American Robin

These American Robin photos were taken in the Village Green park in Cashiers, North Carolina when we visited July 4th.

Red-Winged Blackbird

These were taken at Perry's Water GardenI know I went for photos of the lilies, but I love the birds too.

I am not sure if the bottom 3 are the female or young one. I am thinking the female, because I do not see the red wing as should show on the immature male.

Barn Swallows

Unlike the Hummingbirds, these Barn Swallows also at Perry's Water Gardens did not care about me at all. They just stared back at me (2nd & 4th photo). I think they knew there was too much pond between them and me. I wasn't going to wade through that, but they might would have still stayed right where they were. I never did see them fly.

Hummingbird at Perry's Water Gardens

This hummingbird appears to be playing hide and seek with me. Did blend in with the small tree. She would not go to the flowers to eat while I was around, which I found to be out of character. The ones around here do not care whether people are around or not. The photo would have been so much better on these flowers.
