The resident osprey was eating lunch on my neighbor's dock. He usually eats on the sailboat mast but it was raining and really windy so he moved down to the dock.
He was tearing that fish apart. Yum!
Then I noticed a night heron on my other neighbor's dock in the pouring rain. This was taken through the dining room window on the other side of the house.
Wet birds eating bird seed on ground. One seemed to be leaning on a grapefruit that had fallen off the tree.
Mockingbird in the tree.
The doves were all fluffed up from the rain.
A first that I've seen in my backyard. I'm going with a yellow throated warbler. It was hard to get a decent picture of him through the window. It was raining and he was hiding in all of those dead branches. But I was so excited to see him there.
Resting on a branch.
Two weekends ago I was sick. Out cold for 3 days with a sinus infection and sore throat. I picked a good weekend to get sick though, it rained most of the time so I probably would not have been out in a park anyway. Every couple of hours I would drag myself off the couch and peak out the window to see if there were any birds in the backyard. At least I had some interesting things come to visit. All of the above were taken through the window, which I need to clean since the rain is making them dirty again. Maybe this weekend.

Oh, I love those puffed-up doves, Dina, and the heron standing on one leg, come rain or come wind, isn't as easily distracted as the osprey!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are well now.

Fantastic window viewws! great for keeping the camera entertained! An amazing variety of birds in your loval world!
ReplyDeleteYour posts have hosted some beautiful local bird pictures!! And these, from your window. How lucky are you??
ReplyDeleteHow cool to be able to see all of these fascinating birds from your windows!
ReplyDeleteNice "window" and good shots!
ReplyDeleteThe heron is my favourite, but they are all gorgeous. I think that's the first time I have seen a mockingbirds (although To Kill a Mockingbird is one of my favourite books).
ReplyDeleteLovely just to see these birds through a window never mind capture with a camera... many thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt's kind of a cool thought to think of these birds coming to visit you while you were infirmed. That is quite a window on the world you have! Yep, I like the rainy Night heron backed by the flag too. A totally unique and multi-faceted take. It's hard to believe the variety of backyard birds a person can have in Florida, an amazing set Dina! Feel better!
ReplyDeleteGreat rainy day photos. I especially like the Osprey. I see them around here but never that close. I hope you are feeling better now.
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty incredible view to have from your window! Great shots.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to look out the window and see an Osprey! What an incredible group of birds in your view. Lovely shots!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! and you have very clean windows.Do you want to come over and wash mine? :)
ReplyDeleteWow Dina! If I had your view out the window, I would never get anything done ;-) Great shots of your "yardbirds." It's hard to pick a favorite one but I am very partial to Osprey.
