Baby quail out my window.
Two babies!
I’m watching birds early in the morning while sitting outside writing my morning pages. Then I pick up my camera while sitting at a table inside. I’ve seen three separate families of quail. They are small families with the largest having four babies, then another with two and the final family has mom, dad and one baby.
House finch on a young saguaro.
A Harris Hawk stopped by and the little birds flew away.
Mrs. arrived for a snack. A House Finch tried to intimidate her, but she stood her ground.
I hope you enjoyed my photos that I took over the weekend. Happy Father’s Day to everyone and have a great week!
What do you have planned for this week?
You’re good at capturing the personalities of your regional birds. I’m smiling here. Happy week to you!
Thank you for the nice words of encouragement. I take a bunch of photos. I think the ones with personality jump out at me.
Hmmm….writing. gym. Seeing Glengarry glenross on Broadway tomorrow. Doing a free Hermes scavenger hunt. Doing solstice yoga in times square. Curator talk at the Met. Walk the dog.
Sounds like a fun and busy week.

Baby quail certainly are chicken like.

Great photos of the big and small
Thank you! I’m working on my photography after a beginning class in January through May. September through the next few years I’ll be part of a group of five other photographers and professor in a workshop. I hope to learn from them. I also, learn from your blog about angles, creativity and much more.
Thank you 😀 happy I can be of assistance

Nice shots! I often wonder how birds sitting atop cacti manage not to get stickers in their hind ends. 🙂

Thanks! I like the photo of the House Finch best, too. I wonder how they hang one. But considering his size, the cactus spike may be huge to him.
👍
Such wonderful photos! Beautiful birds!
Thanks! I am so excited to be taking more photos. More tomorrow! 😊
So glad to see Mrs Red.
You have your very own nature show in your backyard. I love seeing all your birds, since most of them differ from mine. Have we yet to find a baby of any creature that isn’t adorable?
Thanks! Yes, babies are all adorable!
