flocks of birds

Seeing a flock of birds always raises my spirits. Apparently seeing birds, or flocks of birds, is also considered to be quite auspicious. So here are some photos I have taken over the past few months (and years). Good luck for everyone!

the birds

I don't consider myself a birder (no matter how much the recent film The Big Year might inspire me to try), but I can't help but notice all the wonderful birds that surround me in southern Florida.

At the beach we are surrounded by gulls, sandpipers, herons and lots and lots of pelicans.

It's turkey vulture migration season, too.

It's hard not to just stop and stare at the sky.
