My job recently took me to a country home in
Deltaville located in the far eastern side of Virginia. Next to the home was a large pile of branches and brush. It was filled with dozens of birds representing several species, including those photographed below:

This Northern Mockingbird was skulking around in the brush pile, but posed on top just long enough for me to take a series of photos. Autumn is giving me great natural backdrops. |
Brush piles, especially in winter, are fantastic for your backyard birds. The brush pile provides shelter from the weather as well as cover from predators. Sprinkle a little wild bird seed in and around it and enjoy the variety of winter birds that visit your nice and accommodating habitat.
Amazing birds, they are full of "fun".
ReplyDeleteSuper captures!!
ReplyDeleteWow superb, the second picture is fantastic... Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love finding brush piles with birds hiding out. Something always seems to be lurking around one. Beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos! The Mockingbird is very beautiful!
ReplyDeletecute guys, that NOMO really posed for you! We set up feeders , a water feature, and a brush pile this past field season and it attracted birds within hours. So fun!
ReplyDeleteIt's all about "looking in all the right places", isn't it. I like the photos!
ReplyDeleteLovely birds and the autumn color makes a beautiful background.
ReplyDeleteLovely shots. Very nice detail!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots Robert! That Mockingbird against that great autumn backdrop made for a really nice bokeh.
ReplyDeleteI leave brush piles all over my property. They are about the easiest thing you can do to attract birds!
