MooBird

I have seen a few Cowbird order the last couple weeks, but I have struggled to capture a good photograph.

I have talked about Brood parasites in the past. Nature ... its interesting how all forms of life find all kinds of ways to survive.

Gotcha

Sometimes I see a bird and find that I want the photo so bad .. then I follow the bird around for a while, trying to capture a photo. I think this Tufted Titmouse was just having fun with me, but I got the last laugh.

Snake In The Grass

Well, this is different. We were hiking early this week and I almost stepped on the first snake. It was cooler outdoors and he was not moving much. By the time we came to the second snake, it was warmer and he was very active and fast. Good photo Teresa:)

Great Tunes But Missing Feathers

I am fariliy certain that is a Song Sparrow. Another great music maker.

From Wikipedia:

The sparrow species derives its name from its colorful repertoire of songs. Enthusiasts report that one of the songs heard often in suburban locations closely resembles the opening four notes of Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 5. The male uses a fairly complex song to declare ownership of its territory and attract females.

Who knew. As for this particular bird, I am not sure what happed to her tail feathers.
