This is scruffy and ugly... but it is a bird on a wire... with dinner.

I have a Kestrel pair who hunt and nest in my neighborhood during the winter. They seem to like my back yard/alley area.

Bird on a (barbed) wire...

OK Guys, I am waiting to see the infamous always-see-them-on-a-wire (until my camera is in focus) kingfisher shots!  Anyone?? I know there are lots of Floridians here..step up!

How about bird on a branch - here's your kingfisher!

It`s not a Kingfisher, but I`ve got an Eastern Kingbird on a wire.

The doves and mockingbirds love to sit on the wires around our yard. Here's a dove taken today both on a wire and a closeup on the ground.

 

 

Nice Shots GvilleRick...

Mine here is the humble Mockingbird... on a wire.

ewwwww, Seattle, I am so jealous, very nice pic. They always see me coming. I'm gonna get one someday though! (And isn't it funny, very RARELY see them in trees here)

These are all great shots!  I have a Kingfisher on a wire picture but it's on my home computer!  Drat!  I have some other pics that would fit this theme too but I'll have to wait until I get home to add them.

Enjoying this thread

Lyceel, do you recall if this Shrike had prey skewered along the barbs on this fence wire? Lots of barbed wire fencing out here and it seems like every time I find a Shrike on barbed wire, it has 'snacks' stuck on the nearby barbs. Creative use of a man-made material by a wild bird.

No, I didn't notice any.  I didn't know about that behavior at the time, so I didn't actually look for it, either.  I might have just missed it.  There were quite a few shrikes out there that day, too.
