October Birding was fun and interesting...
Several warblers arriving but,
lots of "wire bird" photo opportunities.
Birds love to perch on the wires outside of Ballantrae
(see "birds on the wires" pages ) so,
I thought I would feature some nice shots from this month.


American Kestrel
The American kestrel is the smallest and most common falcon in North America.



Snowy Egret
Usually seen walking around our ponds
Noted for its large yellow feet

Red-shouldered Hawk
This is a younger one, adults are somewhat darker.
A patient hunter...eats anything that moves!

Belted Kingfisher
Usually perches near water and dives to get small prey.
Very skittish and hard to photograph


European Starling
Common perching bird, adults are much darker indigo.
Beautiful patterns

Some residents are sending me bird photos for identification...
Glad to see appreciation for our often overlooked natural beauty.

Get your cameras and binoculars out and
see our beautiful birds and other species.
Send us some of your photos, or call in your sightings.
