Snow Goose, Snow Goose, Snow Goose

Thousands and thousands and thousands of Snow Goose are now on their way migrating back to north but taking a layover at the Middle Creek Wildlife management area in Pennsylvania right.  They will be there for a short time, so we hurried and drove to see them!

We can't get too close to them but watching them from a distance.  We watched them enjoying moving around gracefully on the water, we watched them take off and put on an air show right Infront of our eyes! I wished I had more powerful camera lens but still here are some photos for you to enjoy!

Bird outside my Window - American Robin


Outside my Window _ Cardinal

The Cardinal is a colorful songbird that is native to North America, and is well-known for its bright red plumage and distinctive crest on its head. The male Cardinal is a brilliant red color, with a black mask around its eyes and a thick, conical orange bill. The female Cardinal has a more subdued brownish-red coloring, with a red crest and a dark bill. The Cardinal is a beloved and iconic bird that is a symbol of hope and good fortune in many cultures. Its striking appearance and beautiful song make it a favorite among birdwatchers and backyard bird enthusiasts alike. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to capture some images of them when they visited my neighborhood.

Outside of my window - Robin

A Robin out side of my window on a raining day: A poem from Noël Coward As I awoke this morning When all sweet things are born A robin perched upon my sill To signal the coming dawn. The bird was fragile, young and gay And sweetly did it sing The thoughts of happiness and joy Into my heart did bring. I smiled softly at the cheery song Then as it paused, a moment’s lull, I gently closed the window And crushed its fucking skull. http://www.noelcoward.net/html/sketches.html Find it in Noel Coward, Collected Verse -1999 Methuen edition.

Outside my Window - Morning Dove

The Mourning Dove, also known as the American Mourning Dove, is a medium-sized bird that is native to North America. It is a member of the dove family and is known for its distinctive cooing call, which is a familiar sound in many parts of the continent. The Mourning Dove is a slender bird with a long, pointed tail and a plump body. It has a brownish-gray plumage that is speckled with black spots on the wings and back, and a pale buff-colored underside. The male and female look similar, but the male can be identified by a iridescent patch on its neck. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to capture some images of them when they visited my neighborhood.

Outside my window - Starling (Black Bird)

One day, I took some photos of Sterlings outside my window and noticed that each photo showed the birds carrying small pieces of material, presumably to use in building their nest. It was amazing to see each bird with something in its mouth! I now have a better understanding of how these birds construct their nests.

Outside my window - English Sparrow

very morning, I wake up to the delightful sound of birds chirping outside my window. For a long time, I wasn't able to capture decent pictures of these birds, but that all changed when I purchased my second bridge camera, which has a powerful 50x zoom. Here are some of the bird pictures I have taken with my new camera. After doing some research, I learned that the sparrow is the most common bird in the area around my house.
