Mourning Doves are among my favorites. Smiling That Grackle looks quite surprised that you caught him, @plantladylin.

Depending on how they perch, Bluebirds look cutely plump. We are blessed that they are still hanging around.

Here is a Mourning Dove with an intruding Bluebird. :)

At least my powerline photos show birds this time. Hilarious!

Our duck was quacking up a storm overnight. She's kept in a cage/shelter thing at night , but can see what's going on around her. What time it was, I don't know... it was dark. I fumble around for a flashlight, figuring a feral is just prowling around. Stepping onto the porch, I expect to hear just bugs, but was greeted with the song of a nearby Sedge Wren. What was he doing singing at that hour? Maybe he was telling Fluffy to be quiet!
