I read an essay recently, I think in The Times, about why the author thought that hearing was much more important than vision. He or she noted that we can close our eyes but not our ears. The images here are gorgeous but the sound of the birds can surround us with rapture.
Beautiful birds. I love that second shot in particular.
Interesting to read Bob's comment. I had a blind friend who always said he was so grateful he could hear - that he's much prefer to be blind than deaf.

Oh wow, the two last shots really are like a poem!
I've often thought of seriously taking up bird watching...but haven't. Good shots.
Love this gathering of shots . . .

Don't you love the sound of birds chirping in the early hours of the day?

These are so lovely, just the silhouette is enough. And I love cedar waxwings(?).
Beautiful post, Brattcat!
The humming bird silhouette is glorious!
God bless you!
