A bird of beauty... As its name suggests, the Mandarin duck comes from East Asia and is arguably one of the most beautiful ducks in the world.

I hope you guys aren't sick of ducks yet! These are all mallards that flew in to one of the ponds I frequent.

The Canada Geese are massing in the bay out in front of my house, snow is on the ground and it looks like it's staying so the geese are heading south.

A chilly day and I noticed the bird feeders were empty again so I topped them up and the parade of birds began almost immediately. A Hairy Woodpecker,(correction Red bellied woodpecker) some Blue Jays, a few Nuthatches and the ever present ...

I hope you find this photo interesting. Non-Australians may not know that the Brown Snake, though undramatic in appearance and very common, is also very dangerous.

what a delightful surprise when i learned that the black swan is not limited to the very west at the swan river in australia, but resident here in the nsw outback, at the darling, as well.

I saw this hummingbird outside my front door this morning. Sorry I don't know what kind it is but they seem to be here year round.

getting a wake-up call by this baby butcherbird, scrabbling for purchase on the slippery slope of my swag, made my day already at 6 in the morn. i love australian bush life!

So, to cut a long frustrating story very short, I decided to make a feeding station from an old wire antenna dish and a piece of 3/12 plastic pipe that would be totally pest proof and have plenty of feeding options, that was two months ago and so ...

Not a pretty feeding station but the birds are, here two pic’s showing Goldfinches, Great tits Blue tits and coal tits… Not great pic’s but you get the idea…

These rooks are are massive pest here with several hundred strong gangs, stripping unripe fruit trees, devouring the seeds put down by farmers and gardeners and taking anything and everything edible that is put out for pets or wild life, so very few ...

And the count goes up, I get a great lift just watching these little guys...

Queuing up for breakfast this morning, I have to get more feeders… I will make this the last post as the story ends with a ‘happy ever after'...

With a temperature drop to 3c – 37f this morning we had a few more for breakfast than previously, so I added another feeding option, seems to be working…

The first hard frost this year and breakfast turns to bedlam, it’s been like this all morning since first light... There were at least as many, if not more on the ground below the feeders… Getting to the point where I am filling the feeders ...

Didn't know 3 species of raptors would be this sociable

I found a flock of more than a thousand snow geese that had landed in some Amish fields, tonight. It's always exciting to see them during spring migration and the sheer number was mind boggling.

Horned Larks from today, 3/3/19, in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania

You can't spell Plover without "lover", lol. A couple of killdeer working on the next generation of killdeer. I stopped photographing before things got too graphic, lol.

I've seen the Pittsburgh falcons darting around buildings. Amazing flyers!

A beautiful nuisance: the European starling. These are such fun, lovely little birds. It really is a shame that they're such a harmful invasive here in the United States.

A wood duck drake that I spooked near my house.

Just joined the group and thought I'd let folks know how my wife and I got into BIF pictures. My wife got interested in photography last summer and I wasn't getting to use my camera much so I bought one just like mine. We went to the Bosque in NM ...
