Backyard Warm Afternoon Critters

Last Monday it was warm, all day. I declared it a shorts day and took a drink, my book, and camera out to the backyard.

Robins were out and about.

This is the same robin only on a fence and turned away. Amazing to me how they look like a completely different bird.

The mourning doves were out and about. They are such calm birds.

I got some golden hour light on this one.

This is a 29 second video summarizing the non-sparrow birds that visit the camera feeder. I’m up to about 220 visits a day. Almosts all of them house sparrows with some juncos thrown in. So what I call interesting birds is not very many. That’s okay.

I am linking with Saturday’s Critters.

    Alan, I admire your style! 😊 Getting out in the backyard with a good book and the camera … it’s a dream in Seattle right now. Maybe not too far away though? …Thanks for sharing! John

      That’s what I was trying to figure out too! Nice it’s warm enough for shorts. Although, around here, no matter how cold it gets, some men like to wear shorts!
