For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: laundry.
Robins have no laundry. They have to build and maintain a nest and their own health still. And do they have to sing for health?

small joys
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt rus-in-urbe.
I am not in a city. I am in a town. But still, when the flock shows up at my feeder, I feel such joy watching them.
flock
Every so often I get the flock at my feeder. I did this morning. I think these are bushtits.
shy singer
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: euphonious.
This is a wren from last summer. I tried to photograph this glorious singer, but she hopped around very quickly, avoiding the camera.
Mundane Monday #201: contrast
For Mundane Monday #201, my prompt is contrast. I like the contrast of the sunlit leaves behind the dark mystery bird in this picture. This is taken on North Beach yesterday. I am not sure if this is an immature bald eagle or a golden eagle.
Link your contrast photographs or experiment with contrast and I will post links next week.

Bushboy is cropping photographs to a different world.
winter bird
Our snow is gone, but I heard on bird note how the Anna’s hummingbirds survive. One morning the temperature here was 14 degrees F, and then the hummingbird was out as soon as it was light. Dive bombing me as I brought out the feeder after thawing it. Bird note says that they can slow their metabolism, like a mini hibernation, during the freezing temperatures. This helps them expand their range and get a jump on the humming birds that go south.

tapping
Out in the sun and I hear a tapping. Where? I try to echolocate the sound like a bat. There!
eagle angle 9
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: flight.
This photograph delights me. The young eagle is so ruffled and scruffy compared to the parent. Feathers all every which way, like a gangly teenager. And looks a bit sullen and grumpy, too. My teens were certainly hungry all the time and I suspect that the eagles were out because they are hungry too, so early in the spring.
Thank you, eagles!
As we walk away from the tree, here is a shot back. Both are still present but you do have to look for them. I look for the shape from a distance.
