Birds In The Creek
Another day with birds on the bay. This time, they were hanging out in the creek in the same spot the eagles like to wash up when the tide comes in -- but the tide was going out. They were feeding on something -- sticking their heads and chest into the creek leaving their buts stuck up into the air, and then back to floating.

That's a nice, peaceful way to spend some time -- watching those birds feeding in such a beautiful setting :-)
ReplyDeletetwas a very peaceful day ll. i could feel myself relax standing on the deck, the sunshine warming me while i was listening to the birds.
ReplyDeletethe barn swallow nest over the deck has a second brood -- the babies are too small to peer over the nest edge but i can hear their peeps. the parent birds constantly travel to and fro, swooping up to the nest and then diving back down towards the creek.
Watching the bird families raising their young is fun too! I miss the bird house we had at our old workplace; year after year we'd watch the sparrow families raising their young 'uns from the birdhouse someone put up years ago. This spring we were able to watch a family of some kind of bird (small, black birds, very cute) raising their family from an opening in the shelter we have in our courtyard at the new workplace.
ReplyDeleteWe seem to be some kind of bird sanctuary at the new workplace, what with all the new trees around and the pond out back, and the hundreds of geese too!
oh LL that sounds lovely. what a wonderful view you have at work -- you can look out back and take that oh so needed mental break that looking at nature can give.
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice mental health break Suz -- if I'm lucky enough to find myself alone out back, I go to the shelter and do that FDL breathing exercise that Petro taught us, and listen to the bird songs...ommmmm! ;-)
ReplyDeleteommmmm!
ReplyDeleteBirds and water and sunshine and peace - inspires me to a new meditation: ommmm nommmmm nommmmm!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this. It's the perfect way to end a night!
