Thank you very much!

Feels like deja vu all over again

  WOW! Fabulous!

If it looks like a snow goose, flies like a snow goose and sounds like a snow goose I guess it's a snow goose!  Life bird...sweet!

And there were even more than you can see here. I heard them while I was getting my cart and a lot of them were out of sight before I got out from under the overhang & got my camera out. I almost missed the second group. A woman in the parking lot gave me a whatchulookinat? & she started watching too. She saw me start putting my camera away after the first group passed & called out there's more. I had to go around the building to see them & I only caught the end of the group.

It was amazing!

I posted a copy on their FB page...and the answer is...

Susan Lowe Wrisley: We believe they are both the same (at least we are calling them Fancy and Groucho). We will never know. I am positive it's Fancy. We aren't completely sure about Groucho....

While at the grocery store today I saw 2 sets of geese flying south. Lots & lots & lots of geese. There were 2 distinct groups each with multiple "V" formations. I couldn't get all of either group in one frame. I'm not really sure what type of geese...the wing colors didn't look like Canada geese. The wing tips look darker than their bodies.

Any opinions on what type they might be?

Maybe snow geese?

Ok but what's that bird in the background???   Someone knows! Remember the part where Andy Farmer, (Chevy Chase) threw his coffee out the window at the noisy bird? Well, that's the sound I heard in MAK's video and  have been trying to figure it out for YEARS!! I heard it in my yard over the Summer but couldn't see who it was!! Watch, it's probably a common house Sparrow!  

I think it's a wren of some sort...

This is a house wren in my back yard this summer

I like this one...

It was good to see one of the peregrines at the nest this morning, supervising the renovations.

      

Thanks for catching that!

Bruce Yolton has been posting about them too...

It does my heart good to hear y'all are enjoying my adventures!  

We are! We are!!

 

Morning Bobbie!

Yes, very much enjoying the adventures!

Lots of birds, is there a Peregrine in that mix?

The way they're moving, probably one on their tail...

One morning about a year ago I walked out of my condo complex near the Summerville Pier and here's what I saw on my building's chimney.  I hope the snowies come back this year!

Way cool!

Have to look again to see if I can figure out who has the feather duster & Orville here

None of the pics I have from the surrounding times gives me a clue who is who except Zephyr on the left.

Looks like the same clump of feathers Quest has in her mouth...one more ID'd! Thanks nycbird!
