In the morning, I saw this great blue heron on my neighbor’s dock.
Later in the afternoon, he was sleeping on our dock.
Every once in a while he would look around. I call him Mr. Grumpy Face.
Back to sleep.
The neighborhood osprey was back again with lots of annoying visitors.
A ring billed gull sat across the boat lift from the osprey. Watching his every bite.
That’s a big fish. I don’t know why he wouldn’t share.
Then a kingfisher landed on the same side.
The kingfisher took off after a few minutes when he realized the osprey wasn’t giving up his lunch.
Then a few minutes later, a little blue heron starts to bother him.
Not in my backyard but in my in-laws front yard. A screech owl has been sleeping in the roof overhang on the corner of their house. He’s there sporadically. I finally put my camera and long lens in the car on Christmas day and was able to get the above when we pulled into the driveway. I think we’re going to have to name him.
All of the above except for the last picture were taken through the bedroom window during Christmas week.

Enjoyed visiting. That osprey was a slow eater, wasn’t he?
Fantastic birds seen from your window. That was certainly a big fish for the Osprey and I love “Big ears” in the last shot!
Those are fabulous photos of the osprey.
What wonderful shore birds in your backyard ~ Great shots!
You get such interesting backyard visitors. That screech owl is adorable.
Awesome variety of back yard birds, Dina! I love the Osprey and kingfishers.. And the owl is cool too. Have a happy week!
Love those osprey photos!
You could just stay home and look out of your bedroom window and get better pictures than I do when I go out looking! (But I’m glad you don’t!)….. I especially love the Kingfisher with the osprey — amazing shot!!!
