Birdies

We used to live in a rural area of Wisconsin. One of the best things about being there was the variety of birds that were always seen and heard around our property.  I had a broken ankle one spring, and I sat on the porch counting the birds I saw. By the end of the day I had counted 30 some different kinds of birds.

Now we live in an urban area, and many of these Virginia birds are unfamiliar to me. But I still watch for the when I am walking or visiting other areas. I am particularly happy to see the hawks that live in the city. Here a few recent pics of some of the recent sightings from Virginia and a visit to Massachusetts.
