BOTD: Peacocks

Granny Shot It has a daily photo challenge, Bird of the Day (BOTD). I am contributing with photos of a very bold peacock and his companions at the Brookfield Zoo. This guy kept walking toward me as I was snapping his photo with my cellphone! He appeared to have no fear of humans whatsoever – […]

BOTD: Canada Geese (Impromptu)

For Granny Shot It’s Bird of the Day today, I just had to post this photo I snapped with my cell phone from our car, (which is why it isn’t a great photo!) when we were temporarily prevented from finding a parking space at a restaurant this evening by this pair of Canada geese. They […]

BOTD: Heron in Tree

I spotted this heron near the bank of the Main River in Germany, but as our cruise ship approached, it flew into a tree. Posted for Granny Shot It’s Bird of the Day photo challenge.

BOTD: Duck Family

I posted a couple of days ago a family of swans out for a stroll in our new community. Here is a duck family that shares the same pond, heading back to it after a walk. (The ducks are all adults now, but since there are so many of them together all the time, I […]

BOTD: Swan Family Out for a Stroll

My husband and I have just recently moved to a senior living community, and I have been enjoying taking walks around the campus in the evenings. A few days ago I saw the resident swan family out for a stroll. Swans mate for life and raise their cygnets together. This year all of the cygnets […]

This seagull perched outside our window on our cruise to Alaska. Soon he was joined by a friend. Posted for Granny Shot It’s Bird of the Day.
