I call this series "A Beakful of Bugs"

#birds #BirdsOfMastodon #SongSparrow #sparrows #BirdPhotography #birb

a song sparrow standing up with its neck stretched all the way, as to look around. it is still carrying plenty of bugs in its beak
the song sparrow now hopped around and is standing under a beam of sunlight, looking pretty against the background
the song sparrow flew away and landed on a thin leafless branch. it is hiding its face behind the branch a bit, grasping tight to the branch. it is still holding tight to its delicious snacks

The bluebirds in the nest box in our yard have fledged! Here, Papa Bluebird feeds a baby that's bigger than him. The baby pushes him around quite a bit, trying to get more food. #birds #birding #birdsofmastodon #birdphotography #fledgling #bluebird #nature #HoosierMast

Adult male bluebird on the right has his beak (with the food) deep in the baby bluebird's mouth.
Baby bluebird (on the left) pushes the adult bluebird, trying to get every last crumb of food in the transfer. You can see that the only blue is on the fledgling is on the tips of the wing feathers and the rest of the body is covered with mottled white and dark brown feathers.
Baby finally lets the adult go and it flew away almost immediately.

It’s my birthday and I opened my back door to see this gorgeous hawk hanging out. I see hawks often in the trees around my house, including a nesting pair whose arrival marks springtime for me. But I rarely get such a clear and close view, so I’m very grateful for nature’s gift to me today!

I think this pal is a red-shouldered hawk as I don’t see the RTH belly band, but I would love an ID from someone who knows SoCal birds better 😁

Name the species and give its approximate location. Scientific name is a bonus.

The unwanted guest.

The Black-headed gulls are non to happy when an Avocet lands on there nesting island. One soon shoes it off to jeers from the braying crowd.

Family is dropping by tomorrow (FYI, vacuuming and mopping from a walker is not much fun). They want to see birds, so I guess I will find out if birding from a walker is worth the effort. The red headed woodpecker dropped by to say hello. #birds #birding #birdsofmastodon #birdphotography #nature #HoosierMast #woodpecker

JOIN IN friends of the birds:

THREAD: A to Z of birds.

The idea is to create a thread of birds starting with A and ending with Z (if we get that far).

Rules:

1. Common names not Latin names
2. Flexibility with common names (i.e.. American Robin (A) or (R)
3. IMPORTANT: You can post the same letter bird or the next letter forward but not backward.

Don’t know if this will work. Will pin and boost photos. (Only photographs please of any quality)
