You just need,

to be alone,

silent,

and still.

If you do this,

you will find,
that birds are avid people watchers!
Cheers to you from the always observant birdies~
Note: Featured birds are a Stellar Jay and American Robin.

I have missed you, Cindy! I need to check to see if I’ve missed email notifications from you on new blog posts. What beautiful birdies! Your photos give them such personalities 😍
Hi Teresa! I missed you too. I took a short break. There is nothing wrong with your email notifications. So happy to hear from you & happy you like the birdies my friend. Cheers! დ
A break is always good! xx
Smiling დდ
I, too, was thinking somehow WordPress dropped me from your blog. Very glad to see you and your exquisite photographs back❣️
Ahhh….. You make me happy to be back. Thank you & hope all is well with you დ
Those pictures are so beautiful, Cindy! My favourite is the robin although the bluebird is stunning! 😊
Hi Lynette. Thanks much my friend. I rarely see Robins, so it was a thrill for me too! დ
“Stellar, Batman!” Said Robin.
Laughing…. დ
We have a lot of both birds in our area, but your photos are my first close-up look at them. Amazing!
So happy you enjoyed seeing them up close and personal Debra & thanks very much my friend დ
Very cute pictures of those birds !
I also have blackbirds on my balcony. The blackbirds come to sing very early in the morning and also … eat all my raspberries.
How wonderful that they sing to you each morning. Eating all your raspberries? Not so much. Can you net the bushes? დ
Beautiful photos! The idea that birds are people-watchers appeals to me.
Thank you Liz. I think they are more dedicated people watchers than actual people!! 🙂
You’re welcome, Cindy!
დდ
So beautiful!
So appreciated Felicia. Thank you & cheers დ
Beautiful, Cindy. They truly are!
Happy you like our feathered friends Terri & cheers to you my friend დ
Great to learn about the Mendocino Robin!
So pleased you enjoyed & thank you Maria დ
So beautiful.
Merci beaucoup mon Ami Gigi დ

Beautiful birds and amazing photos, Cindy!!
Thanks so much Suzette. So appreciated. Cheers to you დ
As always, your photos are stunning, Cindy! Wouldn’t it be great to know what they think of us humans 🙂
Thanks very much Rosaliene. It would either be a treat, or rather horrifying…. They have a lot to be upset with us about. We might have to actively listen for a very long time! 😉 დ
Indeed!
Beautiful shots of these iconic birds, Cindy!
Thank you Eliza. I was just admiring your peonies. Lovely დ
💕
Such gorgeous images Cindy, of two of my favorite colorful birds from your part of the world – stunning shots my friend !
Cheers to you Ashley & thank you very much! დ
I love your bird photos. We don’t have the Steller’s Jay in our area. Stunning!
Thank you Wendy. We don’t have them here either, so it is always a thrill when I see them დ
Beautiful captures and words. ❤️🩷
Grazie mille Karen დ
You always capture the most stunning details of birds. These are beautiful.
Aww…. Thank you sincerely Bridgette. So appreciated. Cheers & take good care დ
I saw a Stellar Jay for the first time when we visited Yosemite a couple of years ago. They are beautiful birds.
It is quite a thrill to see a beauty like this for the first time. I am glad you experienced this დ
Two of my favourite birds, mostly because I can see them here! Maggie
I am so glad you see & like them! დ
Beautiful bird photos, Cindy! I was wondering what happened to you. 😊
Thank you John. I just hanging with the birdies….. 😂
Wonderful photos! Your online buddies miss you! 😊😊😊
Ahhhh….. So appreciated John. Bless you.
😊😊😊
Beautiful photos of such sweet creatures… you have captured their personalities
Thank you Annette. You make me happy I posted დ
You have more patience than me! 😂
Smiling….. Depends on the situation! 😂
What beautiful pictures Cindy. I love birds and you’ve really done them justice here. Hugs
Thanks much David & I am happy you love birds my friend დ
Beautiful birds. I’ve seen the bluebirds like this one. Is it an exotic bird?
Stellar Jays are not endangered or exotic, but they don’t live where I live, so seeing them is always a thrill for me დ
Gorgeous! Especially the Stellar Jay photos. Such a beautiful bird.
They are gorgeous creatures aren’t they. I think it makes them a bit self conscious დ
Gorgeous!
Gazie დ
They do watch us don’t they. I even have a pair of Willie Wagtails come up on my balcony often to watch my goings on. Mind you, they must think us strange creatures 😂 And a delightful Jay Cindy, I love that blue. Thank you for sharing your people watchers kind lady 🤣❤️🙏
Thank you Mark for your kind appreciation and wonderfully feathered tale! I know birds think we are really strange creatures and I tend to agree with them! 🤣 Take good care my friend & cheers დ
Handing out at the house?
Smiling… Yes დ
Sounds and looks like heaven on earth!
It is very calming and I really appreciate this. Take good care my friend.
Stunning inages as always my favourite has to be the bluebird just awesome so pretty xx
Thank you Carol. Stellar Jays are just gorgeous birds and very curious too დ
So often I look up into the tree top I am walking under and swear the bird is watching me. Silently and attentively. I say “hello there” and smile. Love the colours on these Cindy
Good for you! You are quiet and observant. Everytime I find a bird in my lens, not matter how far away, it is already looking at me დ
Wonderful shots!
Good advice, too!
Smiling…. Thanks very much & cheers! დ
Oh I do love those blue jays. We have them too. And the robins.
Alison
I didn’t know you had Robins and Blue Jays. Birds do get around. Take good care Alison დ
Plenty of them. I see the jays fairly frequently flying around and sometimes in the garden. I see robins almost every day hiking in the nearby forest.
Oh, of course, I was thinking of Australia where you came from, not Canada where you are. Sorry. I have seen many in Canada too. Enjoy დ
The robin looks shocked about something….
Smiling….. He absolutely does! Maybe it was the human staring at him 🙂
I wonder what those birds are thinking…
I hear robins singing nearby sometimes, and Steller’s jays occasionally show up here in winter.
Maybe it is good we don’t actually know what birds are thinking! 🙂 We don’t get either Stellar Jays or Robins at The Holler so they are always a thrill for me to see დ
Beautiful birds and photos.
So appreciated. Thanks much & cheers დ
My pleasure. 😊
That is one BLUE jay! Wow.
The robin is is beautiful.
Your shots are sublime.
Thank you, Cindy! ❦
You are a sweetheart Resa. Be well my friend დ
დდ
You too!
I hope the fires aren’t neat you! დ
There are not so far. So early for them to be burning. Thank you Resa & be well.
You be well too!

I am sure you are correct Darlene & thanks much დ
Splendidi colori racchiudono questi magnifici esemplari.
