Well I enjoyed all the sounds..don't know if it's age or what, but I am more sensitive and don't like lots of noise- nature is so much soothing to me. Gee, that is such a bright red!

Love the shots of all of them and I love the meadowlark. thought they look similar, I love the song of the western meadowlark even more! I hope you can see and hear one of them one day. I have never seen a dickcissel myself. good luck.

I kind of remember seeing a kingbird when we were in Texas, but I had forgotten how showy they are! <br /><br />I wanted to comment on your skies over on your other blog too! Thank you for sharing your "simple pleasures". I don't think it's so simple to get perfect shots like those when you're on the way to work! (But they sure do make getting up early worthwhile, don't they!).Sallie (FullTime-Life)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15442598857394838271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1264193705821192168.post-47160292993473754492011-07-11T15:20:06.269-04:002011-07-11T15:20:06.269-04:00wow! so beautiful birds....:)wow! so beautiful birds....:)Dhemzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05775515982789825801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1264193705821192168.post-88658674118333051642011-07-11T13:44:07.170-04:002011-07-11T13:44:07.170-04:00Great post and great video!

Their habitat was destroyed this year, so very few stayed around The Dirt Patch this year. What a shame.<br />Are your Eastern Kingbirds as fearless as the Western? <br />Hope you enjoyed your weekend!<br />meggs.xx936000https://www.blogger.com/profile/05132867703170636584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1264193705821192168.post-6889049730473864292011-07-10T21:32:24.230-04:002011-07-10T21:32:24.230-04:00Lovely shots!

Thanks for posting that video! I'm on a quest to get some great shots of blue herons right now so I was excited to read that you have blue herons so close to where you live. I actually got some good shots today. YAY! But NOW I want some great shots of them flying...oh also of some babies...and their nests. :))<br /><br />I'm familiar with Eastern Kingbirds but have never gotten a good photo of them but not the meadowlark.
