Hey folks, welcome to another Feathered Friday, hosted by yours truly, @keithboone.

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently... Steve Jobs

Very nice, I'm happy to see your post, thank you!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH KISSES

Those are great shots, Melinda! Thanks so much!

Gorgeous birds and cherry blossoms too! I'm resteeming this one!

THank you so much, Melinda! :-)

Lovely shots! That eagle on the ground is just amazing! Leaving you my contribution for this great ideia here:

Thanks for that awesome post! I have voted and resteemed it! Great bird... I hope everyone checks out your post!

Thank you! It's great to see all the people joining in, for the amount of posts I'm seeing about #featheredfriday your idea has really picked up! Great job! ;)

Yep, the feathers are really flying now! :-)

Great photos! I have a list of birds that I see around here but never get pictures of and Barn Owl is near the top. That and a pheasant I have been seeing lately. Interesting the birds that are the same - there is a pair of hooded mergansers we see on the local creek and those that are different. We have scrub jays not stellar jays.

I'm officially out of Barn Owls - I almost never see them, or pheasants now that you mention it. I may get the names wrong sometimes, I wonder if those really are mergansers? I just double checked on the hooded mergansers so I know that one is correct. Thanks a lot, Steven, glad you liked the birds!

I've got a picture of a hooded merganser for tomorrow :) My wife has a birding app called Merlin from Cornell Lab and also is in some birding groups on facebook. That's where we go for bird ID

Ok great. We'll see what yours looks like! ;-)

Cool action shot!

Gosh! Very nice set of photos!! You have got the skills to shoot birds without killing them!

Thank you! I haven't killed one yet!

I am so impressed! I feel like I need a better camera than my phone if I'm going to post anything. I've been birdwatching for about ten years and I have many pictures, but most of them are fuzzy. I will try to get some shots worthy of your site.

Thank you, I think you should post some, don't be too worried. If you put a link in the comments and put your photo here you will get lots of views.

Howdy sir Keith! dang, every single photos here is amazing. Anyone ever tell you that you should be photographer? lol. Hey do you know what that Bald Eagle was doing on the ground? Did it have some prey that it caught?

Thanks very much! I think maybe the Eagle had caught something, I'm not sure. It sure is strange seeing it on the ground - but look at those eyes... I think it's telling me to keep back!

  ·  6 years ago (edited)

yes! I was studying those eyes, amazing! Very intense. sear right through you. lol.

I just can't decide which one is best.

Thanks so much! If you can't decide, let's go with the geese! LOL!

Spectacular photos ++++++ You have a wealth of feathered treats in your portfolio @keithboone and all of them are truly inspirational. I'm not going attempt to pick a favourite from this amazing blog but I do find my gaze lingering a little longer on that magnificent bald eagle. I'm working on my #featheredfriday blog and look forward to flying in with my contribution soon-ish. 😁 (U & R )

Thank you Trudee! Can't wait to see your birds!

Great contribution, thanks for entering. Have a wonderful weekend!

Loved your photos! Awesome post - have a great weekend, Ellen! :-)

Here's my Feathered Friday post this week...a bald eagle spotted near Mount Rushmore!

Excellent photos of the Bald Eagle and I loved seeing the Bison as well. Thanks so much for entering!

Oh my God I believe I voted it early! They really need to either change that or don't put it in the feed for 15 minutes. I got a little excited seeing your Feathered Friends & Boom oh, I pounced on it.

Absolutely nobody does the feathers like you do. I love the one with the bald eagle on the ground. I am not sure I have ever seen one on the ground. Not in my lifetime, but I still have time. I really think your gaggle of geese came out well and to be honest I am a little bit jealous of your cherry trees in bloom already.

A truly spectacular shot.

Upped and steemed

Thank you very much, Denise! There are a handful of people that have me on autovote and always vote in the first few minutes. Does that cause some sort of problem? If it does, I'm not aware - or worried about it. I'm happy you liked the birds, I try to come up with a different mix each week. All my votes & resteems for the next 24 hours will probably go to feathered friday - so send me a crow or something, ok? And if not, I'll still visit your page soon :-)

  ·  6 years ago (edited)

Oh I'm not worried, but those on autovote should change the way they vote. There is an option to delay the voting for 15 minutes, which is what they should be doing or they lose 60% of their vote, which goes back into the rewards pool. I specifically did your post so that I would remember to try to get a bird tomorrow. You know it being Market Friday and how busy it gets!

That's so funny because I did my feather friday thing early and then I started thinking today was Friday!

Early is good! I put my MarketFriday up Thursday night to give people a chance to get one together in case they have forgotten. I think the same can be said for yours!

It is wildly popular! Everyone loves it! I am very happy for your success (already) on it!

Resteemed!

Thank you so much for creating this, I created my own Feathered friday post, which you can find here: https://busy.org/@jay-tesst/feathered-friday

Hi, I just check out your post and resteemed! Thank you very much!

Thank you for joining in @photowanze! Have a great weekend!

I love all your feathered friends Keith and all the people who love our feathered friends. I was led here when I saw Melinda's beautiful photograph a few days ago of the red cardinals.

I'd love to share the beauty of some of our Australian birds but don't have the camera for it. Have a friend who goes all over Australia photographing birds and she takes the most amazing photographs. Maybe I'll interview her sometime to share her work here.

I work with feathers a lot in my collages and Eco Curios and I'd like to share one of my collages with you. Mount Kosciuszko: Australia. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎

Thanks so much @allyinspirit! Very cool collage and perfectly in the spirit of Feathered Friday!

I'm so happy it works for Feathered Friday Keith. Wasn't sure, but glad I didn't listen to those thoughts. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎

Oh sure, you could write a poem, make a painting, whatever you like :-)

I use feathers A LOT in my work. Will be wonderful sharing more with you on Fridays from now on. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎

I'm looking forward to it, you will put a slightly different spin on Feathered Friday, so that's very cool :-)

What a cool name for a farm, Shadow Mountain!
Woohoo cherry blossoms already!
Here is my little Magpie :-)

Oh, I love Magpies! I have to remember, I have some magpie photos somewhere. Thanks for posting @shasta!

So regal. Love magpies and this photo @shasta. We have some living in our backyard. Magpies can distinguish friend or foe in us humans ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
