FOTO FRIDAY: MISSING KODAK MOMENTS FOR THE BIRDS

FOTO FRIDAY and now you are going to say, where's the pic Chaseburgmama? 

I have to admit that this week is dedicated to all the 'missed' Kodak bird moments this week. 

This morning's pic doesn't hold a candle to sight
we beheld earlier in the week...
First there was stunning sunset sunshine showing off our new bird feeder's attraction being used by 2 rose breasted grossbeaks and a gold finch. The symmetry of the birds was perfection with one grossbeak clinging to the feeder's hanging wire, a grossbeak in one corner and the bright yellow of the finch in the opposing corner. After admiring the stunning colors the gold finch left and so did the Kodak moment...


Then, there were the 8 grossbeaks both male and female in the main feeder while the remainder were socially distanced in the sculptural dead Japanese Maple as they awaited a space at the feeder.

Next the red male cardinal, a red bellied woodpecker and oriole showed off their stuff fighting over the jelly at the same popular feeder. 

Yesterday we took Balto for a walk in Goose Island where all the main roads are being recovered but that didn't deter 2 V flying flocks of pelicans overhead. Very awesome.   

An iridescent blue indigo bunting showed up this morning at the main feeder . See below*

Yep, I am missing a lot of bird 'Kodak' moments... I must be slipping.

* Since this posting a purple finch which we haven't seen in eons show up and an additional indigo bunting!

Long time no see

Last week's FOTO FRIDAY was A MOVING

  1. I'm looking forward to being in Minnesota in June for the birds. We don't have so many different varieties here in Arizona and the neighbors complain if I feed them because of the bird poop. It's close living and I want to be a good community member so I only have the hummingbird feeders up. So I really like to indulge them in Minnesota!

  2. Yesterday after a rainfall , the feeders were crazy with colorful birds. 2 Indigo Buntings at the same time, 4 pairs of Baltimore orioles, 2 prs of cardinals and 4/5 sets of rose breasted Grossbeaks. AND the topper was a bird we haven't seen in a long while in the End of the Rainbow Valley, a purple finch. It was quite a party!
