I haven’t seen a Killdeer on Cape Cod in a long, long time, so this was such a treat when I saw a bird with a distinct striped neck by the little tidal pond. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
I clicked away and then put it on my iBird PRO Sleuth App and knew it was indeed a Killdeer. And then, when I got home and put it on my computer, I realized that there were two of them!
Have you ever seen a Killdeer?
Our yard has been so inundated with baby birds, it’s been amazing! We’ve had baby Baltimore Orioles, Bluebirds, Downy Woodpeckers, Red-bellied Woodpeckers, Titmice, Cardinals, Finches, Hairy Woodpeckers, and more. They are everywhere and are so cute!
I loved this photograph of this proud papa with two of his young ones…
We hadn’t seen a Brown Thrasher in our yard for quite some time, so it was a big treat when this guy showed up the other day. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
Look at those gorgeous yellow eyes!
I loved this last photo as he was foraging the leaves and wood chips with his curved bill looking for food. Have you ever seen a Brown Thrasher?
