My world with Nature.

Photographs, and a few words about the birds that visit the garden and those that I manage to see.


A couple of Geese

Category: My Garden Birds | Posted: Fri May 01, 2009 4:23 am

Back to the lagoon for this picture of a couple of brant geese. I think the black and white is really neat looking.

Now the male Red-winged Blackbird.

Category: My Garden Birds | Posted: Thu Apr 30, 2009 4:27 am

Only right that I should add the male red-wing. As spring arrives they send out their call from the reeds and the bullrushes and any other place that is close to the marshy places that they prefer.

A pair of hooded mergansers for today.

Category: My Garden Birds | Posted: Wed Apr 29, 2009 5:18 am

We have three species of mergansers in the area, this one is the most colorful. This is a pair of Hooded Mergansers. Quite attractive birds.

Back to the birds, a female.

Category: My Garden Birds | Posted: Tue Apr 28, 2009 5:14 pm

This is a juvenile female, Red-winged Blackbird. Not always the one the captures the photographers eye, but this one looked rather special.

OK, here is the first insect.

Category: My Garden Birds | Posted: Mon Apr 27, 2009 10:48 pm

Just a small click beetle, Ctenicera suckleyi,to start off with. It is also the first insect taken this year as the weather has started to warm up a little.

The male Anna's hummingbird.

Category: My Garden Birds | Posted: Mon Apr 27, 2009 5:37 am

As with most species of birds, the male is usually the more colorful one, this applies to the Anna's Hummingbird which I have added a picture of here.

A female Red Crossbill.

Category: My Garden Birds | Posted: Sun Apr 26, 2009 5:23 am

It looks as it would be hard to eat with a bill like the Crossbills have. They stay around as long as there is a good supply of pine cones in the forests. They must drink a lot because of something in the pine seeds, so they visit the garden for water.

Hummingbird in Winter

Category: My Garden Birds | Posted: Sat Apr 25, 2009 4:22 pm

This is an Anna's Hummer that I took during the winter. How they make it is beyond me, not so much the cold but where is the food besides what I put out.

Another Hummingbird.

Category: My Garden Birds | Posted: Sat Apr 25, 2009 4:51 am

We have a few Rufous hummers that are here for the summer, but this one, the Anna's, they stay the year round. This is the female. Are we tired of birds yet, I have loads of insects photos.

A pair of Bushtits.

Category: My Garden Birds | Posted: Fri Apr 24, 2009 4:04 pm

I have posted a bushtit image earlier but this time there are two. The reason I wanted to post this picture is to show the only difference that we see, the female has the yellow eye.
