Five On The Wing – #42
It’s hard to think of better things
when watching birds fly on the wing
the wind so strong it blows them here
in dips and circles and far and near.
~~, excerpt from “Birds on the Wing”
Belted Kingfisher
(hunting the backyard marsh pond)
Red-breasted Nuthatch
(my pair just left week ago, they were a joy!)
Blue Jay
(I always hear & know when they are around)
Western Cattle Egret
(they started arriving last week)
Cedar Waxwings
(one of my favorite year-round birds to photograph)
