Chicks and flowers and birds in June 2011

 Precious

Chickie baby!

Who's on first? 

Good wallpaper pic. 

A Swallow was watching me walk around from her house. 

Road to Stony Point on Leech Lake. 

Dog at the Upper Whitefish Lake public access 

chasing dragon flies. 

Still haven't figured out the macro settings. 

But I like this one. 

Peaking in on the reeds. 

Simple

Gull Dam - Governors Point on Gull Lake. 

Looks like a jungle!

We have a million goldfinches here at the house. 

Northern Flickers make the strangest sounds. 

Sweetest birds ever... 

That's why there's so many songs about bluebirds.

Haven't downloaded in a while, but here's more pics.

Brown Headed Cow Bird and his lady friend.

Ranunculaceae with flash in the evening.

I'm loving these cows more and more.

Horny Brown Headed Cow Bird

Grass flowers and some beautiful bells. Lily of the Valley?

Baltimore Oriole at his feeder singing away

Orioles aren't supposed to use the humming bird feeders silly!!!  You have your own!

He was copying my whistles in the tree above me and also trying to copy my camera sounds

Yellow Bellied Sap Sucker in Bemidji on May 2 just before I left.

She was hiding from me a lot.

Female Rose Breasted Gross Beak. So serene and silent today.

FLIPPING AWESOME! LOOK AT HIM!

Indigo Buntings are rare up here! I shot this pic today, 5/20/11

Ice Heaves on Lake Bemidji and guests...

It's Alive!

Little Flycatcher

Hole in the ice

Magnificent

See the striations from the layers built up over winter

This guy sang the coolest song!

Red-winged blackbird never stopped singing

Simply intriguing

Yep. At a park.

I like this one a lot.

And this one.

Somebody forgot their wood.

This gull was LOUD!

Just another crack in the ice

Buds starting to do something amazing.

This is my favorite. The sky mirrors the landscape, and it looks like the rush of white water, when it's actually the slow creep of ice.

Stock. ;)

Just lovely

I love close-ups!
