Sometimes when I spot birds in the yard, I slip out the door to get a closer look. I took these pictures from our deck using a zoom lens.The bird with a spotted breast is a juvenile robin. I believe the adult robin was feeding him. Look, a nice worm!
Another robin was perched in a nearby tree.

Yesterday I made a brief visit to Shenandoah National Park. (I have a pass and it's really close by.) I only went as far as Dickey Ridge Picnic Area.
It's not unusual to see deer at Dickey Ridge. I saw two as I drove into the picnic area. I got out of the car quietly, without closing the door. They let me get within 20 feet or so before they moved off.You're not allowed to feed the animals but they probably know that picnickers have food. They seemed curious but careful.
Beautiful animals, aren't they?
American Robins are pretty but 'our' European robin is the one that always comes to mind at Christmas. Have a good day, Diane

The deer are beautiful...it’s great you have that wonderful park more or less right in your own backyard! But those Robins you captured in your actual yard are wonderful... especially the feeding one (that’s a big baby!).
ReplyDeleteThe deer certainly are pleasing to see.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots!
