1-2-3 Medium Bird Jubilee – #27
Other than single-specie showcasing, I realized it’s been a while on sharing a series of favorite captures of my winter medium-sized birds.
Well, that folder is busting with a variety of single faves, so let’s get the party started with this seven!
Brown Thrasher
American Robin
Hermit Thrush
Mourning Dove
Northern Mockingbird
Cedar Waxwing
Red-winged Blackbird (male)

The American Robin is one that often catches my eye. So different from ours. Good set with some attitudes as well.
Thank you, Sandy! I have never been able to figure out why our two robins are so much different for a ‘robin’! I think yours is the prettiest!
Excellent captures, Donna. Esp. the mockingbird and its reflection. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you, Eliza! I’m going to have to name my mockers, they like following me around. 😁
🙂
I look forward most to seeing my first robins and RWBs this spring. In the meantime I get to look at your lovelies 😊
Happy to share mine with you any time! 😊
Another nice collection 😊😊.
Thanks, Ted!
Fabulous series… I like the clarity in these pictures!
Thank you, Indira!
Hmm, doves and thrushes. Now I know the size of your thrashers and waxwings. Thanks for posting this lot. Seeing things sorted by size is a big help for someone who is from outside the area.
Thank you, IJ!
Your images are lovely. I saw a Brown Thrasher for the first time this month in FL. Unfortunately all my images are blurry. My camera focused on the branches in front of it. I kept one just for ID and the memory.
The Hermit Thrush was a great catch! They’re so cute. Thanks for sharing your Jubilee of Seven!
Thank you, Deborah! Great on the Brown Thrasher lifer, photo ID for your file! Next FL visit, you’ll get ’em focused!
Love this series. I have only seen a Cedar Waxwing once at the dunes years ago at the dunes and I’ve been hoping to capture another one ever since.
Thank you, Pepper! Waxwings are so darn captivating, I love their year-round presence. Before moving here couple years ago, I had hardly ever seen one myself, and had poor photos too. Now they’re one of my favorites!
Great photos
Thank you, Sheree!
Wonderful gallery, Donna. I love seeing Cedar Waxwings. They remind me of masked bandits.
Thank yo, Egidio! Waxwings are a big favorite among many, me included!
Beautiful collection, Donna.
Thank you, Michael!
Very nice collection and I agree with Eliza about the mockingbird and its reflection. It is my favourite image. (Suzanne)
Thank you, Suzanne!
A lovely spring showcase Donna. A nice capture of the Mockingbird reflection.
Thank you, Ashley!
The Northern Mockingbird carries off the palm for me from this excellent selection .
Thank you, Tom!
They are all beautiful Donna – I can hear the Red-winged Blackbird’s song from here! I saw my first Robin today. We do have Robins overwinter but I had not seen any – who would want to come out in that cold and snowy weather anyway? It was wearing its disgruntled face as grubs and worms were still frozen solid at 20 F.
Thank you, Linda! Yay on your first robin! Yes, they do have such a look, makes me laugh when you catch it just right in a photo.
I always said that Robins are the original “angry birds”!
Love this post, and I really enjoy your rhyming titles . 😉 Funny story, the day after you had replied to my comment about fox sparrows, a staff member at the Audubon was excitedly telling me how she had seen one, and was watching carefully as they only stay for a short time!
Thank you, Julie! 😊 How cool on the Fox Sparrow story!! I returned to try to relocate ‘my’ Fox Sparrow several days ago, and no luck. I was sure it had moved on, trying to get home for Spring all handsome in its colors!
