Feathered Friends SMAP Contest- SONGBIRDS

avatar

For this week's Show Me A Photo contest in the Feathered Friends Community @nelinoeva has chosen SONGBIRDS as the theme. You can find the contest- HERE

Here are a couple photos of common songbirds that I frequently see in the trees around my house.

American robin is more often seen in the grass, looking for worms and insects, but if I am quick enough I can catch them in the trees.
It is a migratory songbird of the thrush family.

American goldfinch I have taken my bird feeders down because of an outbreak of bird flu and I am missing seeing and hearing these little guys outside my window. The strain is called EA H5N1, which is a highly pathogenic avian influenza and even though it is mainly affecting waterfowl, we have been asked to remove feeders and birdbaths until the end of May to stop birds from congregating and help prevent it from spreading. Social distancing is healthy for birds, too!

Nice songbirds melinda. Robins and goldfinch are here in force right now. Robins working hard on the yards and goldfinch in groups along road and in trees. As if covid wasn't enough... now avian flu. Bird feeders were a big part of my entertainment during covid.

I only took mine down yesterday and you can imagine how much I am missing them. Especially right now when the summer birds will be returning any day.

Lovely shots Melinda!
That bird flu is rather serious thing. For now, I don't know about Europe, there are no reports about.
