We are having such hot weather the birds are really hitting the bird baths. Suppose to get rain tonight and get cooler for rest of the week. 90's are just to hot for us now. Cooler will be high 70's or 80. Summer is here! Lots of baby birds around, too funny to watch them.

Good Morning All, another cool and WINDY day here in NM. Captured some European Starlings bathing this morning. They are funny to watch. After they bathe, they hop as fast as they can for shelter. I guess they want privacy when they preen----I know they are just a common bird, but pretty just the same when the sun is on them and the metallic feathers glisten

I think the chipmunk was frozen with fear hoping the robin would not notice him.

Sweet photo Gail. It looks like it could be from a children's story book.

Thank you all for your wonderful comments. I have to thank GI for getting me hooked on photography and this group in particular for your inspiration. Seeing everyone else great photos made me want to learn how to take a better photo. (and a new camera helped) I had never taken a picture of a bird until last fall. I have learned so much about birds from this group and I thank you all for sharing your experience and photos.

When I was sitting there watching the bluebirds I caught this action in the grass.

Wow, i just got back from Church and am blown away by all the beautiful pics. And I agree, have seen nothing better in any magazines. Love the little painted houses---any thoughts about selling them? I'm certainly interested!

Gyda, I hope your wrens will decide to lay eggs in your pretty little birdhouse. I have been enjoying a pair of bluebirds feeding their babies . I think they will leave their nest while I am away on vacation :~(

"The fruit from the pineapple guava is not picked. It falls, which is the sign it is ready to eat, and then you pick it up.  In Australia, we are all under the impression it is a New Zealand plant, which I now see, turns out to be wrong."
