Feathered Friday
It's the day before #featheredfriday and I like to put the reminder post up a day early so that participants have a spot to place their links. Post your link here and hopefully more people will stop by to see your birds!
I'm hoping to see birds from all around the world!
We have had so much rain this week that it has been difficult to get out to attempt to take any new bird photos!
This male cardinal wasn't too cooperative and only sat still long enough for one photo.
The Rose-Breasted Grosbeaks have had a successful nesting season. At one point I counted 10 fledglings with females together at the feeder.
Each monogamous pair of Grosbeaks incubate 3-5 eggs and this appears to be the 2nd hatch of the season.
And no matter the weather, a mourning dove can always be counted on to show up for a photo!
I'm looking forward to see what birds you have seen this week! And remember you can use the #featheredfriday tag on any of your bird posts. They don't have to be posted on Friday.

Here's my story about hummingbirds and a bee: https://steemit.com/featheredfriday/@keithboone/the-totally-true-and-real-story-of-the-hummingbird-and-the-bee

Thanks so much! :-)
Fantastic hummer photos! Thanks for supporting #featheredfriday!
Thank you! You know I will always support #featheredfriday. Just waiting for a little mana at the moment, and then I'm going to visit a lot of other posts :-)
It's much easier now than when you were doing it! I think most of us have used up our cache of bird photos!
This is my entry
Flamingos at Dortmund Zoo for featheredfriday
Have a nice weekend!
Thanks again, Pix! 😘
Wow i don't think i've ever seen a grossbeak fledgling before. Or maybe i misidentified them as some kind of crowned sparrow.

They look pretty similar to the females, but I was already able to see some bright red pin feathers on a few of them and I suspected they were the boys.
He's wondering where all the jam went.

It's still out there, but I think the orioles have pretty much left and there are not nearly as many fruit eaters around now!

Oh my goodness, we're also getting drenched with rain as well... I have the same issue. No new bird photos this week, and I've had to cancel our planned road trip into the mountains. I've resteemed your beautiful photos, and I'll be back with something from the archives later. I've got some unprocessed stuff to look at.
Everyone's phones keep shouting out flash flood warnings. Hope you can get to the mountains before the weather gets cold
That's a real issue for us... our daughter has moved to Calgary, Alberta in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains and we want to visit. It is a two-day drive for us, but I won't travel in this rain. Last year this time we were travelling and Calgary was shut down by a freak early blizzard and we couldn't get through there. We had to travel far enough south that we were driving right along the Canada/US border to get home. There was just a sprinkle of snow there. Isn't it funny how someone knew just where to draw the border? ;-)
I remember all the difficulties you had on that trip. But lucky you, having a reason to visit Calgary!
What gorgeous shots and I will now look and see if I have any shots I can share tomorrow for Feathered Friday
Thanks! I hope to see a bird picture from you!
I am looking now and should have something i can share tomorrow evening :)
Nice photos! Will try and post my first post hf featheredfriday post before deserved vacations! ;)
Vacations? Where are you going this time?
