The Routine

Most mornings the Evening Grosbeaks descend onto the deck and eat some [quite a few!] sunflower seeds. It's not unusual to get a pic of more than one in identical poses, like they're exercising or dancing together, not just chowing down on breakfast.

Many thanks for dropping by. I appreciate the new follows and the kind comments and fav's on yesterday's blue jay pic.

Sounds like they're a bonded pair - a lot of bird species mirror their partners :) Beautiful capture of them together - lovely composition and focus :)

Your pictures have reminded me how much I used to enjoy birding. I even took two years of a science/math class in college about bird watching. I hd to give in and dig up my favorite old bird watching book, a little known book called "secrets of the Nest" by Joan Dunning.

[K J Buehl]
