Birds

On a forest walk on Maui last week, we came across quite a few free range chickens and their chicks. The mother of this one was taking a dirt bath and spraying this little one and her other four babies with dirt. They couldn't have been more than a day or so old but it was amazing how they had learned some independence in such a short time. Isn't nature marvelous??? :-)))

We have daily visits to the suet feeders from the Northern Flickers in our area. They are beautiful and very gentle birds. If there is another bird feeding on the suet the Flicker will sit and patiently wait it's turn until the feeding bird has finished and left. Thank you for your visits, comments and invitations to groups, dear friends. Have a wonderful day-:)

Explore 2/9/14 There is a pair of Turtle Doves that seem to really like my tree ... probably because there's always food and water available:-) Thank you for your visits and kind comments dear friends:-)

I spotted this sleeping GHO high up in an old Cottonwood tree in a local park. Thank you for your visits and comments, they are very much appreciated:-)))
