BirdBrains of Austin: July 2008
http://birdbrainsofaustin.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Back Yard Birder site. Will post photos of birds and keep counts of the types and include interesting stories as they occur to me. Sunday, July 13, 2008. Late March through Arpil roundup. Culled through my pictures to update the old bird blog. Here's a few cedar waxwings from a flock that kept coming back to my backyard pecan tree to feed on the tassles March 29 through March 31. Splurged on a new camera, a Nikon D60 10.1 Megapixel, and the dove on nest photos from 4-10 are among the first I took:. Not p...

BirdBrains of Austin: WaxWings again today
http://birdbrainsofaustin.blogspot.com/2009/04/waxwings-again-today.html
Back Yard Birder site. Will post photos of birds and keep counts of the types and include interesting stories as they occur to me. Tuesday, April 28, 2009. Saw the Cedar WaxWings up in the backyard neighbors Pecan tree again. You hear them before you see them. They're almost always in flocks and they have a high, thin almost whispered call note. The flock sounds almost ghostly. I didn't get any pix from today, but see my other post from today for pix from last year. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Here it is 12:22 am and there is a male mockingbird calling at the top of his voice. Very strange. Over the last week I've heard him calling for a mate any time from Midnight to 4 am Never heard of this before. Talk about desperate. ;-). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Back Yard Birder site. Will post photos of birds and keep counts of the types and include interesting stories as they occur to me. Tuesday, September 18, 2007. Heard the great horned owl in the back yard this last weekend. As usual, I couldn't get a shot of him in the dark, but I did get these shots of a GHO at the Aquarium in Vancouver. This was an injured captive female used for public outreach. We were in Vancouver for our Honeymoon, Aug. 11-15. These we're taken on the 12th. Links to this post. Links...

Dipu took this shot of a female red-bellied woodpecker in his backyard just minutes ago. Links to this post. Sharp shinned Hawk and Owl Pellet exploded! Also pulled apart the owl pellet.

Back Yard Birder site. Will post photos of birds and keep counts of the types and include interesting stories as they occur to me. Sunday, February 08, 2009. Great backyard bird count coming up Feb. 13-16! I know. Long time, no blog. Got caught up since taking a day job in April. Still, I've been checking out the birds. Next week is the GBBC. Really easy to do. Just stand in your yard for at least 15 minutes, note the birds you see, and then report them. Go here. For more info and rules.
