From my book...


I hope now that we're back in the 'business' of sharing, that your New Year started with happiness and health. With the lack of getting out because of all the renovations being done around Anni's; finishing three rooms so far and beginning the huge livingroom this weekend, I am resorting to sharing some photos taken thru the cellphone from the bird photo portfolio that I had published several years ago for my own Texas Reference Book. In the last pages of the book, I have recorded where each bird was seen [location] and month/year. All the photos shared are from my camera over the decade plus of birding in my own vicinity. {number of photos are over 200, but I share just a few for now}....







From top to bottom:

  • Bobolink [rare]

  • Bobwhite Quail

  • Groove-billed Ani

  • Lazuli Bunting [rare]

  • Whooping Crane

  • White-eyed Vireo

      Hello, Anni
      I hope your home improvements will be done soon and you can sit back and enjoy all your hard work. Wonderful variety of birds. The Groove-billed Ani is on my wish list along with the pretty Lazuli Bunting. I have seen the others you have post. Thank you for hosting. Have a happy weekend.

      I love seeing your photos and having the ID. We've only seen Bobolinks one time and that was exciting! Hope things goes well with your house this week! Hugs!

      I don't know how you do it Anni. A full refurb and finding time to blog. And you still have the biggest one to do! I'm in awe of your work ethic. Therefore thanks for the weekly link. Happy 2023.

      I especially like the Bobwhite. I saw many when living in Dallas, Texas until 1993, but not since then. Good luck with your ambitious project!

      The Ani's tail is spectacular! And the Bobolink...I had no IDEA they look anything like this, it is not what I had picture in my head. So what exactly are you doing to all your rooms? I had thought it was just painting, but it sounds much more extensive! I hope you will be showing before and after photos!

      Those renovations are taking a while. Be sure to post pictures when it's all done, especially if you have before and after shots.
