Bird Brain

Only one I've ever seen that I know of. It showed up in my yard a few years back and hung around long enough for me to get a couple of photos.

Matter of fact, I am a Mac Davis fan. Macs' first wife was Fran Cook, who is my 1st cousin once removed (daughter of my 1st cousin). They had a son, Scotty, and Mac wrote the song "Watching Scotty Grow" about his son. The song was recorded by Bobby Goldsboro in 1970 and was a hit for him. Later Mac had his own hit song, "It's Hard to Be Humble", which you're referring to here. So Mac was my ex-cousin-in-law.

I'll be leaving tomorrow (early!!) going to Alabama to spend a few days with my brother. He's battling cancer and I want to spend some time with him while I have a chance. My wife has Alzheimer's and her daughter is able to come down from Oregon to stay with her while I'm gone. Next weekend I'm going from there to N Fla to spend a few days with my sons. I'll be getting home on Fri the 22nd if all goes well. It is not a birding trip by any means, but I will have my camera just in case!! I probably won't be on here while I'm gone, but will check in if I get half a chance. If I do get any photos I will post them when I get home. I'll miss y'all!! Bird Brain

First of season White-crowned Sparrow!! Always glad to see them show up.

I'm older than you, Charlie, and I could plainly see without my glasses that the chicken was much smaller that the Vulture setting by it on the rock!!!

I was thinking it should be more like 3 days!! 😏 BTW, I agree with Green Heron for the ID.

About 1/2 a shutter speed too late!!

Agree, Northern Harrier. Nice shot!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Yeah, could result in lots of broken cameras, too!!

AHEM!!!!!! I resemble that remark!!

Nice shot! I haven't seen any yet this Fall so far, but I always have some that spend the Winter in my yard. I'm looking forward to seeing them this year.

I dunno, I've been wrong several times without being sniped!! 😟

And your point is????? 😏
