Good morning ☀️
Standing tall for Rob's theme of 'Long Necks' #BirdOfTheDay
📷🪶🦒
A great egret is a white bird with a long neck, shown here walking slowly across a flooded field. Great blue herons also have a long neck, but I think they lose out in comparison to the egret.

Thank you 😊 They were quick and watchful coming in to the patio. I love how they fly off with one seed and the next chickadee takes a turn.

"The Quaking Gold and White Bark of The Aspen Tree"

The #Colorado Mountains are rich with golden aspen leaves quaking in the wind in September. I like the bone white color of the Aspen Tree Bark and helps make the photo. #FallColors #Aspen

This is gorgeous. I was surprised earlier this year to hear they have a beautiful song as well. Somehow they don’t seem to sing in the parking lots where I normally see them! 😉

Thank you, Gerrit - and I have to say, you’ve been having great success with hummingbirds recently ❤️

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is the 'Family Paridae of Birds' which includes the Black-capped Chickadee (Poecile atricapillus). They have found and begun harvesting the volunteer sunflowers.

And there my little doves did sit With feathers softly brown
And glittering eyes that showed their right
To general Nature's deep delight.

Gathering the last of Summer‘s bounty
Before the clouds and rain return to the skies
Soon it will be too cold to stir from the hive
And we will live on the sweetness stored away
