I'm late, I'm late! For a very important date! But I'm in anyway. I will do better next week. This is the challenge where I look at everyone's photos so I can see how bad mine are!

But they are birds and I have a lot of them, so you will not be able to get rid of me :)

Seagull for this week:

Thank you so much for doing this, Keith!

That's funny Sharon, I'm late too... I mean I'm up late! Thanks for being here! Upvoted & resteemed! I wish the vote was worth something - who know, maybe it will be some day :)

lol - don't we all! Better days are coming, and please do not worry at all. I am just so glad you started this. We need it here.

I think I forgot to vote and share, but I've done it now. I'm starting to see double... must be tired! :-)

Awesome post, welcome to #featheredfriday, Steve!

In a word? Phenomenal! Oh.....and one more. Sensational! LOVE your wonderful selection of bird photos @keithboone I have run out of time to submit my #featheredfriday blog but will hopefully have it completed before your Friday finishes. ( U & R )

Thanks so much, Trudee! Me and the rest of the bird brains here at Feathered Friday Global Headquarters are not particularly fussy about days of the week and time zones and such. I wanted to call this tag "FeatheredFriday-ish" but the name was getting too long! I'm happy to see your work any time, anywhere!

Thank you my friend. I'm inclined to let the days get away on me when challenges are concerned thinking I have more time, with your Fridays starting later than ours.

fantastic shots, I will look through my archives and see if I have any shots I can share for this tag

That would be awesome, I', looking forward to it!

Wont be as fancy or as exotic as some of the entries I have seen but lets see what I can find ;)

Got your post and resteemed it, thank you! Seagull count too! :-)

Thanks mate and thats a relief, and I remembered after posting I have some shots of birds from a few years back so I will be able to join at least one more time ;)

Fantastic photos, Keith. Can’t wait to see the Robins again. U&R.
My link is about a special robin.

Thank you, Melinda. Too much time on my hands! Thank you for posting in my challenge, I am heading off to view your post right away!

I love how successful it is becoming!

Me too, and I love how much you are helping. Thank you!!!

My pleasure! It is a great tag and easy to remember. It will do well!

Oh, your supply of fabulous shots never seems to dwindle!

Yes, i am waiting for that first robin! Doesnt that owl have a sad face.

Swans always look so romantic 💖💕

Upped and steemed

Ah, thank you so much, Denise! You say the nicest things! I do think the owl looks kind of sad. Barn owls are supposed to be so common but I think that is one of only two shots I've ever taken. For some reason, all I ever see is barred owls. Yes, the swans... I waited twenty minutes to catch them making something like a heart shape. So happy you liked my photos! :-)

What a amazing collection of birds i love them all but especially the Bald Eagle that is my favorite bird i will see what i have in my archive i know i have photograph a few birds in my travels :)

Thanks a lot, yes that would be great if you have something to post!

My pleasure you are most welcome i am looking into my archive now...Cheers :)

Isn't that an amazing bird> I love those colours and the long tail feathers!

Hello keithboone, love your photos and I love bird photos, but do not have any that are remarkable enough to join into #featheredfriday at the moment. But, I will give it a go ........ well try to.

Thanks so much! Everyone is most welcome to join in. If you search the hashtag you will find photos at various skill levels and taken with everything from cell phones to DSLRs so don't be shy :-)

OMG your Robin, Owl and those Swans!!
These are the best bird photographs I've ever seen!
And Mr Hooded Merganser!! Yeow @keithboone!! :-)

Thank you very much, @shasta, I'm glad you like the photos!

Howdy sir Keith! wow these are some more wonderful photos and it's a great tag!

Thank you, my friend. How's your day going?

howdy sir Keith! my day could be better but that's the way it goes. We discovered we had a leak in our water pipe somewhere between the street and the house so we had to shut the water off. Plumber is coming tomorrow morning. I spent some of today out in the trees clearing a path because they'll have to bring in their ditch digger and dig a trench for the new line.

The old one is 40 years old so we'll be putting in the superior PEX plastic line or pipe. no freezing or bursting, no cracking if a tree trunk grows against it and pushes it, etc. Luckily we have a pool so we can bucket water to the toilets to flush them. lol. why what's going on there? Still cloudy and rainy?

Wow, that sounds a bit expensive, sorry to hear! Nothing much going on here. We had some rain, some wind, a little sun... temp hit 45 degrees F today. Maybe some sunshine tomorrow and we'll try to go out and find some birds to photograph.

I bet you don't have to go far to find the birds! By "we" do you mean you and the Missus?
I'm taking a wild guess that the new water line will cost $1,500 so we'll see how far off I am.

Yes, Cathy usually comes with me. She loves to get outside and see some nature and take photos. $1,500 is bad enough, I hope your estimate is high and you get a better price!

sir Keith! Does Cathy post her photos on facebook or someplace? Is she a social media person? Yeah I hope my estimate is high also. Think how much steem that could buy! But then I don't know if that's a good investment. lol.

Oh boy, oh boy! This looks like a digital-art bird post! Can't wait, I'm heading to your post right now!
