ANOTHER SAMPLER

Good Morning!

It's a beautiful day here! Lots of sunny blue skies - just the right kind of weather to get out and start on that backyard! After I get finished on the computer... LOL It'll get done - all in good time!

Got another grab bag of shots that cover several drives; lots of birds in this one. When the animals are scarce, and the trees are turning, the next thing to go to is the birds. Or insects... I've put labels on them to make more sense of it, and you know how I hate to put labels on things! LOL

Helmeted guineafowl



Wahlberg's eagle



Barbet


Eagle owl







Yellow-billed hornbill. ("flying banana")


Glossy starling






The Eye of Wisdom



Oxpecker, using Public Transportation






Nyala bull. Handsome


Golden Orb. Not as common a sight in the winter


Looks like a slight jaw problem, probably due to an injury


Ready for my close-up!




New resident in the area (Hey has Fatty moved ?? LOL)




Woodpecker. Didn't catch the type



Small mongoose family. Cuddly-looking, but can be rather vicious, I imagine



Burchell's starling


Malachite kingfisher. Another colorful one in this species!




African mantis laying her egg sac. Just like in the States...



Here's looking at...



YOU!




Green-spotted dove





Tree squirrel




Duckling. It was amusing to watch this fella dive completely under water, and resurface some distance away. Alex had a time keeping up with him!



My "patented" ending - the African sunset.
