This morning I heard a most beautiful song and had to investigate where it was coming from. saw this bird inspecting our birdhouse. he was standing there, then flying into it, coming out again and starting all over. this lasted for quite a while. his or her mate was close by. I've never seen one like and can't identify it.
In Holland we name it : winterkoning (Troglodytes aedon) or because it`s so little: ``winterkoningkje`` We see them in wintertime in our garden too
Beautiful captures and a beautiful collage of those beautiful pic.`s
@pyrrhula Ferry, I love the name "winterkoningkje". they are such lovely little birds which a beautiful voice or song.
tell Ina a Happy Mothers Day for me.
@digitalrn Your're right, Rick. I even got a reply from one of my followers from years ago. he does stop by once in a while. I could always count on him for answers. so it's a House Wren. will add him to my bird folder.
@robv Robert, so nice to see you dropping in again,. I could always count on you if I needed help in identifying something. so thank you for dropping in at the right time.
@bruni Thanks Bruni. She did have . We did go to a museum/exhibition she wanted / like very much to day. Drove 350 km. for it/her.
A same wish for you , dear Bruni.
Nice shots, Bruni! What a cute little bird. If you ever have trouble identifying a bird, go to www.allaboutbirds.org. It not only gives you descriptions but you can listen to the sounds and it gives several images from different angles. You did a great job capturing this wren! Here's a direct link to your bird: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/house_wren/id ... Also, if you ever see a bird that you can't identify, it has similar species at the bottom. If it comes down to it, I email my contact at my local wildlife center.
@prttblues Bev, you`re too nice. thanks so much or the link. I just posted another bird to identify. only saw him for less than a minute. I was sitting at my desk and saw a shadow flitting by the window. I looked up and saw him take a quick stop in our tree and off he went, never to be seen again. I hope not. have a look at todays 2 picture I posted.
