Birds

The other day I went to the Bronx Zoo with my grandson. We went to the World of Birds exhibit and saw the bird of paradise. Not only did we see the bird, but it also sang to us. It was just beautiful.

If you look closely at the pictures, you can see the black birds in the tree. I only noticed them because they were telling each other that I was walking. They had a very harsh sound. This sound was not like that of crows but the Raven.

This is the third time I have noticed Ravens in Stamford. The first two times they were fighting with crows. This time they were just hanging out in the tree.

Further down the walk I heard a high pitch sound above me. Looking up, I saw two raptors circling looking for prey. Their wingspan was different from the usual red-tailed hawks. I will have to consult with an expert to find out what type of raptor they are.

The birds are always among us. Usually hidden in plain sight. It was so nice when their singing gave me the opportunity to listen and see them.
