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!

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.
I love the Pewee and the wonderful skies.
I really liked these Skywatch photos. Love the soft pewter and tawny of the Pewee. Hubby's sunset photos with reflections at the lake are wonderful . . . great team you are!
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.
cute little bird! glad you could distinguish him from a phoebe - i'd have been wrong, for sure. :)
love the sunset and reflections! go, hubby, go!
Your shots are gorgeous!
Nice capture on the little bird. He's really cute. The sky shots are amazing! Love the colors and reflections.
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.

At the first photo of your Peewee, I thought it looks like our pale or dusky flycatcher. And then you said it was family ! Your hubby really captured beautiful reflections of the sky. Interesting Skywatch. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Greetings Jo
Both wonderful shots! Love the clouds in the reflection.
The little bird is so cute and your Sunset is great !
Best regards, Synnöve
Sehr schöne Bilder!

Such talented photographers, both of you! Thanks for both adorable the bird and the beautiful skies.
The Pewee looks like a flycatcher; the sunsets are awesome.
HI Eileen Your birds is lovely however those sunsets are magnificent. I would be sitting there every evening.
Wow---those sky and sunset photos are AWESOME... Just fabulous....
The little Pewee is so cute...Don't think I've ever seen one in person. Maybe their 'song' is how they got their name!!!!!
Hugs,
Betsy

Beautiful pics!
Love those shots with the reflections on the water! Happy skywatching.
Those wide angle shots of the sky with the reflection are so spectacular. If i were there, i might just sit and watch them fade, anyway these views don't last long! Happy Weekend.
Hi Eileen, I am so glad you have shown these sweet birds! They are expert at catching flying insects. I used to see them each year in TN but not here in FL yet. Who knows? Have a great Friday tomorrow and a pleasant weekend!
Indeed a beautiful reflective sunset.
Great sunset!

What a wonderful sunset. The location is perfect for great photos with the beautiful reflections of the lake.
Your husband did a great job - that sunset and reflection is lovely. What a cute little guy the pewee is--great captures. Have a nice weekend. Mickie ;)
I find identifying flycatchers very difficult. I was hoping it might get easier but so far, no.
Wow, your hubby is getting good with the camera! What beautiful, colorful shots! And that little bird is so cute :) Hope you have a great weekend!
