It finally rained like heck and after the birds came out to play.

ReplyDeleteYour pictures are lovely such cute wee birds.
What great captures, Karen! You managed to catch them at just the right moments.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cardinal ... with such an expression on her face and she's sitting on a pink pipe ... Just perfect!
ReplyDeleteMr. Robin appears to have a very fat ittle belly. Not knowing which birds are which, pictures like yours with the name under them really makes a grand learning experience. I just love looking at all of the bird photos.genie
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful is the photo of the cardinal, such vivid colors. You take fantastic detailed pics.

Hi there - that damp robin is a great shot.
ReplyDeleteGary (from Vermilon River) also mentioned the fact that Emu have moved around the world - strange, but given the number of animals that have been moved to Australia hardly a shock!
