Fence hoppin’ Blue Jay.

American White Ibis taking flight. Spotted a couple of these perched at the top of trees next to a neighborhood pond.

Got the last one.

#BlueJay Monday

Red-bellied #woodpecker. This one pays us a short visit nearly every day.

#MondaysAreForTheBirds!

Here's a white-breasted nuthatch, from Lees Summit, Missouri in 2016.

These birds are great fun to watch as they can run up, AND DOWN tree trunks thanks to that long backwards-facing claw, called the hallux. They also tend to have a lot of personality.

Mourning dove.

Jay Interrupted.

Northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos), the designated #Texas state bird.

A scissor-tailed flycatcher (Tyrannus forficatus), also known as the Texas bird-of-paradise, spotted near Lake Travis in the #Texas Hill Country.

Close Encounters of the Bird Kind

No hummingbird sightings for the past several days, I guess they’ve all moved on south to their winter homes, but we always have #cardinals around.
