Backyard Birds

I never really, REALLY looked at birds until I started bird-watching. Then I realised we never actually appreciate how gorgeous birds right in our backyard are.

We stayed outside Boston city with 2 ponds and many gardens surrounding us. These are pics of some common but pretty birds in our backyard:

Mum nicknames me "chickadee-dee-dee" because like me, it's small and adorable!

European Starling

Male Mallard

Male American Black Duck

Great Blue Heron (he lives at the pond. He's always there!)

A pair of Northern Flickers

American Robin (the commonest bird around)
