I wanted to show a couple more birds from my Texas trip. This was a pair of Cow Birds that were on a fence.
Here is a close-up of one. This is a cool bird that I don't see in NE Ohio.
This was a Boat Tailed Grackle near the same fence giving someone an earful.
This was the same bird in my front yard near the lamp post.
This is the first photo of one of the American Robins that winter over in Ohio checking for some food in the grass.
The snow is gone and we are having a small snowfall today.Visit some great critters photos from the link above.
I look forward to seeing the robins return. Take good care of them while they're in Ohio. ;-)

As in the previous post, the first two birds seem to chat with pleasure! Very fine sequence, Fishing Guy. Great details in these pictures.
ReplyDeleteCow birds i have never heard of them before. Nice photos
ReplyDeleteNice bird shots Fishing Guy!
ReplyDeleteI really like that lone shot of one of the cow birds.
Thanks for the birthday wishes!

Cool birdies. Gee, I hope the snow will soon leave your area.
ReplyDeleteGreat bird shots and love how you have framed them.
ReplyDeleteAh, yes, the birds are delightful... you really have a knack of capturing these fine feather critters!
ReplyDeleteGood job... I love how you frame in the ovals... it's a nice touch.

For some reason,this year,in our part of Florida,we haven't seen too many robins.But we have had more cardinals than normal.Global warming perhaps?
ReplyDeleteLove the cow bird-what eyes!
ReplyDeleteI love your presentation!
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed looking at your bird photos. Thanks for sharing them with us.

No robins here...yet! But there's signs of spring around - and that's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI don't get it, what were they on the fence about?
ReplyDeleteJust kidding, great shots!

Beautiful pictures, Tom. I saw Grackles when I was at Tybee Island in October.
ReplyDeleteOur Robins are starting to come back --so I am hoping that spring is just around the corner...
Have a great Sunday.
Hugs,
Betsy
I've seen Cowbirds out here... I think. You got some great shots.
ReplyDeletePretty neat photos. Those grackles are awful in Austin and near businesses. We stopped in San Marcos and there were hundreds in just one tree. Spooky!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you captured the eye in the first one Tom.
ReplyDeleteGrackle!! A great sounding name. I Like the robins you get over there too!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful series. I like the templates you used to make these photos.
ReplyDeleteLove how you masked/framed the photos. Gives them a vintage feel :)
