My Birds!!

Can you imagine… 
This big guy sitting in the birdbath for my little birds.

Figured out he is Mountain Buzzard!

Penetrating eyes.. for sure!

Then he flew up on the roof… 

Actually think he was watching the weaver nests to see if there were youngin's to eat. 

He was regal looking!

This is a weaver bird "weaving" a new nest on the
 inside of our wall. 

They work very hard….

But come up for a pose now and then. 

This is a Robin-Chat!  And they are LOUD every morning singing at the top of their little lungs at 5:30!!  JOY!

This little Red-cheeked Cordon-bleu is barely as tall as the grass.. They are such tiny birds and usually very cute.  But in this picture he is all wet from the morning dew! 

 They are so funny all wet… No.. he isn't bleeding..
That's his red cheek!

They are always in pairs…..

Whereas, the Northern Red Bishop ( which is HOT ORANGE)
is always alone!

I love this bird, in fact… he flew in just as i was bringing
up his picture!

They are both smaller birds.

Can you find the little red-cheeked cordon-bleu in the picture?
Right at the beginning of the grass line?  Tiny! 

Fluttering his little tail!

Doesn't any one have a towel?

This is how close they let me get to them…  Can you see that little blue guy on the 2nd brick?

I don't know this one's name. 

Another Weaver… and then this flew in…

Looks like something out of the RIO movie! … He is a African Paradise-flycatcher.  Just happened to "catch" him… on the wall.
I think he is stunning!

A Weaver baby?   Or a Northern Black Flycatcher?

The these two dropped in but … no idea what they are…

They all love their morning bread!

The whole family flew in for breakfast!

 That's all Folks! 


All these beautiful birds and I haven't even left our yard!

Really!
