Most, again, are so common, you're probably getting bored with my posts!!! We have had some very cold days; dreary, wet, and near freezing. So I haven't been going out much. In fact, it's been a 'plus' in a way....I'm getting my house cleaned from ceilings to floor, from boredom. I must admit, it's been a couple of years since I've done a total cleaning. The wild birds would love the webs & tiny spiders I've found lurking in the dark coveys at the back of cupboards Maybe I should hold an open house for my feathered buddies~~[Just kidding]....

Beautiful selection of photos this morning! You remind me that our house needs a "deep" cleaning.
ReplyDeleteI never get bored with your birds. Most of them are ones we do not have around here. The stilts are beautiful! Wearing tuxedos and pink stockings. I like the Avocet's pretty wings. And the last Pelican picture is so beautiful. The feather detail and the big beak. The Merganser looks just a bit loony with his crazy hairdo.
ReplyDeleteI could never be bored with these! For the life of me, I can never get a kestrel shot. I think I have one, and it is not decent! And they are so pretty! Love the pelicans...I am hoping to make a trip to a place about an hour from here in the hopes of seeing some. We have seen them in the spring two or three times.
ReplyDeleteNONE of us are bored! And these aren't all common to me! I don't even know if I've ever seen that Hermit Thrush! We just got back from a hike and took a little side drive and saw a Kestrel...made our day! Hope you have a beautiful weekend! Gotta go see when the Cowboys come on! heehee! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful birds!
ReplyDeleteThe Kestrel is my favorite of this group. I have never seen one in the wild, but saw one at a wildlife rehab place.
I could never be bored looking at your pictures! I'm particularly fond of the brown pelican and the kestrel.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos! Thank you for hosting!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what make you thing these are boring? I .love them all
ReplyDeleteHello Anni,

Best regards, Irma
my favorite of all birds is the brown pelican and this is an excellent shot of one.. todays favorite is the black and white stilts with pink legs. LOVE them...
ReplyDeleteNo Anni, I'm never bored of seeing your birds from Texas or reading about your exploits, house cleaning or otherwise. My faves today are the kestrel and those sleeping stilts.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks once again for the opportunity to visit you in Texas amnd to ,share our own birds.
common is okay...I love pigeons and doves...can you believe...
ReplyDeleteGreat set of photos but the kestrel for me is the favourite. Keep well Diane
ReplyDeleteNever ever bored with your wonderful birds. Cleaning cupboards, now that *would* bore me (I think, anyway, can’t really remember )). Hope your weather warms up a bit soon ... we too have caught the tail end of the winter storms, but it warms up mid day. Low 40s at night ... Good sleeping weather.
ReplyDeleteSince I have been hold up sick for 6 weeks tomorrow from this RSV, very few outings...I too have been doing inside chores. I have not had the energy to tackle deep cleaning though...not yet. I love all of your birds, never apologize for anything...sometimes I have the same visitors to the garden outside my window and repeat, repeat, repeat ;) My favorite of your shares is the gorgeous Red Breasted Merganser~ Hugs
ReplyDeleteAwww - so lovely!
