Birds in the Neighborhood

Every morning we hear meadowlarks singing.They serenade us from fenceposts...
or from a perch in an aspen tree.
During the day, they hunt for bugs in the pasture.
Mr. and Mrs. Goldfinch enjoy the feeders,
or wait impatiently in the apple tree for the seed competition to leave.
Mr. Robin must have already filled up on worms.  He's spending his morning singing to the moon.

  1. What fabulous captures of the birds!! I've never seen a meadowlark and how beautiful it is!! Love the robin singing to the moon! Such a lovely post and just what I needed on yet another gray, gloomy, wet, chilly day! Hope your week is going well! Enjoy!

  2. Wonderful captures! The meadow lark is very striking and I'm sure your goldfinches are different to ours. I know your robin is - how lovely he is, singing to the moon :-)

  15. Getting up early to hear the bird sing is such a treat. I don't think I've ever heard a meadow lark, though. It's song must be lovely.

  17. At my old friend Tommy Lester's funderal, his grandkids recalled how he always told people that after he died you'd still be able to hear him singing through a meadowlark. Your pics really made me smile and I could hear their sweet voice like it was coming through the open window.
