Mr. Robin must have already filled up on worms. He's spending his morning singing to the moon.
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!

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 :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bird pictures, Janie. I like them all--but love that Meadowlark... Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Great bird photos, Janie. The first shot is beautiful, and also the one with the moon. And a lovely header shot with the flowering cacti...so pretty.

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.
ReplyDeleteI love listening to the meadowlarks and watching the finches at the birdfeeders. great shots!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely vision to see in the morning (or any time, for that matter)!
ReplyDeleteThe bright yellow is amazing! Great shots!
