You all probably already know this about me but I love watching all the birds when I go for my walks at the Desert Botanical Garden. The fact is I love watching birds wherever I am. I'm not a formal watcher with books and binoculars. I just enjoy their company. Today's selection are just a few of the many feathered friends I've observed in the last couple of weeks. Above is a goldfinch enjoying the cool water at one of my favorite garden spots.
Here's a mockingbird I saw perched on top of a sprinkler head.
A peach-faced lovebird harvesting the seeds from some sunflowers.
The always busy cactus wren taking a well deserved break.
And a tiny little hummingbird taking a rest before he flits off in search of more blooms.
They are all captivating in my book!
They are nice to watch indeed. We have every evening a whole group of sparrows flying back and forward from one fence to another, making a lot of noise chatting with each other.
ReplyDeleteNice closeups Sharon. Birds are always entertaining to watch.
ReplyDeleteI love watching birds too, but have no idea about their names.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos Sharon.
Wonderful birds, so fun to see what is out and about.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics of these sweet little creatures, Sharon!
ReplyDeleteI agree! I love the texture and reflectivity of the water in that first shot.
ReplyDeleteoh each of them is so pretty in their own way.
ReplyDeleteYou did a fine job capturing their beauty, Sharon. I have seagulls to watch when I'm walking down by the water in the morning. They are an interesting bunch and funny too.
ReplyDeleteI keep telling ya - Arizona Highways is calling!
ReplyDeleteThe love bird is quite cute.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful post. Fantastic photos.
ReplyDeleteCan't pick a favourite though, they are all exquisite little birds.
