This month, I got to go bird watching with my birding chick buddy, Heather! That's my best birdie moment for the year. Unfortunately, I did not get to take any pictures because I left my camera at home. :(
Our friend, Amy, went birding with us, too!! She was nice enough to drive around a nature center (very slowly) and pull over every few minutes so Heather and I could hop out and work on identifying what we heard. She even put up with me playing bird and frog songs on the Identiflyer from the back seat! Now that is a GREAT friend! :)
The list isn't long this month since my birding time was greatly limited before the get-together and not very profitable (in terms of number of birds seen/heard) while birding with the girls (it was totally profitable in the phew-I-get-some-time-off-to-hang-out-with-my-friends-and-relax-and-be-silly way, though).
Okay, so here's the list. It's not as long as that last hyphenated adjective!
- Common Grackle
- Black Vulture
- Turkey Vulture
- Ruby-throated Hummingbird
- Northern Mockingbird
- Mourning Dove
- Red-headed Woodpecker
- Chimney Swift
- European Starling
- Common Yellowthroat
- Brown-headed Nuthatch
- White-breasted Nuthatch
- Carolina Chickadee
- Louisiana Waterthrush
- Yellow Warbler
- Tufted Titmouse
- American Crow
The best part is that Orville, when asked what he liked about bird watching, replied, "We get to hang out with our friends and enjoy God's creation."
That was the caption above their picture (in large print) as well as the ending quote.
Congratulations, Orville, Wilbur, K, and C! I am really pleased with you all!! You are my best birding buddies!!!
Until we tweet again...
