Linking up with Skywatch Friday and Good Fences and NF Winged
For my Skywatch Friday and Good Fence post I am sharing these shots left from last weekend's visit to the nature center, mostly shots from our ride home and a stop for some corn at the local stand..
It was a white puffy cloud day, no humidity and a gorgeous day for our walk..Hubby and I enjoy our weekend walks, we get plenty of exercise and I get to do some birding..
More pretty skies, this is a scene from our ride home and it is also a scene I pass every day going to and coming home from work.. On the very bottom of this photo is a stone wall, I hope this counts as a fence shot too.
On the way home from work I pass this dead bare tree every day too for years now. I am amazed it is still standing..I think it is a neat tree, I am always checking it out expecting a bird to be sitting at the top..I think it makes a great fence shot for Tex's Good Fence meme.
During our walk I watched two Eastern Kingbirds battling it out in tree with what I believe is an immature Baltimore Oriole.. The Kingbirds left, so I think that means the Oriole on the left won..
I believe this is an immature Baltimore Oriole or maybe a female?
The Eastern Kingbird. The bird on the right was feeding the one on the left, pretty sure it was a juvie.
The Eastern Kingbird, has a black head and white throat and long wings. You can not see it in this photo but the tip of its tail feathers are white..
I hope you enjoyed my post and photos

HI Eileen Great wavy fences and in the 2nd shots with the small trees, I love the shadows that they make. Great bird shots also.
ReplyDeleteThe Kingbird really look royas in their soft colored plumage.
ReplyDeleteOh my. I love the skies, the tree (which would indeed make perfect bird perch) and the birds. Megathanks.
ReplyDeleteI like how they build the fence to avoid the tree.
ReplyDeleteI love the shot of the dead tree and fences. The Kingbird is a very handsome looking bird. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the hilly, green countryside with the rolling fences. And of course the birds! Always an added plus.
ReplyDeleteI actually really like that tree as well. Dead or not, it's beautiful...
ReplyDeleteWow, such long wavy or curvy white fence in the wide green area♡♡♡ And impressive tree! And two birds "battling it out"; How exciting to see the scene♬♬♬
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Eastern Kingbird picture, Eileen.
Sending you Lots of Love and Hugs to my Dear friend in America, xoxo Miyako*

Love the white against green fencing and how it undulates. There's something so crisp and summery about these kinds of fences. Really like the shot of the grove of trees. Very lovely, one and all.

Oh my tweet, tweet so very sweet, as are the ways folks put up their fences! Great way to work with what they want. Very nice locations.
ReplyDeleteThe winding white fence looks beautiful in the lush green days of summer.
ReplyDeleteI like the flowing lines of the fences around the old dead tree. Thank you for visiting my Abe Lincoln fence.
ReplyDeleteLovely fences - makes me think of the ones in Kentucky. :) I'm a fan of stone walls, too. Beautiful Kingbird. I love it's white white throat and belly.

You got some wonderful pictures on this walk and drive. I really like your fence photos. The dead tree photo especially reminds me of the horse farms around Lexington, Kentucky.

Hubby saw a hawk get one of our Backyard Birds this morning... Not sure it was a Mourning Dove --but we have a bunch of them around here this summer... Sad!
Hugs,
Betsy

The dead tree seems to hold a place of honor amid the fences!
ReplyDeleteHi Eileen, I have a spot with a trio of old dead Pines that are similar to that tree in your photo here today. That place here used to have a colony of Red-headed Woodpeckers. Have not seen any Red-headed Woodpeckers at all this season here at that spot and only heard one early this past Spring in my neighborhood. Oh! Have a super good weekend!
ReplyDeletehi eileen, i totally enjoyed your post and photos. simply gorgeous as usual.
ReplyDeletei linked to you today!
Beautiful pictures Eileen. Even the dead tree has some beauty. Pretty countryside.
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend.
A wonderful series of photos! The sky is gorgeous and all these beautiful birds...

Wonderful shots -love that blue sky.
ReplyDeleteThe tree photo is stunning
ReplyDeleteGreat shots. I love the sky and white fence. All the shots are appealing but that one was my favorite.
ReplyDeleteLove your captures!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fences and great shots of the Kingbirds!
ReplyDeleteI love the third fence pic the most...winding white fences are so cool and the dead tree in the middle adds so much interest. The bird at the end looks deep in conversation with someone...lol!
ReplyDeletePretty sky for birding.
ReplyDeleteI like the landscapes here.
