Some Perched Birds

Posted on April 8, 2021 by Richard

We are leaving for a little trip to Florida this weekend and it will be fun to handle the camera with warm, or at least thawed-out hands. I’ve been grabbing some shots here on our daily walks and thought I’d share a few.

Song Sparrows are everywhere, singing up a storm, adding their audio brightness to our lengthening days.

Even the more common birds stand out with leafless trees (and power poles.)

One of the first Common Grackles of the year for me.
House Sparrows need some love too.
Northern Cardinals are very vocal as they establish territory and checking out each other.
This is my first Belted Kingfisher of the year, at a great distance.

Yesterday, while walking with Ginger at the Wrightsville Reservoir, I came upon this perched Bald Eagle who watched us as we circumvented his perch but seemed pretty disinterested. I can’t determine if it’s a molting bird or a juvenile.
