For this weeks Skywatch Friday I have some shots of the skies over my yard. I also included a cool video of sky and the bird sounds coming from my yard this past weekend. I was doing the Great Backyard Bird Count and was enjoy the sky while listening to all the birds in my yard.
A blue sky filled with Turkey and Black Vultures. These vultures were seen from deck, they seem to be just flying in circles.
A Youtube video of the sky and the sounds of my backyard birds.
This was a shot from early in the morning. The snowstorm that was predicted missed us, the storm stayed further south.
Later in the evening, I enjoyed the the contrails and the sunset.
I zoomed in for some color and another vulture in flight.
A closer look at the contrail that turned pink from the sunset.
I hope you enjoyed my skies and to see more
wonderful skies from around the world please visit Skywatch Friday. Thanks to the host of Skywatch Friday: Sylvia, Sandy and Wren.
I hope everyone has a safe and happy weekend. And Happy Birding to all the birders out there.

Lovely, Eileen. The sounds of the birds is so relaxing.........
ReplyDeleteLove the sky shots! I am always on the lookout for interesting clouds - the predicted storm that missed us too provided some really neat formations! Lovely shots! Happy weekend to you!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful skies, Eileen, and a lovely photo capture of the bird in flight.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely sky shots!
ReplyDeleteLove the video Eileen, great job. I can't belive there were so many vultures circling, isn't that a sign that something died?
ReplyDeleteI love your backyard shots, Eileen. Always a delight.
ReplyDeleteGreat skies and wonderful birds (sights and sounds). I wondered how you count that sky full of circling vultures.
ReplyDeleteI find the skies endlessly fascinating, day and night. You have a wonderful back yard and such a nice place to watch the skies and the birds.
ReplyDeleteWow I wasn't sure what to expect with your video but it was great- I can't imagine getting anything done with that many birds singing in my yard! Love the little nuthatch too. Thanks for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteThe sounds from your back yard are superb. Skies are lovely too.
ReplyDeletei like all the activity you've got in your yard! so welcoming and happy!
ReplyDeleteand that last contrail shot is phenomenal! :)
Lovely shots of the trails and sunset. Can't imagine a sky so full of vultures - I've never seen a single one!
ReplyDeleteI used to not like birds chirping, but now, I really love it... it's so soothing & peaceful, even tho they may get a lil loud at times! heheheee =) Give me a running stream in the back ground & some chirping birds & crickets & I'm happy! =)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sky! Your backyard bird sounds are much more varied than mine right now, although the sound of 5 dozen or so Redpolls and a few Chickadees thrown in is quite noisy too.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous skies, Eileen. I love the pink contrails. The bird sounds are lovely....I could sit on that deck for a long time!
ReplyDeleteGreat post Eileen. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful skies and wonderful captures and I love your video!! Thanks for sharing the beauty, Eileen! I hope you have a lovely weekend! Enjoy!

Very interesting photo set indeed. Happy Skywatching.
ReplyDeleteThe vultures must have been very far away. I remember when I was in high school, I saw 100s of flying foxes very low down. It was incredible. Images were burnt in my mind.
ReplyDeleteTruly amazing skies.
ReplyDeletecontrail :thanks, I had to google to find what it is. I always thought it was the after math of a jet plane. learnt so much through blogging.
ReplyDeleteSo many of them! And the contrail capture is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteGreat Skywatch shots... and I love your backyard!!

ReplyDeleteInteresting skies, I can see that the bad weather just skirted around you.
ReplyDeleteDekifhtful skies! The vultures certainly seem to spend a lot of time circling.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I would loose count of the birds, there's a lot of them.
