Sorry I was so late posting but . . . sometimes, caring for one's nearest and dearest in the presence of Mr.Alzheimer, tends to put quite a number of other things out of mind an reach.<br />I wonder if there is a blogging malaise setting in as most memes have a noticeable drop in participants. Is it the change inn seasons, the full moon, or other more regional influences?

I absolutely love the colors in the first turkey image and your commentary couldn't be better. It is always fun and sensible to equate animal ways to our own humanity. I think it brings us in closer alignment with the animal kingdom. Always a wise and helpful way to view our place on this planet. Love the bokeh on the red tail hawk and bobolink, both perched so daintily on their little branches, to bring them into high relief. Your birds are so alert, lively and elegant! You bring me so close to their reality!Stickup Artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028394186285973772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475638899054945042.post-64214684710294159052011-09-13T20:24:17.266-04:002011-09-13T20:24:17.266-04:00you are sharing some awesome photo's this week...you are sharing some awesome photo's this week. i love the turkey vulture....i have one saved for next week.<br /><br />thanks for hosting this, my newest addiction!!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16823369215793154260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475638899054945042.post-68753609089166491102011-09-13T19:50:59.405-04:002011-09-13T19:50:59.405-04:00You always have a great post, Springman!

For us it is an incredibly rare bird and set the grape vine alight across the UK. I was one of the fortunate twenty or so who got to see it before it was gone the next day. Cue hundreds of birders staking out an area of grass that no longer held anything!Adam Tilthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02511062199868213059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475638899054945042.post-87279243692154302342011-09-13T16:45:57.213-04:002011-09-13T16:45:57.213-04:00It is so fun to read what you have to say. :) You ...It is so fun to read what you have to say. :) You are a good writer as well as a good photographer of birds. :) And you know a lot I wish I did. <br /><br />The hawk and the owl are my favourites today.NatureFootstephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01340635075481959029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475638899054945042.post-41205236296774069862011-09-13T16:18:33.536-04:002011-09-13T16:18:33.536-04:00Superb post as usually!
