Some birding outings

Birding in Putnam brought a lot of rewards.  Lots of ducks.  We enjoyed several ducks that we have not seen this year yet until that trip.  The scenery was gorgeous as well.  At one point, a Bald Eagle soared over the river in a slow elegant and majestic display.
There were quite a few song birds in these brushes and reeds beyond.  From our vantage point, we could watch the river loaded with ducks.  We did not want to get too close to scare off the birds.  These pictures are taken with a smartphone but our binoculars gave us some great looks.  
Camping and birding in Alabama.  We rode bikes down bike trails during that camping trip.  We observed 67 different bird species on that trip.  We were hoping to see close to a 100.  Still, it was a very pleasant and enjoyable time.

Connie and Duane joined us on that trip.  This new RV belongs to them.  Nice.
Connie and Don.  Don came to visit for the day when we went camping in Alabama.
Back in Georgia, we went on several other birding outings including one with the Audubon group.
This was pretty much our group that day.  We were 12 people and you have 8 in the picture.  Kelly joined us that day which was nice.  She is in the far left with me next to her.
Bye for now!
