Going To The Birds

My very favorite place to spend a spring-time Sunday morning is on the patio in my backyard, where the birdsong is exquisitely varied and sung at a pitch that is awe-inspiring.  I’ve often thought I should bring my camera with me.  Today I did.

Female Cardinal




Male Cardinal




A Pair




Red-Headed Woodpecker




Female Purple Finch




Brown Thrasher




Robin Red Breast



Blue Jay


And, my very favorite.  They live here year-round and still, they take my breath away.




“…I’ll come flying through your door, and you’ll know what love is for.  I’m a Bluebird.  I’m a Bluebird.”




“…Touch your lips with a magic kiss, and you’ll be a Bluebird, too…”




“…and at last we will be free.  You’re a Bluebird.  You’re a Bluebird.”




“We’re living in the trees, and we’re flying in the breeze.  We’re the Bluebirds.  We’re the Bluebirds.”
