2010 Fall tree pictures

Here are some pictures of the trees turning different colors this year. They are pretty much all stripped of leaves now.

Another Oak (I think)

New Lamb!

Our ewe, Cathy, lambed about 2 weeks ago to a cute and colorful rambling.

A few days old -

Donkeys!

 . . . It's another weird thing we've brought to our ranch. They are 2 females. One is a miniature donkey, and the other regular size.

Bird 13: Cattle Egret

I snapped these pictures before it saw/heard me, and flew away (as pics show). From what I could tell, it looks like a Cattle Egret.

These pics aren't that great, but anyway . . .

Bird 12: Summer Tanager

A pretty bird. Males are bright red and females are a yellowish color. For pictures of a female, google "female summer tanager".

Bird 11: Brown-headed Cowbird

I'm sorry, I took these pictures I think in the later spring of this year. It seems like it was just spring, and it's already fall. Can you believe that? Time just flies by.

      The Brown-headed Cowbird, Summer Tanager (see next post), and the Cattle Egret I think I saw and took pictures of around the same time. For info on the Brown-headed Cowbird, go here - http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Brown-headed_Cowbird/id.

Wonder why they are called "Cowbirds"?
