Me, Cindy- the other Old Birder- just returned from a trip to Blairsville, Ga. with my husband- not the other Old Birder ( these things happen) but I did get some birding in!We stopped for a family visit in Tallahssee, Fl. and I spotted 2 new birds (for Fl.) the tuffted tit mouse and the Carolina chickadee. A new bird for Ga. was the Carolina wren and it was so nice to see the humming birds back- they are amazing. The highlight of the trip was the young bald eagle perching up on a snag at the side of Lake Nottley, he was so big even the 3 non birders in the boat were mesermized! Also got some fun fireworks pics altogether a great trip!!

Tuffted Tit Mouse seen in Tallhassee! Almost to Ga.

Carolina Chickadee also in Talassee feels like Ga.

Rest stop in Macon- must have bee 104 degrees, but the flowers were beautiful

Ruby throated hummingbird there for a long drink

Picture using tripod and sports setting-

From the front porch- actually holding the camera not too bad!

Just love these- Love me /Love me not!

Nottley Dam was just beautiful looks so much larger looking up- than driving over it!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY U.S.A.!!!!!

Carolina wren- hopped all over the porch every am was very camera shy!
