You guys have shown me more varied birds than I've seen in my whole life. I always though of them generically, as "birds," and the only ones I've really noticed were the ones that landed on my plate.

Oh my...must have been a good plate of seeds that you were eating,KayKayKay! When we were in Disney a few years back, the birds would just hop on the tables while you eat expecting a handout! They loved potatoe chips and popcorn the best! Pecked at the meat, but really that was it.

Still with the cough, eh Leelai? Hope you get better, it's a bummer to get the cough going and doesn't stop.

We've been having turkey vultures in the yard constantly for the last 3 days. They aren't perching, they're just soaring, theres got to be something dead in the yard or something. Or maybe they're coming from the foster home, They were perching there this morning, so my guess is that they're coming from there, or over on the road that's infested with turkey vultures thats a ways down, they're yard is infested with them. I have a video of the vultures but I don't know how to post the video.

I don't think I'd want to have turkey vultures in my yard but they spectacular to watch soaring.

I agree, I wouldn't want them in my yard because they can spread diseases, but they do fascinate me to watch.

Nice video of the Turkey Buzzards you have there! We have those around our cottage...you always know that something is being feasted on when you see those vultures.

Yesterday evening while sitting out on the patio, I noticed how busy the bumble bees were on my flowers!
