The current Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Feeding and Watching the Birds.’ See more responses here.

I rarely see Nutmeg Mannikins around the house, but when the Cane Grass goes to seed, they show up in force.

The Pueo below made short work of this unfortunate mouse. no chewing involved!

    Your bird photos are remarkable.. I looked back at a few other attached ones.. The waxwing photos, thanks to their brilliant red detailing, are expecially wonderful and your choices of when to snap the shutter are right on. You had comments closed on all those blogs so had to comment here!

      Thanks for those kind words Judy. I figure if I take enough photos some of them have to turn out! I turned the comments off for posts after 30 days because I was getting bombarded with spam. It’s worked really well and I rarely got comments on old posts anyway. I’m glad you took the time to comment here.
