DAILY BIRD PICS VOL #376

Red-eye Dove

I am so sorry about the quality - they were all taken over the street at the limits of the camera, I tried many settings, could not improve.

Kelp Gull

Dolphins swimming by!

Sundown - another day at an end!

What a great sight to see! Thanks Rian, I love the birds you see.

We are looking at 12 inches of snow today, I have to head off to work soon. :-( I'll post some pics later.

little what a veiw,i love the beach,love your shots ,love seeing birds we never get to see.

pelle ,I think we were reading minds ..

I too appreciate Rian's contribution to our Forum. Such wonderful variety of exotic birds and natural beauty from a land that's far away. Thanks Rian. Those eyes! They are almost like that of Grackles' eyes. They look very bright and focus.

Look at what's making my day besides hearing from a friend via dmail. Then this 'ole friend' revisited; Mitchell, yep my Redbellied Woodpecker is back, he's checking out my new 'Chalet' bird-feeder. I could jump for joy!

Here is a view of the "beach" -

One more pic of oystercatcher - I do LOVE them

Little Egret - I like the yellow contrast

Luck of the day - I was not prepared so pic is dark - but Whimbrel, I think. Resin can you confirm, maybe Curlew, but they do not have the def white brow?? They (whimbrel) breed in North America and Europe, I understand, so a visitor.

Wow, just imagine a bird that travelled the distance to visit! How cool!

Wow...that is neat! So amazing the distances our feathered friends maange to cover!

Yep, Whimbrel. By the end of April, it'll be passing me on its way to the Arctic to breed. Flight distance 11,000 km.

Resin

Thanks Resin - can I send you anything? I will catch it and ask it to deliver! LOL! - just remember no perisables - don't think it will look great after 5500km!

Just wanted to add: Thanks for the nice comments and looking at my grainy pics - I am working hard to improve, but I think it will only come with some better equipment.
