I am sharing a mish-mash of images taken on various dates. They include  my back yard birds, local fire road and reservoir scenes and some archive images. 


1. On our deck railing a Dark-eyed Junco was taking a break from the feeder. 




Hubby, Miney and I took walk on the fire road at Prettyboy and then we drove around the lake to the boat dock.  Usually in the winter months we see various ducks, geese and sometimes an Eagle. we saw a few ducks too far away to id and a large group of Canada Geese. 




Same day as above, the peacock is still visiting on a cold winter day. He is walking around on our driveway. 





2. Hubby and I took a ride out to get some milk and decided to take a short detour around the lake to look for some winter ducks.  We only saw some Canada Geese on the reservoir and a juvenile Bald Eagle perched in a tree near the boat dock. 







3. After our Christmas dinner hubby and I took Miney for a short walk on the fire road.  







4. We celebrated Christmas with our son, dil and the grandkiddies on Christmas Eve. Grand-dog Winnie had to sniffed the toy fox for Sophie. 







5. One of my favorite species of birds I have been able to see are the Booby species.  I have been lucky to see the Brown Booby and the split Cocos Booby, the Masked Booby, the Red-footed Booby, the Blue-footed Booby. These photos are all from my archives. 


The Brown Booby below was seen while we were on a shuttle boat to the island of St. Johns in the Caribbean.
