Cute Little Striped Birds Taking Over My Neighborhood

Hi Kathy,

They are so cute and really let me get quite close so they must be a little domesticated. I just think they are so sweet and I love their markings.

Hi David,

I have to say with all the Red Hawks and Owls hanging around here, any bird that can survive must have some smarts. I see the hawks grabbing pigeons all the time. 4 or 5 will be sitting on the lightposts with their heads down and the hawks just fly in and grab one. I guesss they think if they can't see it coming, it won't happen.

Hi Mark,

You are so right and I would be sad to see them picked off. At my old house, I had Morning Doves that mate for life and hang out in pairs all the time and have 4-6 nests of birds annually so once a hawk swooped down and grabbed a dove off my fence. The birds in the neighborhood are always singing and chirping. At first I heard a lot of screaming (never had heard birds scream before) and then all was quiet. They must have hid in the trees for 1.5 days as it was so quiet outside that it was eerie. I sure hope these little birds survive.

Hi Tony and Darcy,

I just adore these cute little birds and hoping to see baby birds next month. Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Donna,

I just hear them once in a while and they are in the front plus our bedroom is at the back so it doesn't bother me. Perhaps it is spring and mating season too.

Hi Debbie,

Aren't they just the cutest little birds with their stripes and skinny legs. I really like fishing and am glad to hear you do it too. My dream is to fish for salmon in Alaska.

Hi Sarah and Lester,

I am always glad to hear from you both. Have a great Sunday.

Hi Debbie,

I just adore taking pictures of birds and these killdeer birds are so sweet.

Hi Jennifer,

Thanks for stopping and the pretty colored geraniums are lovely and seemed to attract the birds.
