I love to see your Eastern Towhee with yellow eyes! But I came for Good Fences :-)
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful photos! It's sad that Joy disappeared; the fact that it's just the way of nature doesn't take away the hurt.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed all. Those owls are a trip.
ReplyDeleteLove the wooden ramp photo and beautiful nature shots!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a lovely weekend ~ ^_^
Kenneth, I never tire of your posts and photos, and I have thoroughly enjoyed this, another magnificent series! Thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeletegreat eagle. Thanks for joining to my fences
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful photos and nice to look back at years past. I need to work on photos this afternoon! Enjoy your weekend. I know it's been a hard week. Your friend, Diane
ReplyDeleteGreat fences and lots of wonderful birds. The Limpkin was such a different looking bird (I've never seen one). Loved those owls.
ReplyDeleteThat pic of the Night-heron displaying is amazing!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, thanks for sharing your part of the world with us.

A delightful look back Kenneth. I loved especially seeing Glory and Honour in their nest - cool! What a difference 45 days makes :D)
ReplyDeleteA beautiful collection of photos and birds. I hope your days are happier, all the best and cheers from over the pond :D)
Rosy, incredible shots! I'm in awe of folks such as yourself who do a fabulous job capturing birds. The male bald eagle is just beautiful and the pair of Burrowing owls are cute. I've not seen a Zebra butterfly before - how cool! Thanks for sharing. I'm visiting from the SWF hop. Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteFascinated by your beautiful bird photos. Absolutely adore the image of the yellow-crowned night heron. I have never seen a bird like this before. Stunning.
ReplyDeleteWOW! That Yellow crownd Night-heron is a fantastic image Kenneth and I love the rflection shot but really as usual all your photographs are great. I hope you have a wonderful weekend
ReplyDeleteI like the boardwalk. Looks like a perfect place to capture some great shots!
ReplyDeleteHello, Ken! I love the eaglets and the eagle photos. The Burrowing Owls are awesome too. Great birds and sightings. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteWonderful series of images. Great memories.
ReplyDeleteThese are all wonderful shots- but the heron- WOW! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeletetowhee so colorful and sweet great shots
ReplyDeleteYou've got some great shots here. And what you are doing is so worthwhile. Kudos.
ReplyDeleteLove, love LOVE the breeding display of the Night Heron. Wow. Incredible. I don't want to go any further...I am so awed by that image. But I will....the eagle and eaglets, fantastic, the burrowing owls [not one but TWO!!] which I'd be ecstatic to sight, oh....and the towhee. Jealous of that one too, I am.
