ReplyDeleteA wonderful post to read... beautiful birds.
ReplyDeletethat's a cool sculpture! i was thrilled to see my first indigo bunting here this week! :)
ReplyDeletei'll link in tomorrow.
Great birds! We left our Indigo Buntings behind in Florida when we relocated to NE Illinois this week, but they seem to be flying slower than us as they are not here yet.
ReplyDeleteEach so different, and each perfect! WOW to snapping a heron building a nest!!! And the two buntings are so sweet. The courting theme is just amazing, the pictures you got to make this up.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos! That bronze statue is impressive!
ReplyDeleteI like your courting couples. The kingfisher statue is really impressive.
ReplyDeleteCute post, Anni! Love seeing the couples. The Terns are one of my favorites. Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteAnother great post Anni. Always enjoy these, thank you :)
ReplyDeleteGreat courting shots! Love those terns! We don't see those here.
ReplyDeleteThose terns look like they might be a total riot to watch! Great shots as always Anni!
ReplyDeleteThose terns sure look like they are getting serious Anni. Thanks for hosting once again. Hey don't look too hard for our European Goldfinch in Texas unless you're jumping on the next flight over here.
ReplyDeleteLovely shots. I love the terns and the sculpture.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bird photos Anni! I love the Indigo Buntings. And the Terns are too funny :-)
ReplyDeleteYou always have such great captures and so many different birds! Thanks for being such a great hostess!
ReplyDeleteGotta love those courtship displays!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos!
The royal terns are really beautiful, but looks like they hang around the coastal areas specifically. Will have to travel to get that one I suppose. Love how you captioned these. I was so glad to see you were able to get the indigo buntings. Such a vivid blue!
ReplyDeleteNice photos and love the infos on their habitat. Beautiful birds.
ReplyDeleteThis was a really nice photo series! Yes, it's that time of year - good to see so many birds renewing the annual courtship rituals.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your images!
