30 Nov November Photos | Nov 2024

Let’s use this post to show November photos of our friends.

American Coot

The above photo shows an American Coot enjoying the warm California sun at a local park.

And it’s also looking at me, probably wondering what I’m doing.

Snowy Egret

This Snowy Egret was busy hunting for food. Of course, that’s their job.

Sometimes it “dances” in the water to stir fish into moving closer to the surface where it can catch them.

Allen’s Hummingbird, Male

Meet the Allen’s Hummingbird.

He’s a territorial thug who weighs only 4 grams. (He chases everybody else away from our yard.)

Somebody forgot to tell this bird how small he is.

Lesser Goldfinch, Male

This Lesser Goldfinch came for the food that we put on our bird feeders.

This shows that if you feed them, they will come.

Orange-crowned Warbler

Birds work every day, even when there are clouds.

Nature photographers, however, may stay in on cloudy days.

But even though it was cloudy, I went out with my camera.

This shows any day is a good day for photos.

Gulf Fritillary Caterpillar

This Gulf Fritillary Caterpillar wears a nasty defense outfit.

So other critters leave it alone.

Normally, they stretch out. But for a moment this one bent itself into an odd shape.

Gulf Fritillary

When fully mature, the Gulf Fritillary Caterpillar will hang upside down and become a chrysalis.

Then after about two weeks a butterfly emerges.

Next it waits for its wings to dry. And then it flies away, off to find flowers.

The critters in these November photos remind us to enjoy the beauty we find in Nature.

And they wish us the best for the holidays.

Much success,

Steve Kaye

The most effective way to help birds is to buy land.

Here are three organizations that excel at doing this.
