Recuperation journey: Sharing is caring

I forgot to post this photo from last week. Our feathered friends sharing a snack.

Recuperation journey: Morning get-together

These guys seem to have a daily routine of stopping by the forsythia. They keep me entertained! 

I took this photo through the slider. They would have taken off if I had opened the door (obviously).

Have a peaceful Tuesday.

Recuperation journey: ID needed

Update: I'm told it's a young mockingbird!

Not sure what kind of bird was seeking shelter from the rain under the patio table Sunday. Looks quite young but I need help identifying.

It's getting dark so I guess my photo fun is over for the day.

Seven turkey vultures decided to stop by this morning.

Recuperation journey: Bored meeting

I looked up Wednesday afternoon and there were some of my feathered friends gathered for an impromptu meeting. One on the left was just taking off when I took this. 

Recuperation journey: Up on the roof

The neighbor's shed is a popular spot for our feathered friends. 
There are a lot of them around and they're certainly active this morning. I took this through the window, and hope to capture some more photos.

Recuperation journey: Good morning

I was up before the birds this morning. I had to wait for them so I could practice my wildlife photography.
Have a great Tuesday!

Recuperation journey: On top of the world

My feathered friends spend a lot of time on top of the forsythia. Sometimes I catch them alone, other times they are hanging out in a big group.

Posin' for me Monday morning. Don't they look like bookends?
