    Hey Birdie, You got the Look

    Eastern Bluebird Hamburg State Park

    . .

    This curious little fellow seemed to be very interested in his image in the car mirror. Amazingly I was able to get close enough to capture this Eastern Bluebird.

    I hid behind pine trees to get a better shot. I really thought he wanted to be inside the car but stuck to the driver side mirror. I step on a twig, he pauses to look directly at me.

    Wildlife: Birds of the Air – At A Bird Observation Blind

    Sunday Stills: Time to Feed the #Birds

    This trip was one of my State Park Series from our pandemic travels. We visited all the state parks in Georgia. I hope there are a few you have made your way to also.

    I really wanted to visit this park for their Bird Observation Blind. I had seen these on videos of professional photographers on youtube.

    Now was my chance to see some exciting birding up close.

    To my surprise, there were no other birders present that day. I had the whole blind to myself.

    Not bad for my little set up, Canon EOS rebel SL1 and EF75-300mm.

  • Red Shouldered Hawk in the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge

    Red Shouldered Hawk in the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge

    Repost, Read – Throwback Thursday

    On our trip to the Stephen C. Foster State Park May 2021, I got the distinct impression that nature truly ruled here in the Okefenokee Swamp. Everywhere we turned there were animals doing the nature thing. Don’t mind us humans here!

    . .

    Walking to the trading post from our cabin what do we see? Sitting on the wooden fence to children’s swing area was a Red Shouldered Hawk. He really didn’t care about us walking by him. I’m sure he was aware of us but was keenly eyeing some rodent across the road.

    And just like that he took flight! Up into the air, wings spread wide, talons curled back, gliding low near the road and swooping into a nearby tree.

  • Wildlife: Birds of the Air – Up Close with a Barred Owl in the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge 1

    Wildlife: Birds of the Air – Up Close with a Barred Owl in the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge 1

    Yes, he was that close! We startled each other then he started making clicking sounds, and slowly moved his wings back. Hint: Robert,move away quickly! This was his hunting area.

    I checked Youtube when I go home to confirm me theory. Sure enough there was a video about owls clicking and raising their wings. Oddly enough, the first video I found was actually recorded at The Landing, Skidaway Island, Savannah, not far from where I live. Skidaway State Park is located there, another one of our favorite state parks.
