Packing my camera and a pocket full of peanuts, I left for a trail walk on this sunny, but cold, morning. I had forgotten to bring my hat, but I decided to take a short walk anyway…just to stretch my legs and capture a few bird pictures. Setting the timer on my watch for 35 minutes I headed down the trail. When the timer went off, I was have too much fun to go home yet, so I tapped “repeat” and continued down the trail. Here are a few of the birds I saw:




As I wrote in recent blog posts, my intention is to resume my habit of daily photo walks, combining my two favorite hobbies: photography and trailwalking. I only walked for about a mile and a half today, but that’s a start.
Beautiful bird pictures – the peanuts make them as happy as you are walking and enjoying them!

That’s true, Linda. I was having as much fun as the birds.

You see the joy when they see food Carolyn. The sparrows always look so woeful at the Park where I walk. The jays or cardinals, even the red-winged blackbird, will swoop down for a peanut when I feed the squirrels, but the sparrows have nothing. I made them a goody bag to spread out on the picnic tables where the squirrels hang out – they were happy. It was such a cold Winter and that cold air is hanging on – I do feel sorry for those poor birds.

Great images! Love the birds – trying a new bird seed to see if the squirrels will leave the feeders alone and maybe I can get some shots of the birds.

Good luck with the bird seed. I am plagued by grackles and starlings. They chase away the bluebirds and eat all the food.
