Oregon Junko Bird Found A Seed

I was watching this Oregon Junko and noticed a seed nearby, glad he did too!

He picked it up, tried to swallow it and out the seed came!

Must either not have been a seed? Or to big for this junko to swallow?

Anyhoo I like to watch the birds do what they do if I was watching them or not.

Elk Herd In The Early Morning ~ Central Oregon

First thing we seen last Saturday is this herd of Elk.

They were pretty close to our little town! They were laying down in this farmers field. But when they noticed someone giving them attention they started getting up and getting nervous.

The morning was very nasty weather wise. Snow was falling, it was foggy and I really did not want to see the elk running in this weather.

These all look like bulls. These elk we have here are very..... shy? Paranoid? In the field they had nothing to hide behind.

Mountain Chickadee Found Here In Oregon

I found this Mountain Chickadee watching the horses and I from one of the trees.

Several chickadee species are out, this one has the stripes.

They eat bugs and seeds and I find they are often with other birds.

Cute little guys!!

If you would like to hear what this bird sounds like there is a great voice capture at the " allaboutbirds.org " site.

The Motion Of A Cat Running

I observe things. I caught one of the barn cats running off from me and the horses yesterday.

The domestic cat , like other cat species, is very graceful. Very agile.

I feel only in still photography can one really see just how graceful and agile they truly are!!
