Rain Frances Creations ... Favorite Birds


 Favorite Birds
It goes without saying that the Raptors are my favorite birds ... but I really love all birds and I have a hard time committing to any one bird or kind of bird as a favorite.  I have endless number of pictures of birds.  I have tried to gather a few of them, but, believe me when I say, I have only scratched the surface 😁







If I must pick a favorite, it would be the Turkey Vulture.  An often maligned character, who is an essential part of ecological balance.  The Turkey Vultures are social within their group.  When we rescued our Turkey Vulture he was unable to be returned to his natural setting, so he became social with his handlers.  He was playful and a joy to spend time with.  Everybody loved Turkey ...  




The eagles in the tree were in my front yard at our home on the lake ... I miss the joy of their visits.  The eagle in the center and on the bottom was a rescue which we happily were able to release after a short visit at the center.

Again, in a tree in my yard ... :)





If you want humming birds in your yard, plant Bee Balm .... they can't resist it :P

I could spend happy hours (days?) in your photo galleries.

These are all wonderful birds. The turkey vulture, or as we say buzzard, is essential in my area, which is far out in the country.

How could you pick just one?!

You are a terrific bird photographer. I especially liked seeing your raptor photos. I also like these birds, and am thrilled to see them in action. Your photos often caught them in action, not easy to do.

Great collection of photos! Raptors are my favorite too. How amazing that you got to see them up close and happy to hear that you were able to release them back into the wild again.
