Um. Don’t ask, but I think this photo will give you an clue.

How much did I get done around here today?

In The Central Valley
Okay, it’s just some birds, a sky and a moon … and part of me thinks “Meh”. But then … well … there are some birds. And sky. And a moon. So there’s that.

A Whole Lot Of Birds
We had thought perhaps we’d get to check out some wildlife today, but it just wasn’t to be. Instead I will share something from January 1. Please count the birds and get back to me on the number, as I am too lazy to count them myself.

Pelican
Working with birds isn’t my strong point. But … well … pelican. So whatever.

Another Bird … Or Three (if blurs count!)
One more and then the walk must take place! (Truth be told I should be staying home cleaning a VERY messy house. Oh well! It’ll wait.)
This is the black-necked stilt with some blurry coots in the background (but who cares about an old coot, right? 😉 )

Three Birds
Good morning, world!
This is from yesterday’s quick loop with the birds. I know the one in the water is an avocet (American avocet, I’m guessing), but I don’t know about the two flying. Anyone?
Good Morning Birds!
Revisiting my photos from January and February. (I was actually searching for something that might fit the “Indigo” part of the rainbow, as I’m doing a rainbow series. Looks like indigo might have to be skipped over, as I want just the right thing and nothing is screaming, “Pick me! Pick me!”) Typical me: as I am searching I am distracted by something else.
Ah well … why not share a few of these birds, with which (whom?!) I will say good morning!?
Cranes & Geese in Fog (I), 2.13.15
Oh how I love these birds. When I look through all the shots — and believe me there are a ton! — I get the sound of the birds in my head as well. They are not timid and quiet little things, to be sure.
On this particular day we saw birds NOT of a feather flocking together. Or something like that. Cranes. Geese. Egrets. All on the field together. What a sight!
I don’t think I managed to get many shots with more than one egret, but trust me, they were there. Here you can see one in the front. He looks as if he’s posing and saying, “Well yes, it IS all about me!” Or maybe I just have a crazy imagination. (And ironically, as I look at this post, I see my watermark blocking much of said egret. I guess it’s all about me instead. Hah!)

Good Morning World!
When we were visiting the birds it was rather foggy. We stopped to see these little guys, who were visible, but only a bit, due to both the brush and the fog. This is my first shot, when I was still getting my head in gear for the fun day. As is typical with me, it’s doubtful it could be a printable shot, but it is the first shot. No doubt there. It was morning, so I’m sharing it as my good morning shot.
