Sitting Outside

We have had some beautiful days to enjoy sitting outside watching the birds and other wildlife.

This little girl is always hopping around! She has babies but I have only seen 1 so far.
We watched a hornet gather wood from the fence for its nest.
We saw babies being fed.
The most colorful birds we see are the bluejays and cardinals.
A young bluejay.
Once I get that camera lens attachment, these photos should be crystal clear!
This grackle cracked me up thinking he's hiding.
Mmmm! popcorn!
This guy looks a little angry.
While outside we love our watermelon and red wine. They go quite well together!
I hope you enjoyed our aviary friends! We have been treating them to popcorn, bread and tortilla chips. Thank you for stopping by! ~Val

  1. There's a bunny and her babies in the communal garden where my mom lives :)
    Awesome shots of the birds. Seems like you can get quite close to them! I tried
    with the zoom but that scared them away! Need to try the watermelon and wine combo :)

  7. What a variety of birds! Mostly crows and doves over here. Any idea what kind of bird it is that ook off with the popcorn? Is that one of those bluejays? And I like the timing of the angry bird shot. I think he is in the middle of plotting how to get a piece of that watermelon!

  9. lol...love those bird pictures. I enjoy watching the wildlife outside...I need to make more time for that. My husband once "almost" tamed a wild bunny. He would come out when Chuck was feeding the horses, and would wait by Chuck's feet until he got some feed. We haven't seen him this year. :0(

  10. Great post! I have a bird feeder in my garden, so I get a daily dose of pigeons, doves, sparrows, and sometimes chaffinches and goldfinches as well. There are also always magpies, rookies, seagulls and jackdaws around, and I just love watching the lot! The angry bird shot is great :D
    And I'm seeing your post just after I came back from a walk along the river, and I just happened to see a whole... herd? of bunnies (if rabbits form herds, that is ;) You must live in a great place if you can see rabbits just being outside you house, I have to take a pretty long walk to have a chance of seeing any ;P
