All eyes in the bosque are on you, Tim! The photos are beautiful, as always. That is an outstanding photo of the Sandias in cloud shadow.
We are seeing white crowned sparrows here now. It’s been in the low 80s and clear here today.
It’s much cooler and threatening to rain. I would like the clouds to make good on their trheats. Thanks, Lavinia.
I was gonna say this post was for the birds… but then you threw me for a loop and added lovely flowers. Fabulous photos all around, Tim!
Like the Spanish Inquisition, no one expects flowers. Thanks, Dale.
Hahaha! Love it. 🙂
Phenomenal views!
Thanks, Amit.
I always enjoy your variety of wildlife and flowers, Tim, thanks for sharing!
You are welcome. Thanks for dropping by, Tiffany.
Beautiful birds and wonderful photography Tim ! Thanks for sharing 👍🤝
Thanks, Srikanth.
They’re watching you but …so are we and you better keep shooting! My day is better already! The Sandias .. sigh!
Thanks, Marina. The bazooka is a fine shooter, too.
Actually the eye behind and hands holding it! 😉
Awfie bonnie as we say here. In fact they are stunning.
Thanks, Shey.
No place is safe from the paparazzo! Great photos, thank you Tim
No one is safe from being shot with the Bazooka. The Bazooka is my 400mm lens I got a few months ago. I’m not sure we had met when the lens got named.
Photography is a dangerous sport… sometime! 🙂
It can be dangerous.
Extra special nature shots today, Tim, great! Cheers.
Thanks, Inchcock. Did you see my Grammarly question on your post? You must be a 99 percenter for original words.
Wonderful shots. The Bazooka really works well. Our turkey vultures don’t have the white coloring on the wing feathers visible from below.
Thanks, Maj & Sher. You might have black vultures. They look like turkey vultures with black heads and dark feathers under their wings.
Thanks for the vulture information. Have to look closely next sighting!
Fab shots! Loving the birds. At least it did not turn out to be a peyerate post. Anything can happen here!
No peyerates here. Thanks, Resa.
I felt the breath of fresh air, the warmth sunshine and sound of flapping wings. I’m still singing Wild Cat!!!!
Thanks, Rebecca. Wild Cat is kind of catchy.
Great shots and love the clouds as always!
Thanks, Teri.
All of these photos are brilliant, of course, but I’m especially fond of the belted kingfisher. I even wrote a poem about them. (posted on my blog Feb. 2020). All these feathered denizens of the sky, the skies themselves, and the flowers reaching toward the skies!
Thanks, Mary Jo. Your poem is wonderful. This belted kingfisher seems like perfect punk bird with his gnarly mohawk and scowling expression.
All fabulous … but I’m loving those flowers!
Terrance is one of those better seen from afar kinda birds ha! Nice collection of images.
Thanks, Brian.
Not in the classical sense of birdwatcher, but I like watching birds, photographing them and talking to them. I talk to the owls, cranes and pTerodactyl (great blue heron).
Awesome clicks as always Tim…..
I loved the vulture with his majestic wings spread out the most…although I was quite enchanted by the yellow birdie….I am partial to yellow….
Finches are pretty, and vultures are beautiful in the air. They are not so beautiful on the ground. Thanks, Ruelha.
