Goodbye Birds

I hope I'll see you next year. As the warblers prepare to head north, I am packing to leave my retreat space at Koinonia. It has been a very productive time and I am primed and ready to continue working now that my creative juices have started to flow.

Goodbye, yellow warbler! Find a nice home in Canada!





I guess, you'll be sticking around, Catbird, so I'll keep my eye out for you.



Here are a few more of my friends that I saw in the last parts of my stay here.



A little clay colored sparrow from the meadow:



Another of those Kinglets?





Here is what I think is a song sparrow (although there is a branch right across the chest where the black spot is supposed to be that allows one to identify it!)



Here are some wood ducks that I startled in the lake. I wish I could have gotten closer - they are truly dramatic birds!!



Take good care everyone!! Say goodbye to birds - my next posts will probably be about something completely different!!

I've enjoyed seeing all your bird pictures. The ones we get in our garden are dull by comparison!
