Avocets

We saw these Avocets at The Great Salt Plains during fall migration. It was sweet!

Painted Bunting

So my friend (Diana) told me she had a Painted Bunting on her feeder on Sunday (right, I thought). She emailed me some photos.

We do not get Painted Buntings in Norman, Oklahoma in the winter....It doesn't happen....ever...errr except this winter. It is a Painted Bunting and it is winter. Everyone is amazed and excited about this bird. He has been eating White Proso Millet and loving it! I hope I get a chance to go see it. Amazing!

Cardinals at sunset

Saw this an could not pass up the photo op.

Brown Creeper

Here is a Brown Creeper.

In Oklahoma they come in the fall and stay into the spring.

Blue blue Christmas? WHAT?

 This little guy is an Eastern Bluebird.

 Here in Oklahoma the Bluebirds are here year round.

 They are always on the lookout for insects.

This time of year they are also eating the berries that are around.

If you are lucky enough to have these in your yard think about feeding them mealworms. They love mealworms.

American White Pelicans

So...We saw a bunch of pelicans at the lake this past weekend. Way stinking cool!

Great Blue Heron

 The Great Blue Heron is a common sight here in Oklahoma (and around the US).

 You will often see them hunting for food solo.

So what do they eat?  Their diet include fish, amphibians, reptiles, small mammals, insects, and other birds. I love these birds...oh heck all birds.
