Backyard Skywatch

Lately our skies have been so clear, hardly a cloud in sight. But, two days ago I was able to watch somewhat of a sunset from my backyard.  The geese flew over just in time for a few of my photos. Not in the V shape but a single line. I guess they are heading to the lake on the other side of my street. This may be a great winter to watch my backyard birds. I have been seeing many RedBreasted Nuthatches, Purple Finches, Goldfinches and those cute little Kinglets. I am waiting to see my first of the year Pine Siskin.









I hope you enjoyed my backyard skywatch and to
 see more wonderful skies from all around the world

I would to know how other bloggers post thumbnails of  their other skywatches at the bottom of their post. I would appreciate the help if someone can tell me how to do it?  Thanks.

  2. Hi What a great place you live to see all those birds, great photographs as usual.
    I don't know about specifically having skywatch as your thumbnails, but I have linkwithin which automatically puts thumbnails at the end of each post, often they do marry up to the subject of the post like Mosaic Monday.

    Maybe another blogger will come up with a better idea!!

    Have a good day, Jackie in Surrey, UK.

  6. Love the pictures of the geese in your photographs! We hung out suet, one in the front yard and one in the back yard. I hope to capture some photographs of birds, too, over the winter months.

  29. That's not just somewhat of a sunset, Eileen, that's really something, and the geese make it "more than somewhat" as Damon Runyon used to say.
