...Another wonderful posting at Another Bird Blog! <br /><br />It's difficult to fathom it's already time for migration! Now, if I can just manage to get out of doors soon.<br /><br />Fascinating to learn how different species handle molting. And how interesting that some, such as the Shelduck, time it so the entire species population isn't molting, and therefore vulnerable, at the same time.<br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing your birding outings. I, for one, certainly appreciate your considerable efforts!<br /><br />Wally Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121368850135565674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526180646938954660.post-88228270441967152892016-08-07T15:44:14.938+01:002016-08-07T15:44:14.938+01:00Hey Phil...these shore birds are awesome, aren'...Hey Phil...these shore birds are awesome, aren't they?

Love your sht of it and the Egret. The year I started birding was the year the first Little Egret was seen in N. Ireland, then we did not have any Woodpeckers at al and nnow we have the GS woodpeacer breeding in the past few years so there is hope for the Avocet coming over Phil! I hope you have a lovely week ahead of you.Margaret Birding For Pleasurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00400663056547331997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526180646938954660.post-7318864636646324982016-08-06T02:12:21.772+01:002016-08-06T02:12:21.772+01:00It's very encouraging to see the Avocets hav...It's very encouraging to see the Avocets have a successful breeding season. I remember when the species was a poster boy for the RSPB. In fact I have a framed photograph of an Avocet with chicks in my office. It was given to me about thirty years ago by an English lady who used to visit Canada every year for her grand niece's birthday. Great post, as always, Phil.David M.

I like this news a lot.<br /><br />As for your birds and birding outing this week...I enjoyed reading. The owl DID show up for you, but disappeared. That would be MY luck. I've only seen two owls in the few years I've been birding...at least in the 'wild'. I don't think I can count the one in the hawk watch 'show'. But it WAS a Barn Owl!! lol. The two I HAVE seen are the Barred Owl and the Long Eared Owl. I'm still huntin'....there has been a burrowing owl reported but Bud and I have never found it....yet!!<br /><br />Oh, and I must say I think your Avocets are much more attractive than ours.Hootin Annihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08811326085498312568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526180646938954660.post-39178455932513653732016-08-05T19:39:03.081+01:002016-08-05T19:39:03.081+01:00Just what I needed today, Phil!
