A PeWEE

I am linking up with NF Winged   and  Skywatch Friday

August 15, 2013

It's time for Skywatch and one of my birds for NF Winged, I hope to see everyone sharing their skies and birds. 

According the field guide the Pewee has a dark head and a partial eye ring. 


My field guide points out that the wing tips extend far past the uppertail coverts. I believe the photo above shows this point.


I am pretty sure this is a Eastern Wood Pewee in the flycatcher family. I have been hearing one nearby our yard, their song a rising... peeeaWEEE, it sounds almost like they are saying their own name.


These sky shots are thanks to my hubby. He found a spot at our lake that is wonderful for viewing the sunset.



Beautiful layers of colors, hubby is getting good with my camera. What do you think?


Hubby has a good eye for a pretty reflection too. I hope you enjoy my bird and hubby's skywatch. I am happy to share his photos this week.


  Happy Skywatching everyone!

Thanks for visiting my post and  blog and I always appreciate your comments.

Thanks to Sylvia, Yogi  and Sandy for hosting Skywatch Friday! Thanks to Monica the host of NF Winged.   I wish everyone a safe and happy weekend.

  1. Nice captures Eileen. The bird seems content for you to take pictures too. I reckon it is a young bird, eye ring yet to develop fully. Enjoy the weekend ahead and happy birding.

  4. He's a little darling and those skies are gorgeous! Great photos Eileen. I am trying to visit blogs before we get on the road this morning. Our wi-fi was a little iffy at the hotel. Heading for a Starbucks this morning, or maybe a McDonalds where I can send out some e-mails.

  8. Your photos of the Pewee are excellent, but I agree that your hubby is giving you a run for your money in the photography department. His sunset (and reflections) pictures are beautiful.
