Alisa’s theme this week is Birds! I smiled when I read her post, and I knew there were a few worthy shots from the thousands of images on my computer! Before pushing off from Point C to return to B and finally home to A, I present to you a collection of bird images from the middle of the world!
Save our Mangroves, Please!
My Neighbors in the mangroves
This pelican swam over and visited for several days in a row!
Those frigates are pretty magnificent!
Catch me if you can!
Night heron, cormorants and vultures
the binoculars brought these sunset ibis a bit closer!
croaking ground dove – yes, it croaks!
vermilion flycatcher
This baby bird appeared in the house – unfortunately it died that night.
From the mangroves to the cloud forest, the climate changes, as does the selection of feathered friends.
Remember that the Audubon Annual Bird Count stretches from December into January. If you don’t have timeout for art, maybey ou have timeout to see how many birds are outside your window! There will surely be many great posts of birds soaring from 2013 into 2014 thanks to Ailsa’s theme for this week! See here great selection of images, especially the fun finale HERE.
Thank You!!!!!!! Lovely!
First tropical flowers and then tropical birds! I hope you’re getting a touch of the tropics in your home! Z
Oh, I do…and that’s exactly what I need!
What a variety! Gorgeous!
I do envy you your birds Lisa! Have a wonderful New Year!
Ah, such beautiful birds!!! I can almost hear them! 🙂
Lovely tropical birds and hummingbirds, Lisa. You have an impressive collection. If one takes time to observe a small area, no telling how many birds they would see, especially mornings.
Looking at the birds I was reliving my visit on at the RiverHouse with you this past year!! And of course seeing the Hummingbird brought big smiles to me
Thanks for the beautiful post and the “smiling memories”
i came very close to putting a photo of you in there, but then i thought, no, she deserves her own post!
hmmmm!

Just gorgeous. Birds are my favorite and these are so unusual for me to see. Love them.

you are living in the middle of the world in a birds’ paradise!
thank you, Lisa, emigrated from the cotton fields of the Mississippi Delta to the jungle birds and rivers of South America, that you had the patience to wait ten donkey minutes till your snail (baby turtle?) of your internet connection downloaded my harp & guitar sound to you!
