Wild Bird Wednesday

It's been a bit since I've participated,
due to a recent trip to Anaheim, CA I have lots of wonderful birds to share!


These 2 Double Crested Cormorants got lots of attention from me. They were in Disneyland Park in the area where the Pirate Ship is. Since I don't do many rides and my traveling companions did I spent lots of time watching these amazing birds!

We discovered a lovely little park, Yorba Regional Park, lots of lakes and lots of birds!
Black Phoebe


My first Western Bluebird!

Egyption Goose, I saw 3

Beautiful Tree Swallow

 There were many Tree Swallow all over this park but this pair appears to have been nesting or close to it. Would have loved to see babies popping their little heads out!

Below are some of my sightings at
 Oak Canyon Nature Center.

A lovely pair of Wood Duck in a tree, my first!

Male Anna's Hummingbird

Female Anna's Hummingbird
I have more to share but I'll wait for next time!!

  5. Now this is what I'd being doing at Disney land as well. Most of that stuff bores me.....but not your birds:) Wonderful shots.....I love the pic of the Tree Swallow feeding the babies.

  8. Great birds - I would also be paying far more attention to the birds than the rides at Disneyland!

  9. A lovely set of photos Kristi. Disney doesn't do anything for me either, just the grandkids.
