Mourning Doves are often
described as peaceful birds, but I have seen quite a different behavior. They seem to be hungry. All the time. And they do not want to share. What looks like maybe a couple that is getting cosy here is two birds each trying to maintain dominance over the food bowl. I do love them for their goofiness and their love for the camera. They are like a well-tanned nudist couple with a preference for 70’s eye shadow that shows up for spontaneous visits.
He is not camera shy...
This is my new favorite bird! I wonder if he is coming back tomorrow, but I am thinking about a name for him right now. Such a gorgeous goofball, I am in love!
I am not sure
if this young Red-bellied Woodpecker is a boy or a girl, but it seems to love the camera feeder - it comes for snacks every day. Red-bellied Woodpeckers are beloved regular visitors in my yard, but the babies can be kind of elusive. This is the first year that a youngster is not camera shy, and I absolutely love it. Also just as much a goofball as the parents :D
This lady is a goofball
and she cracks me up! In the middle photo she saw another Hummingbird approaching. I am really enjoying it that their activity has picked up. This almost feels normal.
