This talkative feathered dude had a lot to say on Saturday when we were walking along this road at Topsmead.
He was still talking and taking to the air and talking and taking to the air on Tuesday. He found a girl and then he played hard to get--and seemed to lose the game. He'll learn!
A handsome dude indeed. I especially liked the country road pic. Took me back to my childhood on the Prairies, driving out to the golf course with my dad. Lovely Sandy!!!
Lovely capture Sandy, bird song is so good to listen to. Love the road picture too, I always wonder whats round the corner at the end. Have a good weekend
Birds do sometimes have a lot to say. Yesterday they started in my yard at 4:30 AM and I did not appreciate it. I still encourage them, though with food and nest boxes.
A beautiful road perfectly photographed. I like very much the V and Λ forms you created on this shot. I suppose and hope this little bird had a beautiful voice :-)
That's a wonderful shot you captured of the bird, and what a beautiful walking path. Lovely SkyWatch Friday photos... and thanks for stopping by my blog too! :)
He's a 'pretty bird.' Are you so sure he wanted to lose? You sure did find a nice quite place for walking. I like place like these. Happy Sky Watching, ..
Hi Sandy ~ Long time no see but my spring break is officially over and I am happy to be back in the blogosphere. I love your photgraphy and your words which give even more insight. The picture of the dirt road is perfect - my eye is drawn right to the center and I keep looking to see what lies ahead. Take care.
Excellent pictures, Sandy! I so much like the first one with the bird. *** About Sky Watch, I can't get out any more from skyley.blogspot.com and have to swith off Internet Explorer! More, Mr. Linky doesn't work at all, I have to register again but I cannot!!
Many thanks for your information about Sky Watch, Sandy. I've gone to skyley in the afternoon and it's all right now! However, I'll try with pleasure Google Chrome (I must download it) which, as you say, must be really very good.

What a handsome dude. Sometimes, a gal wants the strong, silent type! Lovely perspective on the second shot!
'Hard to get' never worked on me either LOL. What a wonderful shot of that fellow! And I would love to walk down that lane, on such a day.
I adore birds...even greckles get my sympathy for all everyone has to say about them!~hugs
Sandi
What a lovely country road.
fun post and story about the bird's possible courting-everything has a story.

Wonderful! The photos look like paintings!
Abd that's life!
pretty bird
I think one of his relatives must be hanging out in the tree outside my office building. Loud?? Nah... not much.
But isn't it amazing how your big talker got tongue tied by a lady?
If you ever figure out a way to keep that from happening, would you clue me in? 'Cause the same thing happens to me all.the.time!
Wonder what he was saying : )
Wonderful shots Sandy. I can hear the bird talking by looking at your photograph. Neat when that happens.
Great shots, I especially like the last one.
Have a great week

A pretty bird, but I rally enjoyed the depth of the second picture.
That appears to be a lovely walk!
like your path/walkway...lovely and of course what is there not to love about the beautiful bird.

Love the story about the singing bird. Great shots. :-)
beautiful photo's!!

Gotta love a bird that wants to stop to chat long enough for you to take a photo instead of flying away!
I love birds. Nice photos. =)
I absolutely love the pathway! Great shots!
Lovely capture Sandy, bird song is so good to listen to.
Love the road picture too, I always wonder whats round the corner at the end.
Have a good weekend
Wouldn't I love to be walking there! Don't you just love the sound of a bobolink?
Hi Sandy
The first take is lovely!
The second a great landscape of beautiful way!
Wonderful sky also!

Sometimes all a guy can do is keep chirping for another day! ;)
beautiful shot. I love the second one a lot.
Sandy, I still get locked out by the skywatch main page mr linky.

Beautiful picture from the bird !
But the road have a great depth ! ! !
Gr.
P-TER
I need to get to that road as soon as possible - it looks long enough for me to loose a pound or two walking on it. Thank you for that view!
Fantastic shot of the bird! I love him! And that road looks like such a gorgeous, peaceful place to walk!
Have a great weekend, Sandy!
What a cad ! lol

Handsome dude! If I were a lady bird I know I'd be listening to his sweet talk.
Love both pictures,but especially the second.
And he is a handsome dude!
The little bird knew is way a sky watch kind of day... That's why he posed for you:)
two very cool pics My Dear Friend!
This post put a smile on my face. Lesson learned: never play hard to get. Kidding aside, I love the second shot, beautiful angle.
He's a 'pretty bird.' Are you so sure he wanted to lose?
You sure did find a nice quite place for walking. I like place like these.
Happy Sky Watching,

Great bird shot...and that second shot is beautiful...love the parallel perspective...
Someone needs to explain to him about the birds and the bees...
Typical male, isn't he? He is a handsome guy though.
Sandy: Neat SWF captures bith the bird and the lane.

What a perfect, clear photograph of the bird. Plus the road makes me itch to walk, run, ride, drive down it to see what is at the end.
Great photos, love the bird up in the tree. Do you know what that is? Your tree lined dirt road is also something to behold. He's very handsome.
Excellent pictures, Sandy! I so much like the first one with the bird.

Kind of nice to have talkative company along that road to the sky. Great captures.
Nice catch of the bird! But I prefer the road less traveled with sky above!
so beautiful!
Both the snaps are extremely beautiful. The dude is alone.

nice shot of a road. id like to take a rest along that shade one hot afternoon.

It mus be a lovely walk with the bird singing to you. :)
Wow, I love the bird photo, so gorgeous. But, the road image is so summer! I could take off with my rucksack to walk and walk....
Happy Friday!!

Stunning! I love the first photo, looks like a Bobolink.
Both are BEAUTIFUL photos ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
Wonderful post Sandy. Something about a road in a beautiful scene that draws most hearts down it's path, including mine.
birding is a recent hobby and Im quite passionate abt it..lovely pics ..and yes, he will learn
Don't Bobolinks have the most unusual song?? I just love to hear them in full voice. Happy Skywatch Friday. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Beautiful shot of the countryside. I like the shot of the country roads. Very nice.
