Chickadee eating seeds of dried goldenrod
Watching several goldenrod stems swing gently when there was no breeze mad me curious. Up popped this black-capped chickadee.

NATURE NOTES.
The Osprey nest photo is nice. I do recall a farm set aside for wildlife near here where we live and they had a large field, more or less in a wild state, but with specific bird houses set up on posts and I think they were all occupied.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful shots! I can almost feel the nip in the air.
ReplyDeleteThe red dogwood makes quite a scene.
ReplyDeleteNice November shots. I like the structure of those burrs.

Oh beautiful Camera Girl. B
ReplyDeleteThe field of red is beautiful!
ReplyDeletesweet little burst of blue in the first one and love those burrs. the simplicity of the nesting pole in the field is fantastic
ReplyDeleteWe do have osprey here and they are fine-looking birds. Love that cranberry marsh. Are these actually cranberries that you could pick? Sorry, but I'm a wee bit ignorant about cranberries. Well, other things, too. But...
ReplyDeleteSunday morning, on the 7th hole of our golf course, I hit my tee shot right of a stand of trees, and at the moment after, a beautiful bald eagle flew out of the trees, into the sky to disappear. My camera was back in the golf cart. But what a sight!
Beautiful nature photos!
ReplyDeletepretty red color! love the bur heads, too.
ReplyDeleteWinter is definitely on its way in Ontario!
ReplyDeleteI love the way the dried goldenrod looks and glad the chickadee was finding something to eat. I can remember getting covered in burs as a child when I would crawl into undergrowth. The red osier dogwood stems are gorgeous.
