I thought this thread just started and it's halfway gone already! and WOW what amazing birds and photos. BLOWN AWAY by the WOODCOCK. That is the coolest bird CHRIS! Congrats VA WILD ROSE on the eagles and the heron with fish. I dream of heron with fish shots! DUC, are you makin' a field guide b/c that HOODED/BULLOCKS picture should be in a book! TOWHEES! Congrats ROCKMINER and NANNY. Nanny, that pic of the PILEATED with wings spread is just fantastic. TIGERLILY, your pigeon cracked me up. I bought a little feeder just for the Cardinals, but I have been very amused by the White-Winged Doves who have proven to be quite ingenious! Don't you think the Common Yellowthroat should be called the UNcommon Yellowthroat?

How sad is it when a beautiful little bird comes to your feeder for the first time in a long time and it's empty! Weird thing is that I was just asking about an old pic of house finches on the ID forum and then a pair shows up this afternoon.
