There are many wonderful and interesting birds here in Ohio. We met two types of unique birds while out on a hike in Shawnee Lookout park. I’ll be posting more about the park in a later article but for now, let’s focus on these wonderful creatures. We ran into a couple of nuthatches who were busy singing their song while foraging down the trees. Their big bodies, small skinny legs and gripping feet make them an interesting bird to watch. We also saw three vulture sisters named Flossie, Glossy and Mossy. They were out for a nice lunch of fish. Shawnee Lookout is a great place to view waterfowl and I look forward to visiting again in the Spring.

Soaring away.
Beautiful birds. The wee ones are so cute and happy to be photographed.
Thanks Gallivanta.
What cute little plump birds! 🙂
Thanks. 🙂
Hej hej Sethsnap! Love your pix and comments. Thanks for also stopping by my blog..I have often tried to take photos of birds. It is very difficult, they just keep moving! Have a great day.
Thanks for your kind words. 🙂 Yes they can be difficult to capture. 🙂
Nice shots. I saw a nuthatch when I was out for a walk on Monday. Out of the corner of my eye I just saw something move up in a tree, then he shimmied about a bit and was away. I usually see treecreapers but rarely nuthatches.
Thanks. Glad to know y’all have them over there too. 🙂
Never seen a Nuthatch before. Fascinating little birds. Great shots.
Thanks so much. They are cute little birds. They would start high in the street and circle their way down singing as they went.
Interesting. Your nuthatches are different to those we get in the UK. Ours have more distinctive eye markings.
We have several types here. 🙂 Funny, before I started taking pictures I had no clue about birds. Now, I have to put my research hat on but I’ve learned quite a few things.
Reblogged this on Wotsamandu's Blog.
We have nuthatches in the woods near me. They have more blue in their plumage… being UK cousins. Great little birds to watch. Love the Turkey Vultures. Nice post.
Thanks. I was wondering if anyone would like the vultures. 🙂
Wow very cool bird pics Mr Seth! I love seek g birds that we don’t get in our region! Thanks for sharing! Hugz, Lisa
Lisa, Thanks so much. 🙂
Reblogged this on pindanpost.
Thanks for the re-blog Tom.
Adorable and creepy at the same time!
Thanks Elizabeth.
They are so cute and adorable .
Yes they are cute. 😉 Thanks Sonu.
“The Vulture Sisters” and “Nice Legs” LOL
Thanks Eliz. 🙂
Love your descriptions. Thanks for making me smile this morning.
Welcome. Glad to help. 🙂
Love the pictures. I’ve told by my photographer friends that birds are one of the most difficult things to get photos of. Is it really that hard?
I think it depends on a lot of luck. 🙂
Mother nature at her best
Yes agree. 🙂
Cute little blue bird … never seen that before – we have a blue bird over here, but he has a yellow chest. Great gallery as always. Claudette from Hazard. – my pick.
Thanks Viveka.
Loving your work as always! The contrast between soft feathers and rough tree bark is very engaging!
Thx. 🙂
Seth you should make a monthly publication or wrap-up for your themed galleries because they are awesome and worth a look back!
Thanks. 🙂 ..
Wooow, wonderful pict of the birds
visit my blog, 🙂 aliensyiroh.wordpress.com
Thanks Aliensyiroh
I find taking photographs of birds so difficult – I just get set up and they are gone! I bow down before you!!!!!! Those are lovely shots. Especially the vultures in flight. We have lots of turkey vultures where I live and I think they are magnificent birds!
Thanks Diane. They are a strange looking bird but are very beautiful in flight.
How cute! I love the little one especially, the others are great, but the birds apparently got the memo and decided to leave. that always happens to me… LOL 😀
Thanks Keli. 🙂
We will be spending summer and fall in Ohio assisting with elderly parents. I will have to be on the lookout for these beauties.
Nice. What part of Ohio?
Near Dayton, out in the country (Englewood).
Yeah I know it. I work in Miamisburg.
I guess you would know it then. 🙂
Yeah. 🙂 Did you grow up here?
No, my husband did. I’m an Illinois girl but spent many of my adult years in AZ.
So cute!!! cheeky little bird in the first pictures! =D
Thanks Sahar.
What phenomenal shots these are! You capture the personality of these birds even. Maybe part of that is your great captions, but I really enjoyed these today! Thanks for your perspective on the world!
Thanks Kami.
Little birdie on the bark tree

Nice. Thanks Kalabalu.
Beautiful! Thank you.
Thanks Elorayne.
Turkey vultures! Often mistaken by the young and/or naive as eagles or hawks from a distance. Nice post 🙂
Yes they are big ole birds. And that red face. 🙂
Nice shots! I can barely find a nuthatch in my binoculars, let alone get one picture, and you’ve got dozens! Well done. I love nuthatches. Well, I actually love all birds. Even turkey vultures.
Yeah.. I think vultures get a bad rap. They are important to the ecosystem. 🙂
They might be ugly, but they are beautiful when they fly.
Agreed. 🙂
I love taking pictures of birds but they never want to sit still and pose. You got some great shots!
Thanks. 🙂 ..
Wow! Wonderful!
Thanks Toni.
Haha. That little bird cracks me up. He’s so cute.
Thanks Sara.
Beautiful! I love your little sayings 🙂
Thanks!!! 🙂
Fabulous photos!!! You must have a lot of patience!!
Thanks Carmen.
So nice to see the turkey vultures included in the post. The dead critter probably needed to ripen a bit for easier eating. lol
🙂 Maybe. I think it was a fish.
Little birdies! How cute. The vultures are a bit intimidating but awesome pictures. Love the take off photo of them .
Thanks so much Tasha.
Incredible photographs, wow!
That’s kind. Thanks.
Loved these and the captions too! Nicely done!
👍👍thanks.
I came here since you liked my post- but wow- your stuff is really awesome! Glad I visited!
Glad too. Thanks.
This post must be one of my favorites on your blog, what camera do you use? But anyway I figured I’d stop by and let you know that I referred to your page in a One Lovely Blog award post and let you know that I do admire your website and photography!
Emily, I use a Nikon D3100. Thanks so much. That’s very kind of you.
White breasted Nuthatch huh? We have the red breasted Nuthatch over here in Wa state. Ours doesn’t seem to be that red though. 🙂 Great pix.
Thanks so much. 🙂
Wonderfully taken.
lol…cool photos Seth…love the commentary with them 🙂
Thanks Heather. No too silly for you? 😉
Thanks for stopping by my blog and liking my skimmer. I often get inspiration from photos on-line, so don’t be surprised if you see a familiar-looking bird come up on my site. 🙂 Gorgeous photos!
Thanks Claire. 🙂 Look forward to it.
