For the Ragtag Daily Press #60: quarry.
This is a white crowned sparrow being very cautious. I know the song and was answering back, with my weird human accent. You can listen to the different songs here.

In the orchard
From Finnriver on Saturday, at the Interdependence Day Celebration.
Guard geese?
They seem to be enjoying the sunny day and people and music and kiddie pool too.
beach gold
Walking the beach Saturday at the -3.0 tide, the first bird we saw on the beach was… a pair of goldfinches. Only one in this picture. But there were two down enjoying the sun and the water and the seaweed. I don’t think of goldfinches as shore birds, but they didn’t seem to care what I thought….

house duck with mermaid
For Wordless Wednesday.
flirt
Here is a Ruddy Duck, in the midst of a display. There were two males, with the fabulous blue beaks, and two more subtle females. This male was pursuing one of the females. She kept escaping and went near the other male and female. Safety first.
family
I took this distant family shot zoomed out and saved the identification for today: a family of hooded mergansers. The feathered hoods are tucked back and this is in the early morning.
cautious
I hope your Friday is good and prayers for those near the erupting volcanoes and anyone else in difficulties.
I could hear this bird chipping. We had a conversation but it was unwilling to come out of the thicket.
bird and sun
For the Daily Prompt: juxtapose.
When bird and sun are juxtaposed, I hear music.
wire
For the Weekly Photo Prompt: twisted.
Sometimes with small birds, I catch the photograph with the zoom and I don’t know who it is until afterwards. The clue here was the tiny crest: the cedar waxwings are back!
The wire is twisted, and the bird peeking over it’s shoulder at me. There were two, and they flew right away.
