Sunday’s Pictures #9.

Posted on September 29, 2019 by stevescountry

Hello everyone on this autumn Sunday! And here we are with another group of bird pictures which will end this month’s theme. I hope you will enjoy today’s selection. Just looking at these bright and cheerful birds helps to bring some sunshine to this cool and rainy day. I hope it does for you as well, even if it is sunny where you live. Let’s start with a male robin.

Then we will follow up with another look at some almost half grown Canada geese.

This next one may not be a very exciting bird, but it is quite colorful nonetheless. This is the common grackle.

And I just couldn’t end our look at birds without including a picture of my all time favorite sparrow and also our largest, the fox sparrow.

And ending with another look at the immature red-shouldered hawk, who happened to be looking straight at me. Probably wondering why I was taking so many pictures of him. Or her.

Okay, one more, a female mallard in some long grass along my forest path.

Well, I hope you all enjoyed today’s selection of birds. Next week we will start something different for our Sunday’s pictures. I hope you all enjoy your Sunday and God bless!

Steve and Muffin.
