This challenge was a lot of fun, and took me all week. There were bubbles discussed and I went so far as to purchase some bubble stuff, but we were just too busy to play with them.

However, the birds were busy in the air all week and I did capture a couple of them.

For more Sunday Stills....

I truly cannot get over your gift of bobolinks! I have to go to the center of the state to get a glimpse. And you've got that music tinkling all around you.

Birds are always great and I think we need a bubble challenge - I want to try that too!
ReplyDeleteI wish we had bobolinks here! To see and hear them would be really neat!

Great action shots, love the blackbird and I've never heard of Bobolinks..:-)
ReplyDeleteCathy, I have never, ever seen so many. I actually hope some of them move on as we have to cut hay in that field and we don't want to disturb any nests. There were so many it was like being at a techno music concert. Delightful.
ReplyDeleteMYWaggin, that would be a good one.
Linda, they are stumpers for me in the fall, when the males molt and are as plain as the females. We get great flocks of them sometimes if we have grain crops.
Ed, thanks, I had never seen them til I moved down here...and I only lived one county to the north.
