A Mourning Dove. Also had a pair of ringed neck doves visit andone white wing dove but I was unable to get a photo. They were spooked away before I could focus.
Got several shots of Mr. Red Bird. Mrs Red Bird used to be my most frequent visitor in the back yard, but here in the front yard she has made herself scarce. I think she will get used to it by and by and give me a photo shoot.
Nice. We have a pair of mourning doves that hang out in our back yard and seem to return every year. I was curious about the lifespan of doves since these have been coming for a while. I found that the oldest documented dove was over 31 years old! We also have a pair of Cardinals that show up though I haven't seen them this year. That red bird is beautiful.
Bill, for somebody who can't take pictures, you sure do take some good ones. Love the first red bird.
Well, you have to get used to your camera and know how to use it. And there is no substitute for practice and you can see I've had bunches of that. I'm gettring a little better. How you doing down on the farm? You gotten any wind and rain lately?
Not a lot of wind at my house but way too much rain lately. There have been some strong winds in other areas of NC.
My wife has seen a Bald Eagle flying high in the air around our apt. complex, but has only seen it once. She keeps looking for it though. We have some rabbits that love hoppy around the grounds of our apt. complex. What she really wants to see is some wildlife, like Bull or Cow Elk or perhaps a White-Tail Deer. When we lived in northeastern Florida apt. complex, we seen a couple of small hawks circling the complex. Quite a few Geico lizards running around as well as some very funny squirrels running after each other. But, would much rather see the elk, eagle, rabbits and deer. Another reason why we moved back here.
