Your images of all the birds are wonderful, especially the beautiful shots of both the finches It's amazing that you saw the larks and pipits which were so well camouflaged against the dry earth.I also appreciate your hoopoe shots.I once saw three juvenile Hoopoes perched on our TV aerial, but unlike you I hadn't got my camera with me.I think about that missed opportunity many a time!!:)Breathtakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03883608347810648676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526180646938954660.post-39664707205495811822016-02-06T15:57:58.389+00:002016-02-06T15:57:58.389+00:00Magnificent macros of beautiful birds ~

It's been a challenge to capture the meadowlarks that visit here every winter, but I managed, finally, to get a few last week. Always enjoy visiting here.

I love your pretty Goldfinch and Mistle Thrush. Your vacations photos are lovely, I can almost feel the warm air. The Pipit, Lark, Shrike are all awesome birds but my favorite is the Hoopoes. I would love to see them in person someday. Great post and photos. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post.

It's hard to believe, but spring just isn't that far off. We're already seeing woodpeckers and cardinals scouting nesting spots in the back yard.<br /><br />Your travel brochure photos are spectacular! I'm always amazed at what diversity can be found in such dry locations. <br /><br />We were happy to note that you learned from your encounters with skittish birds that it would be best to lay in wait for them at a local watering hole. We patiently await your processing of the images from that sensible hide.<br /><br />Stay as warm and dry as possible.

I like your style :)<br /><br />You're very dedicated heading out into the cold to top up the feeders too, good to see!
