Thank you for the new thread, Margaret. Very nice photos. Is the Pink-eared Duck misnamed? I looked, but didn't see any. :) Are your Welcome Swallows the same as our Barn Swallows? I really like that name, because our Barns are always welcome to come here. I was enamored once again by them swooping around me this morning. I really did not want to go back inside.

Hack, great pictures too. I just adore those little hummingbird feet. :)

A couple of you commented about the Mourning Doves in the last thread. I fully agree with you. I want to say more and just deleted a chunk, but I am just happy to know there are others who think dove hunting is senseless.

Onto my photo. Yeah, I took this one- usually it is my son who gets the really good shots. We're signed up for a nature photography class this Saturday and I am not sure he really needs it. This was a real treat because I was standing a short ways from this bird. Not too many brave the feeders when we are outside.
