The Best Safari Ever – Part 2

Yesterday I introduced you to some friendly deer I met while walking around the pond at Bay City State Recreation Area.  I was beyond thrilled to be able to get those pictures.  But never fear, I still got a lot of bird pictures too…

This little guy is what is technically known as a LBB (little brown bird).  If any of my birder friends can help me identify this I would be most grateful.

Can it be?  Yes! It’s the Bluebird of happiness!  Back lit and basking in the morning sun.

Brown-Headed Cowbirds.  I think one is trying pick up the other.

A Mute Swan, the common swan found in parks everywhere.

One of my favorites, the Red-Winged Blackbird.

This one was exciting, because it was a new species for me – A Redhead.  I believe this is a migrant that was just passing through.  I do not think they are normally found here.

Mrs. Redhead stretching her wings.

Perhaps my favorite bird of them all, the Cardinal.

Birds on a wire…Another nice look at a Red-Wing.

And further down the wire we find a Tree Swallow.  Why do these birds always seem to be sitting with their butt ends pointed toward me?

And finally, what spring walk would be complete without a Robin?

Thanks for letting me show off my birds.  I hope you enjoyed them!
