Eastern Kingbirds are fun to see and hear. They love to perch. Their song and calls are unique and watching them grab insects out of the air is a delight. Yesterday morning here at camp, this one sat patiently waiting for the hatch to start on the lake.
These birds, who arrived in May, will leave for South America in September. So, we’ve got a couple of months to enjoy them.
Here is our morning view from the deck.
After a long trip, we’ve setted into our apartment and with nice views and weather, are seeing a nice mix of birds from our terrace.
We have an artist friend here from past visits and this montage of his captures much of the flavor of Salobreña.
One of my favorites is the eurasian kestrel which we see daily. I’ve yet to get a good photo but did capture this one yesterday at long distance.
Last night, one of the large field below us was irrigated and this morning a few Mallards arrived. Then a group of Cattle Egret showed up for desayuno.
As I watched them, this large group of dark birds appeared.
Glossy Ibises, probably on their way to Africa, were foraging all day.
Our landlord left instructions to close windows when we left the apartmento because when the folks are away, guess who comes in and plays?
