Nice Shots Everyone!! Don't know if that last thread made it 24 hours..lol but it is called the Daily.

From the last thread: Lily nice shot's glad your bird's are returning..you have a lovely place (very nice scenery along your lake).
Pelle, Nice shots! Nice capture of your Cooper's Hawk doing his part to help control the Starling population.
Burn, nice shots of your bird's. I don't think your hawk is a Sharp-shinned...but may be a Merlin (matches my field guide) if anyone else has an opinion please jump in.
Frank, now I know where all the Goldfinch's hang-out. Nice capture with that sock shot!
Margaret, makes me warm inside that your lil Butcherbird does so well and has made you a part of its life.
Hack, really nice shots!! Your Towhee shots are my favorite! Be ready for all those Warbler's your going to get when they start coming back on their way north.
Reddirt, great shot of the pair of Red-tailed Hawk's...good to hear about the pairing activity. Today I had a pair of Cooper's Hawk's playing tag as raptor's do when they start paring up. Ive had enough of the snow, that's for sure.
Your 2nd Hawk picture is not of an immature Cooper's... and my book isn't helping me..maybe Resin or someone can Id it properly, all I can think is a Red-tailed Hawk right now.
Duc, nice shots as usual!! Really like your Oak Titmouse shot!!
ssmith419, nice capture of the Flicker and Downy sharing a meal!
jhowdy, once again welcome to the forum, you take very nice shots!! Looking forward to seeing more of your bird's!
dirt_in_ozone7b, Your flicker is drop dead gorgeous! Love the color's.
Duckmother, that swan is beautiful..nice shot!
Linth, super shots of your visitor's..you know I like the Red-belly shot's the best! Your Grackle's really look cool too.
Nanny, nice shots of your bird's! I too have that same low light and condition's, with no sun forecast for the next week. :(
Adel, nice shot of your Lesser Goldfinch!
Linth, more great photo's!! Send that Mockingbird up here if he's that lonely.lol Your Cardinal shot is fantastic!
Burn, so glad you got to see the Crossbill's, nice job with the shots! One of the Dicovery Channel show's had Crossbill's using those bill's to check for seed's in pine-cones...it was neat how they spread it apart with their bills, like it was made for that purpose.

If I missed anyone sorry about that.

The light was not good and snow shots can be a pain..this first one of Horned Lark's is not that great because there is just no contrast with snow shots.




Edited to say thanks for starting the new thread Adel! Sorry thought I was on a roll. lol
