Gosh, I don't know how I "lost" this forum from my favorites! Arrgh ... I know it was something I did when I was playing around with settings, etc. I really shouldn't do that, I miss out on so much!
I've got a lot of catching up to do on former threads and I know I will enjoy seeing all the great photo's!

MrsEd. Love the Downy Woodpeckers. We had a pair nest in our backyard last year, fun to watch. Since they vacated the nest hole some other animal has carved a huge cavity just under the little Downy entrance. I will have to post a photo sometime and maybe someone can tell me what they think. My husband said he wondered what bird did it but I'm thinking it may be raccoons ... to be closer to the feeders.

Love your Mourning Doves too ... one of my favorite backyard birds but ours are more gray in color than yours. Lovely birds!

Burd: I too love how you did the double photo's! Some folks are just so crafty, or is that computer savvy, LOL. It's all I can do to type correctly on these machines!

I especially love seeing birds that I don't see in my area. Like the little nuthatch, so cute!

I just can't compliment y'all enough on all these great photo's! My husband gave me a new camera for Christmas, Canon PowerShot SX20 IS ... I'm learning but I know it will be just like with my old one, take 50 pictures and all but a couple will be blurry and out of focus. I still have fun though and am pleased when a picture comes out decent.

We've had Painted Buntings at the feeders the past couple of weeks. I took this picture late this afternoon, the little guy sitting in the shrubbery, watching and waiting to flit over to the nearest feeder:
