The Geese are still on the move!

Monday, February 11, 2013

I heard the Geese again, this time I had my camera, hope you can see them.



Was able to get pictures of other different birds, I think this is a Nuthatch, not sure, she was fast getting seed and flying off.

This one looks like a Warble, not sure though.

Junco's I think, they had a sweet song.

other birds



I hope all the Geese I am seeing is a sigh of good things to come, never heard so many and they fly at night, and very early in the morning.

This is a great quote, reminds me I am not too old, I am out there doing things now that I did in my 20's, maybe slower, but I am out there.


Have a great week everyone, have a new adventure. Hugs to everyone, Jackie.

    Thank you for the lovely bird pictures. I love to hear the geese as they fly above honking out encouragement to each other - sort of like us Sparkers! We had a couple of noisy pairs land in our pond this morning. I think they were feeling a little frisky...
I think your second bird picture may be a titmouse and the third a chickadee.
Also, thanks for stopping by my blog,Something to Ponder, and commenting.
Have a great week!

    Love the birds Jackie :) The geese are somewhat confused with the crazy weather going up and down. I'm feeding my little critters everyday out there, and they know I'll be there :) The snow is really beautiful in your background picture too. Makes everything look so fresh and clean. I've always loved the snow, I'm a winter baby too so maybe that's why? Good to know another bird lover. That warbler also vaguely resembles a female cardinal too. Beautiful pictures though, thank you Jackie :)

    Under the geese, the second bird might be a chickadee. Yes, spring must be on the way!

    I loved the quote (so true!), and these birds were just lovely! It takes so much patience taking pictures of birds, I am never patient enough! :)

    I like C.S. Lewis. Great quote.
Did you see the colors of the Geese? Or were they two far up. I love watching Geese fly.
Not sure what type of bird the 2nd photo is. Maybe a Titmouse, or a Flycatcher? It's cute!
The bird hanging upside down looks like a Mountain Chickadee.

We have them here too. They are real playful birds.
That is a Dark-eyed Junco, or Oregon Junco. I love their feathers when the sun hits them. They glisten.
The others are Lark Sparrows. Looks like you have a great variety of birds. Love all of the pics!

    I love the quote! We are only as old as we think we are so I am still around 25 even if my drivers license says I am 47. Maybe it is as inaccurate as the weight on those things! hahaha!
I loved the pics of all those birds. I love the little junko's. I think we have those as well as little chickadees that look somewhat similar!
I still think those geese are making their way home to Minnesota for the spring. Let's hope so anyway.
Thanks for posting those wonderful pics and I hope you are having a great Monday.
Hugs, Holly

    Do you think the geeze are going to Florida to get away from the snow? That is always so special to see that and love the birds in your yard! Bob saw a pair of bluebirds yesterday in our back yard..they stopped on the electric box on the way to the pond. He said it was the brightest blue he ever saw on the male! We have seen a couple Ospreys on their nests here on top of light poles. One day we saw one chase an eagle that got too close to the nest! It was so cool!
Yes, we are not to old to make new adventures! I wish I had been as active back 20 years ago as I am now! emoticon emoticon

    Enjoyed your bird photos. Is it the type of bird feed that you put out in your yard that brings so mant different types of birds that are indigent to your area?

Hope that snow melts fast! Love the quote. Enjoy your day.

    I hope the "goose gauge" is good sign too! We have had exceptionally mild weather this year for the most part, but I miss the colors of Spring! emoticon emoticon emoticon
