What's outside of your picture window today?

Hi @ess77 there are so many beautiful birds for us to experience outside our window. Living in Florida allows us to see even more of them in the warmer climate. I too could not snap a picture of a blue heron I saw less than 5 feet behind me while I was trimming bushes. I was surprised it flew so quietly and close to me without being afraid of humans.
Just last week I had an egret in my backyard but I was not quick enough to take a picture of it. They indeed are very big and graceful birds. I hear their distinctive call sound everyday. I believe a neighbor across the street feeds all kinds of birds. I have set up a bird bath and hummingbird feeder in the front yard. I have also planted sunflowers for our feathered friends to feed on. Maybe now I will see more of them through my window.

It is a joy, isn't it, to have so many lovely, beautiful birds of all kinds. You know, I was amazed at the huge size of this bird on my pool house roof. He was huge!
Congratulations, for the birdbath and hummingbird feeder. Do you plan to add a seed feeder for other birds? They can be messy, but you can get a natural, less messy seed that does help. You will enjoy the hummingbirds for sure. I don't have many....just a couple and I need to replace the sugar water more often and keep it fresh. Also, plan to plant some hummingbird flowers as soon as I feel better. that will help, I think, and once they find me, i'll have some hummers visiting.
I've had a few interesting feeders, tho....red body with blue and red wings that fly so fast, just like a hummingbird but really small and reminds me of an insect. I'm looking it up now to see..
Have fun and bless you for sharing your love of our water birds. be well, elizabeth
