Birds…I like Birds…

Here’s the line waiting to get in…and in the rain no less.

Can’t you just hear the two on the left telling the other guy that “two’s company – three’s a crowd”??

This is a great post! You know...here's a secret. I used to be terrified of birds. Not so much if they just would sit in the trees and sing, but if they came toward me I was a shaking, palpitating, sweaty mess. LOL. I've gotten control of that, though, and now enjoy them...more. :-) Love the quotes you used!

What kind of hawk was that? It was an awesome shot. I'm such a sucker for the hawklike birds. And the cedar waxwings that come every winter. And goldfinches. And mockingbirds....

Dear Enchanted,
I believe it's a Red Tailed Hawk. I too love their power and beauty, but my all time forever favorite still has to be the mockingbird.

One night a mockingbird was singing in the tree outside my bedroom, and I had to get up to grab a piece of paper and write down its song. That was fun, trying to translate mockingbird into English.
I came upon a golden eagle once in the mountains. It was standing on the road, a rabbit or squirrel in its claws. It stood as high as the hood of my car. Awesome. Biggest bird I ever saw.

Chris, that's amazing. I didn't know they got that big. I bet it was fierce looking too.

I've been told that the mockingbird that sings at night is a male that didn't find a mate. :(
