Teenage dove!!!! :-D

It's always interesting to see bird photos on blogs in other countries because we have such different birds... I thought they, um, migrated? We don't have blue jays or robins - and there was this whole article in the local newspaper about a sort of cardinal from America in this area, they hadn't seen one since 1983.

You got them in action! :)

Those are really great shots !!!

I would love to put in a bird bath, but we have way too many feral cats around here. I had one back in NZ and I loved watching the birds play and bathe in the water..

Awesome action shots!

I loved this series! It is so entertaining to watch the birds take a bath. Love the fluffy air-dried look afterwards, too. :)

Poor birdies. I hope those bathing pictures don't end up on the web. :P

You probably don't want to be showing me these cute little birdies!!...yummy:)

Birdbaths offer such a good backdrop for photo ops. I love the ruffled feathers on those critters.

I love watching these guys splashing. Nice job on the droplets. They look so odd when their feathers are wet - makes me want to pick them up and towel them down.

Great pics! I'd love to have a bird bath, but I'd have six cats plastered to the nearest window if I did!

Love your bird shots, no pun intended! Blue jays are such pretty things!

May 9, 2009 at 2:24 PM

I love to see the birds at the feeders and the birdbaths. I missed a shot of three boat-tailed black birds all sitting on the edge of the bath... they all three took a drink, one at a time and then puffed up their feathers in a display mode, again.. one at a time. It reminded me of The Three Tenors.... very nice.
Thanks for stopping by.

Great action shots of the birds. How fun when you see so much action in your own back yard.

May 9, 2009 at 6:15 PM

Lovely shots of birds that are entirely new to me! Loved the robin in the bath one and the blue jays.
