Mostly Colourful Birds

On a beautiful day I am enjoying the local birds.

These RED-winged Blackbirds, male first and then female.

 

 

A Great BLUE Heron,



 

I don't think that house is big enough, besides the swallows have already signed the rental agreement for the season.

 

GOLDEN Crowned Sparrows are quite well camouflaged, in the shade and amongst the sticks,

but much easier to spot in the grass and in a ray of sunshine. 

 

 

 

"The reason birds can fly and we can't is simply because they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings.”

― J M Barrie, The Little White Bird

 

 

I get an intense stare from this BLACK Crow.

 

 

I loved this picture of a single Seagull chasing an Eagle, obviously the Eagle has done something to really annoy the Gull.

 

 

 

 

A couple pictures of just the Eagle, a magnificent bird.

 

 

 

“That the birds of worry and care fly over you head, this you cannot change, but that they build nests in your hair, this you can prevent."

 

- Chinese Proverb

 

 

 

A one legged Canada Goose, or maybe the other leg is just neatly tucked away.

 



 

“The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.”
― Willie Nelson
 

 

No birds in this picture but I love these little stepping stones.

 

 

 

One painting this week, and another food painting, for my food card series.

It is called "Fig Heart" and shows the wonderful colour of a ripe "Dessert King" Fig:

 

 

 It is the latest of my Food cards, which include a recipe card using the pictured ingredient. What is the recipe for this card, take a look:
