Birds Of Colors

Bird watching is one of my favorite past time simply because I want to capture the best shot. I want to shoot the noisy but colorful woodpecker at the woods near our backyard. I spotted the woodpecker 3x already in the past and the last time the tree the bird was pecking its bill was surrounded by shrubs, bushes and alder trees. I couldn't believe that woodpeckers are very sensitive that their sense of hearing is very sharp. They are fast to fly away from the site of  compromise. Me with my handheld digital camera and that special bird with bright colors tapping the old, dried, balding trunk with lesser branches and lesser maple leaves. I know one day I will have the best of both worlds when and where have the best location to shoot one at least one woodpecker.

Waiting, waiting from the window...

Suddenly to my surprise a big sized black bird flew and landed on the tree where the woodpecker once stood.  I aimed my camera and zoom lens on, aim and ready click and then the bird moved. The black bird was pecking his thick bill on his feathers. Result of the photo image was blurred of course.
Aim it again one more time and gotcha!

 My husband said it's a Raven. It's bigger than a crow so it's definitely a raven. It's really a big black bird and the bird stayed up on that branch for as long as it wants.

I wish could snap some more photos but I would really like to see a colorful bird not just black bird. The background is astonishing though.

For a change: We watched the latest movie of the world's most popular action hero/moviestar JACKIE CHAN. OMG! I can't laugh at this movie. Jackie Chan known for being a comedian action star is now a dramatic/action star! The movie THE FOREIGNER is non-stop action, explosive movie that will keep you seated for hours until you finish its ending. Jackie Chan has flare for serious, more dramatic story in this chosen film that will lift your spirits up. Who the real enemies in this movie? Find it out for yourself. This movie is recommended for those who love the ACTION. $1/movie is so good not to be missed. Tomorrow the movie video will resume to $6.
