Thanks for the kindly compliment Mike.
It's mating season and the Flamingo was trying his best to attract the ladies.:-P

Oh no...it sounds like he was making a big mistake. Or perhaps not so particular.;-)a:-P

Many thanks, Mike! It was a gag me with a spoon moment.;-)a

Yep...I know exactly what a "gag me with a spoon moment" is, Steve. I've had it happen to me personally, when I eat too fast and shove the spoon in too far. :p:lol:

Thank you very much. I submitted the band numbers for three different Oystercatchers to the American Oystercatcher Work Group. I can track where they have been. This one has been from Florida to Connecticut.

sogs...I've always found it very interesting to get the band information back from a bird that was wearing a numbered band.

Two excellent captures of the Spanish Sparrow, Cog! Your Spanish Sparrow looks very much like our house sparrow. Our House Sparrow, comes from Europe. It is one of the most well-established invasive species that we have here in the US.

Two wonderful captures of Eastern Bluebirds, Rob! My favorite is the one that is stretching.

Burrowing Owl - some interesting facts concerning this little owl.
Unlike most other owls, burrowing owls are diurnal, or most active during the day. They are very energetic, bobbing up and down when they perch.
They are the only small owl species to perch on the ground and are so terrestrial that when disturbed, they will often run or flatten themselves against the ground, rather than fly away.

Two beautiful Bluebird shots!

Nice one!

Only three this year???? :cry: Like you plan on seeing 10???? :cry: I'd be happy with one in my lifetime! :-D You're so lucky. That's a beautiful shot! Hope you see many more.

Great capture!

Excellent capture! My regret is that the last time I had gone to Florida I didn't know how prevalent Burrowing Owls are in Cape Coral. I'll be ready the next time I go.

Nice shot!

Good capture!

Two nice shots!

Thank you, sogs.
