Photo of a fun and colorful toucan balloon here in my other blog.

Last summer when I went to take photos of sunflowers, I chanced upon a flock of birds walking. I slowly and quietly walked to where they were and followed them, taking several photos. These winged creatures didn’t seem to notice me.

Walking Birds

Until one sort of turned around and saw me. I froze.

Bird on Grass

They changed course and I managed to take several photos until another one looked at me again before they vanished among the grasses that hid them completely.

Of course it was fun while it lasted. I just wish I knew the names of the birds.

Have fun doing PH!

Those appear to be Mourning Doves or Wood Doves. If they sound like this: http://www.birdjam.com/birdsong.php?id=7

they are one of the species of dove, possibly the Emerald-spotted Wood Dove.

My photos are up….
