Squirrel Appreciation Day
It’s Squirrel Appreciation Day, and this fine creature in Yosemite posed for one of my all-time favorite squirrel photos. It made a quick appearance near our tent in Curry Village on our epic trip in May 2011, and despite how much it seemed to “beg” for something tasty, it had to leave empty-handed. We play by the rules, but it was still a good sport and posed for several nice photos!
National Bird Day
In honor of National Bird Day, here are some photographs I took during our recent blizzard. We gave birdseed to many, many birds after the storm, and they posed nicely for some cute photos!
Happy Birding, even in the snow!
Noisy Neighbor
Earlier this week, I heard this noisy songbird just outside my kitchen window. I knew it was a Blue Jay even before I saw it, as their sound is pretty distinctive, and they are fairly common birds in my area. When I looked out the window, I actually saw two of them. I had never been so close to a Blue Jay before, even though a window separated us, so I grabbed the camera and took some decent photos of them, despite the fact that they were in the shade of the bush most of the time.
Blue Jays are intelligent, keep tight family bonds and have a little bit of attitude. I enjoyed having a “stare-down” with the one pictured below, and we sized each other up through the window for several minutes. Notice the interesting “crown” on the forehead of this one. Such markings are common for Blue Jays, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen markings so striking as this one.
Blue Jay, a noisy neighbor!
My area is actually on the very edge of their frequented habitat, and we do not see them quite as often as we did years ago. As there are a fairly large number of oak and pecan trees here, though, the blue jays seem to continue to hang around.
Seeing Blue Jays always brings back my memories of seeing them in fairly large numbers at my parents’ house growing up. We had a two large pecan trees in our back yard, and the jays frequented them to eat the pecans. My father would get a little frustrated at times with the large number of pecans we lost to them, but we also enjoyed seeing them, too. At times, it was so noisy in the yard that we had trouble hearing each other in the kitchen inside the house. It is a fun memory, and I always enjoy seeing these pretty birds with big attitudes!
Full House at the Feeder
With the recent addition of a third feeder in our backyard, we are seeing an ever-increasing number of birds stopping by for a little snack. The smaller birds are certainly enjoying this new feeder, including a good number of House Sparrows, which are always a delight to see.
After all the fabulous rains of the past few weeks, everything seems to just be flourishing once again, including the wildlife, and what a great sight this is to see after years of drought. A true blessing indeed!
It’s a full house of House Sparrows in line at the new feeder, along with a curious dove.

Merlin App
This is a little “bonus” post this week here at Animal Wonder, as I wanted to share this great new app that I just discovered for both iPhone and Android phones. It is from the good folks at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, which is a site that I already frequent for bird identification, and I’m so happy to have this free app on my Android phone now. It is a pretty large app, so I installed it on my phone’s SD card instead of directly on the phone. I am already so impressed that it is totally free, too.
The app is simply called “Merlin,” and you can find it at the link below. Give it a try soon, especially with your children and grandchildren!

Noisy Neighbors – Mynahs
In mid-May, we were fortunate to be able to spend a week in Maui. We stayed in a great condo and enjoyed breakfast on our lanai each morning. As usual when dining outdoors in the islands, we were joined by various birds who were obviously hoping for a handout. The most vocal of our breakfast visitors were the Common Mynah Birds, and my goodness, these birds can certainly make some noise! Their antics are something to behold, and they were quite glad to put on a free breakfast show for us every single day.
Mynahs are natives of South Asia, and they were introduced to the islands in 1865 by William Hillebrand to help control worm infestations. And while we thoroughly enjoyed their vocal antics each morning, apparently they are not as appreciated by permanent residents in Hawaii most of the time due to their behavior and some other factors, even though they also provide several benefits as well. They are truly a mixed bag, it seems. But, for us, we enjoyed their company each morning, for sure.
In North America, the Mynahs can be found in Hawaii and some areas of Florida, and they are members of the Starling (Sturnidae) family, known for their “diverse and complex vocalizations.” That maybe an understatement where these Mynahs are concerned!

House Finch – Male
Thank you for hanging in here with me at Animal Wonder during a prolonged absence on my part. At Christmas, my sweet mother became quite ill and ultimately passed away in late January. Life has been in a bit of upheaval since that time, but thankfully, things are starting to return to normal.
I also have a new camera and lenses, and I am excited to once again pursue my photography hobby and share photos here regularly once again. I sincerely appreciate your follow and will do my best to continue sharing quality animal photographs that will brighten your day and further your love and appreciation of these wonderful creatures that share our world with us.
My goal is to resume posting weekly here, starting today!
A male House Finch at one of our backyard feeders
We have been fortunate to have a fairly large number of House Finches visiting our feeders this year, and this pretty boy posed nicely for me a few days ago. The female is more neutral in color, not having the bright red features. We are truly enjoying their daily visits!
Snow Dove
For my final post of 2014 here at Animal Wonder, I would like to share one of my favorite photos. I am quite partial to this particular photo because it is one of two photos of mine that have been awarded first place ribbons in local competition. The actual award-winning photo was a black and white version of this photo that still hangs in our home today in a simple black frame with a white mat.
I enjoy watching and photographing our backyard birds at the bird bath and the feeders so much, but some photos are just more memorable than others. This lovely White-winged Dove posed beautifully during a surprise snow storm in March 2010, and it sat there for the longest time, seemingly just relaxing and enjoying the scenery in the yard.
I gave this photo to friends and family on our Christmas cards the next year, the only time I have actually given cards with a photo of mine on them. Without a doubt, it is my favorite photo of the birds in our yard to date, and I’m happy and grateful that we have a wonderful yard where many birds take refuge and come for food and water.
If you have followed posts here at Animal Wonder over the past few weeks, you have probably noticed that my Wordless Wednesday posts have featured various birds at this bird bath in our yard. I cannot begin to convey what joy I have had watching birds at this bath over the past few years, and some of their antics have been absolutely hilarious. Some are polite, and some are bullies. That is the way of nature, but all of them seem to find their time at the bird bath eventually.
As it is time to take a little break from blogging to properly prepare for and enjoy our holiday celebrations with family, as well as a fun little vacation, I bid you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and I will be back in early January! May we all be mindful of the Reason for the Season as we celebrate with those we love.

Christmas Bird Count
Did you know that starting December 14, and going through January 5, the yearly Christmas Bird Count will take place? Did you know that such a thing even existed?
I first learned about this project a few months ago through one of our local state parks that participates in the project. It is a long-time project that has apparently spanned over 100 years and is also a holiday tradition for many people and families. It is the longest running Citizen Science survey in the world, and I have enjoyed learning more about it. While I will not be able to participate in a nearby project this year, it is something that I am going to explore further in future years.
The National Audubon Society has a great page on this project, so I will just happily link to it here, for anyone else that might be interested in participating this year or sometime in the future!

Singing in the Sunshine
Those little nimble musicians of the air, that warble forth their curious ditties, with which nature hath furnished them to the shame of art. — Izaak Walton
This noisy fellow got my attention one beautiful spring afternoon as he was chirping away in our backyard while perched atop on of the sprinkler heads. He posed in this spot for several minutes, and his boisterous chirping is what got my attention as I worked inside the house. I was afraid there might be a bird in distress in the yard, but happily, it was just this guy singing away.
Red winged Blackbird
In my previous Wordless Wednesday post, I shared a comical photo of two birds going “bottoms up” at the bird bath, and one was a female Red-winged Blackbird. The female looks nothing like the male in coloring and is mostly brown. The male’s red and yellow coloring on the wings is so striking, and he can either puff up or hide that colorful shoulder patch, depending on how confident he feels. On this day, I think it is safe to say that he felt quite confident as he happily chirped and chirped atop the sprinkler, sharing his joy of the return of spring for all to hear.
Or, perhaps he was just hollering for me to come add water to the bird bath, too. 😉

Deer in the Valley
“She has a memory of trees and fields and nothing more.”
― James Thurber, The White Deer
Deer in Yosemite Valley
I adore this quote and idyllic picture together, as the quote just describes this scene so perfectly! Yosemite is one of my favorite places to visit of all time, and I took this photo just a short distance from Yosemite Falls in the valley. I have more animal photos to share from this beautiful place in the future, too. This photo was from our epic camping trip at Curry Village in May 2011 when we actually encountered a late season snow storm on our first day there. Thankfully, the snow melted quickly and left the area refreshed and the waterfalls flowing in full force. It was a trip of a lifetime, for sure.

Sea Turtle at Queen’s Bath
Over the past month, I shared a few photos that I have taken of birds while visiting Hawaii, and today, I would like to once again return to Kauai to a somewhat famous area on the north shore of that island, Queen’s Bath.
One does not just simply walk to Queen’s Bath. It is a strenuous hike across some rugged black cliffs to get to it, but one afternoon while on a hike by myself, I decided to give it a try with my camera in hand. I look back on this little adventure now and realize that it was probably not such a great idea to attempt such a feat because a rogue wave would probably have washed me out to sea forever. I just wanted a picture of Queen’s Bath, but I won’t make that trek again. Please don’t make it if you go. Many people have died doing exactly what I did on this day. Just look at the pictures online and be happy to see it there.
After I hiked over the rocks toward Queens Bath, something caught my eye out in the water.
Thankfully, I was close enough to get a decent picture of this lovely sea turtle as it came up for some air in the beautiful blue water of the Pacific. I just stood there and watched it for as long as I could see it before it finally swam out of sight.
After the turtle departed from sight, I remember just standing in that same spot a bit longer, looking out over the vast expanse of blue ocean. The thought occurred to me that there was basically nothing except ocean in that direction for thousands of miles, and I felt very humbled to just be there in that moment with no distractions around except the crashing of the waves below me. It was amazing to just be there to marvel at God’s wonderful creation on this picture-perfect day.
Sea turtles are among the most ancient creatures alive today, and they have been around since the time of the dinosaurs, over 110 million years. Just think of that little fact. I cannot even wrap my mind around it.
What a special treat it was to see such a rare and magnificent creature on this beautiful day in May 2008.

Ice Birds
In January 2010, a significant ice storm hit our area and caught us by surprise. Not only did it catch us by surprise, it seemed to also catch the birds off guard, too.
Ice Birds
These White-winged Doves rode out the worst of the storm in a big tree in our neighbor’s yard, and happily, they managed to survive the cold blast and the ice just fine, despite all of the ice surrounding them. We put out bird seed and water for them, even though it was hard to keep the water in the bird bath from freezing for several days.
I felt sorry for these birds and gazed on them in this tree on several occasions during that memorable storm. We all survived the ice and cold, even though we lost several branches on our red oak tree. So, with a wink and a nod to Mother Nature as winter once again comes our way this year, I am happy to share this photo today. I hope we do not have such a horrible ice storm in our forecast any time soon, but if we do, I will probably jump out there once again with my trusty camera and be sure to have plenty of bird seed on hand, too.
This is the final post of my month of bird posts for Blog Her’s NaBloPoMo, or National Blog Posting Month. I have truly enjoyed sharing some of my favorite birds here, along with their photographs. While this particular blogging challenge is over, I am happy to continue posting here going forward on all sorts of animals, not just birds. While I have a special place in my heart for all of my fine-feathered friends for sure, I’m also excited to broaden the subject matter here now, too!
I’m also happy to report that I met my goal to share a post each day here in November! This is a first for me, and it has been a very helpful exercise in several ways, with lessons on blogging that I will definitely use going forward. I learned so much about birds, about blogging and about myself in the process. Taking a thirty-day blogging challenge is an activity that I highly recommend to anyone that loves to write. It has been a surprisingly fun challenge for me, even more than I thought it would be going into it.
I’ll be back soon, just not every day going forward. I still have many photographs and stories to share, and I hope to also share animal photos and stories from others here at WordPress over time, too. Thanks again for coming along on the ride! 😀

Become Part of the Silence

Park De Las Palomas in Old San Juan
One of the most unexpectedly delightful places that we have visited in the past decade is Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. We spent only a very short time in the old city in March 2007, both before and after our cruise that departed from the port on the island. It was such a memorable experience, and Old San Juan is a place that we would love to return to and spend much more time exploring. There is just so much to see and do there, but we did find time to take a great walking tour while we were there.
As we strolled around the old city on our walking tour, we came upon Parque De Las Palomas, or Pigeon Park.
Parque De Las Palomas – Old San Juan
Without a doubt, I have never seen so many pigeons in one place in my entire life!

Seeing famous Parque De Las Palomas was such a treat and just added to the wonderful ambiance of the old city. If you visit, just watch where you sit and where you walk! 😉

Thankful for a Seagull
A lone seagull at Bolivar
On this wonderful Thanksgiving Day, most of us have turkeys in mind when we think of birds, not seagulls. So, what does this unassuming little seagull have to do with Thanksgiving?
There is a story that goes along with this gull sighting, and it is a story that I want to share here sometime. I will just say for now that I am thankful for this little bird that almost made me cry crocodile tears when I saw it a few years ago. This is far from my best bird photo, but it is one that is near and dear to my heart because of the circumstance where I saw this bird.
We will be enjoying another fabulous meal together with family at our home today, and I will most definitely give thanks for my many blessings once again. I wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving, and I thank you for following me at Animal Wonder and My Five Fs. I count my readers and new friends here among my blessings on this special day, too!
May your day be richly blessed!

Wordless Wednesday – Splashy Grackle
All Original Content — ©animalwonder.wordpress.com — All Rights Reserved
Great Horned Owl in Texas
In April 2012, we visited Caprock Canyons State Park in the Texas Panhandle over Easter weekend with a large group of our family members for a weekend camping trip in our RVs for the very first time. We had such a fun and memorable time together while cooking out, hiking and just spending time together while observing the true reason for the holiday together, too.
One memorable experience for us from this trip was seeing a Great Horned Owl for the very first time. A woman came to the park that weekend and showed off some of her amazing birds of prey while educating both the kids and adults about them. This beautiful owl was one of her birds.
Great Horned Owl
Our group went on a guided “owl walk” along one of the trails not long before sunset, and even though we failed to see an owl in the wild, we caught up with a rattlesnake on the trail instead. So, our guide opted to turn the group around and just see the handler’s animals before darkness settled in the campground.
This was such a beautiful bird! Other than seeing one in a zoo sometime, I doubt I will ever get this close to such a magnificent bird again.

Boat-tailed Grackles of Florida
One of the most memorable experiences I’ve ever had on vacation was taking an air boat ride through the marshland of eastern Florida a few years ago at Sawgrass Recreation Park. While the boat ride itself was just an amazing experience, I had the opportunity to capture what I consider to be one of the best series of bird photos that I have taken to date. I was at the right place at the right time with my trusty camera ready to go.
The beautiful male Boat-tailed Grackle flew onto our boat as we were parked far out in the marsh to look at an alligator nearby, and the grackle proceeded to put on a big, noisy show right in front of me. In fact, he entertained everyone on the boat for several minutes. The lighting conditions were pretty much perfect, and I had such a grand time photographing and chuckling at this bird that was quite a character!
He was a beautiful thing, and his colors showed up so vividly, including his tail that is described at the Cornell birding site as “ridiculously long.”
Boat-tailed Grackle – Male
A much smaller, and less colorful, female also roosted nearby in the tall grasses, too.
Boat-tailed Grackles – Male and Female
Boat-tailed Grackle – Male – putting on quite a show for us!
Boat-tailed Grackle – Female – looked almost nothing like her male counterpart
Picture-perfect photographic opportunities happen so seldom where birding is concerned for me, and I will always remember these two lovely birds and the entertaining show we all enjoyed by the male. I will also remember the huge alligator that was resting about thirty feet away from our boat while all of this was going on, too. Part of me was so excited to take these great photos, but the other part of me surely wanted to keep a watchful eye on that alligator!
Boat-tailed Grackles most typically live near the East coast salt-water areas in the United States. Just look for the male’s ridiculously long tail! 😉

Muscovy Duck
In my previous post, I shared a great photo of a beautiful Spotted Dove in Kauai. While we are in Kauai, let’s just stay there and visit another beautiful and unique bird.
Muscovy Duck – Smith’s Tropical Paradise
I believe this is a Muscovy Duck or at least a variation of one, and I saw it as I strolled the beautiful garden of Smith’s Tropical Paradise with my camera in May 2008. What appears to be a bit unique on this particular duck is the red and black highlight on its face, instead of just a sold red highlight that seems to be more typical of Muscovy Ducks.
This was a delightful creature that was good to pose for me for a couple of minutes as I took its photograph. Strolling this beautiful garden was such a great experience, and I have even more photos to share over time here from that visit.

Hawaiian Spotted Dove
Spotted Dove – Kauai
In May 2008, our family enjoyed a wonderful week of vacation together on the north shore of Kauai. It was a special Mother’s Day and birthday treat for me, as I celebrated my 50th birthday while we were there. We rented a condo that overlooked the ocean from a cliff, and I enjoyed every single moment that we were there. This was the trip that firmly convinced me how much I love this place, too.
We enjoyed most of our meals at the condo on the lanai that overlooked the ocean, and we were frequently visited by many beautiful birds during and after our outdoor meals. Some were a bit more brave than others, too. We know to refrain from feeding birds unless we have the appropriate bird seed, but these lovely creatures still enjoyed coming to clean up after us when we were done with our meals. They also just seemed to come to visit at other times, and such was the case when I took the great close-up photo of the beautiful Spotted Dove on the lanai. No doubt, it was quite accustomed to people, as it posted so nicely for this photo as I was right next to it on it lanai. Using a bit of fill flash helped to capture the image with more detail, and I was just amazed to realize that I was actually close enough to even use a fill flash for a bird photo. That was a first for me, I think.
Spotted Doves were frequent visitors on our lanai
Spotted Doves are quite common on the island. They were first introduced to the Hawaiian Islands in the 1800’s from the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, and they are beautiful, colorful birds. I doubt that I ever see one quite this close with my camera again, and I’m happy to share these photos today and relive that fun experience once again!

A Very Special Little Visitor
This delightful little bird holds a special place in my memory, as a photo of this little bird was my first photo to ever win an award, a second place ribbon in a local competition a few years ago. I took these photos as it perched on a thin wire in our backyard.
I have struggled to identify this bird ever since I took the photo, but after some research, I believe it could be a Ruby-crowned Kinglet. If this is incorrect, I hope someone will share more information as to what it is. I could almost describe it as a small Mockingbird, too, but I don’t know if could be a juvenile or not. I would love to finally know for sure what this special little bird was!
Possibly a Ruby-crowned Kinglet?
This is the only time I have seen one of these little birds in our yard, which was in mid-September 2009. Our area is just outside the year-round habit area for these Kinglets, so it was probably not too unusual to see one. I have looked for others since that time but have not seen any more in our yard since then. Mockingbirds are not uncommon for our area, even though I do not typically see that many close to home.
Seeing and photographing this special little bird a few years ago was an important bird sighting that helped to stir my interest in bird watching even more than in the past, and winning my first award for the photo also helped to stir my desire to become a better hobby photographer, too.
Birding and photography are such great hobbies and are even better together!

Pebble Beach Seagull
In early June 2012, my daughter and I enjoyed a great weekend together in northern California, seeing some new-to-both-of-us sights all along the coast from Santa Cruz to Carmel that were so beautiful. We drove the gorgeous 17-Mile Drive at Pebble Beach, and even though it rained the entire time, I enjoyed it tremendously.
I never cease to be amazed at how often birds just seem to want to pose for pictures, especially seagulls. This lovely bird posed beautifully, despite the inclement weather which seemed to be more of a bother to me than the bird. Fortunately, the rain let up a bit as we stopped at this beautiful spot and allowed me to grab some nice photos to keep. And maybe it’s just me, but those look more like boulders than pebbles to me! 😉
17-Mile Drive is a memorable thing to do for anyone in the area of Monterey and Carmel. I highly recommend it, rain or shine!

Moody Parrots
Parrots at Moody Gardens
In April 2008, I enjoyed a trip to Moody Gardens in Galveston for the first time, and what a treat it was! Inside the beautiful Rainforest Pyramid, my friend, my mother and I saw so many beautiful tropical birds that were allowed to fly freely inside the pyramid. These two beautiful blue parrots especially caught my eye, and I enjoyed watching and photographing them for several minutes. I took many great photos here, and I’m so happy that I did.
On September 13, 2008, just five months after our visit, Hurricane Ike hit Galveston and did a great deal of damage to Moody Gardens and the Rainforest Pyramid. The Rainforest Pyramid did not reopen again until April 2009. Much of the wildlife survived, although sadly, about 5% did not.
I will always cherish our visit to this special place and look forward to visiting again in the future at some point. I highly recommend that anyone visiting the area put this place on their priority list to see, too.
I do not know what kind of parrots these are, but I will happily update this post if anyone can help with this identification. I just hope they were among the many that survived the hurricane.

Posing at Alcatraz
I have always wanted to paint.
Well, let me comment further on that statement, as it needs a bit more clarification.
I have always wanted to paint as an artist. However, that particular talent is not one that I have been blessed with in any way, shape or form. Nevertheless, I admire those that have the ability to paint so much, and I love to view good paintings and walk through great art galleries.
In 2011, hubby captured this photo of a lovely seagull on a visit to Alcatraz Island and gave it to me when he returned home. He said that the gull just seemed to want to pose for a picture and sat there quite still for the longest time in a perfect spot with the sun shining nicely on it.
I decided to do my best to create a dry brush portrait of this special bird from the original photo, even though it was all done digitally.
Flying Free at Alcatraz
Sometimes it is nice to have a little creative fun with photos, especially when I would love to be able to paint the picture instead of just capturing it with the camera. Now, give me a paint-by-number set, and I might have a fighting chance!
I have loved this special little artistic project since 2011, and I’m happy to share it today!

The Pole Sitter
Pole-Sitting Bird – An American Robin
Over the years, I have truly enjoyed watching and photographing the birds in our own backyard so very much. A few years ago, we installed a couple of wooden poles in strategic spots in the yard in an attempt to train our male poodle to “use” them instead of some new plants that we had just planted, and while that was a successful project in that respect, we also soon witnessed several birds that seemed to rather enjoy just perching on top of the poles.
The pretty robin pictured above was by far the most frequent pole-sitter in our yard that year, and I enjoyed watching and photographing it on several occasions. This photo was my favorite photo of them all, and I still just have to smile thinking about how this robin would sit there for long periods of time, sometimes for several hours.
This year, our area finally received some much-needed rain after several years of drought, and it was a delight to watch the robins come to our yard and peck many worms from the ground. On a few mornings, our yard looked like a feeding frenzy had occurred overnight, with grass sticking up everywhere from the feeding escapades of the robins. Without a doubt, the robins were as glad to have the rains return once again as we were.
Birds are such delightful creatures of God and never cease to amaze me at times!
