I haven’t had may walks out in pasture just to see the birds, but I have captured a few birds here and there. And this post was postponed a couple of times due to goat births, so I’ve added to it (or upgraded the pictures) also. Of course, I have to start with my two girls enjoying their freedom from the chicken pen.
Miss Goose and Buffy
an Eastern meadowlark in pasture
a juvenile dove in my yard
There are sooo many dickcissels this summer.
I think I have bluebirds nesting in my yard or barnyard this year, which is pretty awesome.
barn swallow
Blue jay
Just a sparrow–but they like to pose for me.
juvenile brown headed cow bird (according to the Merlin app)
rose breasted grosbeak
While I was walking I had a fledgling fly past me and land. I did see it on the ground.
the Merlin app says it is a baby rose-breasted grosbeak
I tried to move it somewhere that it could move a bit easier. It was not happy, but I hope I was successful.
I know this is not a bird, but it’s still cute.
bobolink
never seen one just sitting like this on a post before
happily singing
I still love my bobolinks the most (of the wild birds).
Mr. Peacock
And since I started with the geese, I suppose I should finish with Mr. Peacock.
