Flowers blooming in the yard in early May.
We had a bad storm one night that formed a small pond on the other side of the golf course. Early the next morning I saw a turkey hanging around the newly formed pond. I grabbed my camera and ran out before the golfers came through. These were taken with my 400mm lens and are cropped up a little but she didn’t seem to mind me standing there. She just went about her preening and strutting around.
A limpkin stopped by while I was shooting the turkey.
The usual birds were coming through the backyard in early May. I’ve been seeing the brown thrashers pretty regularly now.
The baby bluebirds were old enough to cruise around the area. They nest in my neighbor’s nest boxes (several doors down, the neighbors have been living there for years so I think the birds are use to using their boxes). This young one was sitting on the feeder pole in the rain.
Another visit from an armadillo and I always take a shot of the squirrels if they are doing something cute. This time he was just sitting back and relaxing.
The full moon from the driveway.
I especially liked the sharp captures of the woodpecker in flight. Having just moved from south Florida to Connecticut, I was excited to have flocks of turkeys roam on our property. W bring in our feeders at night because a bear is prowling the neighborhood.
Beautiful flowers and interesting birds and wildlife. The turkey looked large and I loved seeing the armadillo as we don’t see thenm in Colorado.
It’s always a treat to spot a turkey for me. You’ve shared some grand images here! Thanks for joining the party at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2022/07/a-few-things-blooming-around-homeplace.html
