The red breast of an American Robin.
Eye-popping red tulips in a neighbour's garden.
A well-stuffed nest in the "A" of a red Shoppers Drug Mart sign.
No shortage of red barns around here.
A Red-winged Blackbird near Fanshawe College.
And finally, this evening I could hear the call of a Northern Cardinal somewhere coming through our front door. I picked up my camera and quietly sneaked down the walkway until I could pinpoint where the sound was coming from. I looked up and ......there was my final flash of red.

I love your blog's birds. the red barn with the clear blue sky and green green grass is really beautiful. I am not positive but I think that for one or two days in N. Friburgo I see red breasted robins - whether american I don't know - but am always made to feel 'happy' when I see one.
ReplyDeleteIs that a nest on the billboard? I love that red bird.
ReplyDeleteGreat captures! You did well with the subject matter.
ReplyDeleteLove the birds - how clever! I tried to get a robin, but they were all so darn fast. :)
ReplyDeleteTulips are so pretty and elegant.
Nice capture of that nest in the drug store sign, and the robin's shot.
ReplyDeleteI love barns and these red ones are beautiful. I bird watch with the GRAND~girls and our favorites are the red birds.
ReplyDeleteG'day there ...so nice to meet you.
ReplyDeleteI loved the nest!
And I have a fascination for american red barns.
Love the Cardinal especially!
ReplyDeleteI love birds and barns, getting ready to go to Texas and shoot some photos, and hoping to get some roosters, and lots of barns!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming over!
I am totally blown away with your photos. Just love the ones of the birds, never would have thought about finding RED in that department. Cardinals, robins, red winged black birds, what a bird watchers paradise!! Very very nice. I enjoyed looking at each and every one of your pictures very much. I will definitely be back next week to see what you can do with water. Debby
ReplyDeleteThe nest is a great shot, as are the red winged blackbird - used to see so many as a child and now hardly ever do! And the cardinal as well!
ReplyDeletewow! birds are hard to get good shots of I think. you have done a fantastic job of it! fabulous shots of red in your neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteLove your take on Painting the Town Red! We share the same birds, we have two Robins nesting at my home, just yesterday I was watching mama Robin feed her little ones...such a simple delight.
ReplyDeleteThe over head Cardinal shot shouts out "Winter is Over!"
