Enjoyed your photos and essay was excellent.
Super photo, Bill. I also appreciated your essay and value your devotion to teaching and to your students. You have posted a rich variety of pictures and ideas in recent days. Thank you.
Another interesting bird photo!!
Hi Bill, I love my sweet little goldfinches. AND--I dread it when the Pine Siskins come back here for the winter. They came last year and took over the feeders --about 100 or so of them at a time. Yuk!!!!
Great picture of the two birds.
Betsy
Excellent shot, Bill
Aloha, Friend!
Comfort Spiral
Like kids on a playground..."It's mine!"
Great shot.
Sunny :)
That really is a great shot! You know who took over my birdfeeders? The deer! They sneak in at night and empty them.
Oh my goodness, that's such an adorable picture, and wonderful capture!
Wow, great catch on the kiss - even if it probably wasn't meant to be all that loving!
Great pictures. That predator call for the Marsh Hawks blew my mind!
That's quite a photo! What an interesting pair.
