Love all the BJ shots ...rose I want a 8x10 of that one with the peanut!!
The GD's are here until thursday. We went down to the lake yesterday and there were swallows and Purple Martins coming in close to me while I sat on the beach. There was a family of Mallard ducks too. Of course, I forgot the camera ..so no pics!!
So here are a few shots from last week...first the Red-bellied Woodpecker hanging on the fence...
Mr. Downy Woopecker...
Mr Robin....must have boys day this day!

Young one being feed.. Had to take this one through the railing on the deck.
Good parent, with loving eyes.
The Pine Sisken have come back to the yard.
The Yellow Warbler has returned this year.
The warbler is so soo cute, Burn. And the Robins. You can almost feel the love there b/w parent and child. Mother nature is marvelous!!!!
Nice photo's all! Methodical your pictures are "methodical" lol . The Brown-headed Cowbirds are beautiful. Ive seen the cowbird's do the "bow" before, it must be a greeting or something.
A better pic of Mrs. Robin on the nest.
Mrs. Swallow taking a break.
Steller's Jay
Fantastic pond, Mrs Ed. Now straighten that lantern!
As ever, great shots of wonderful birds. I wish I could comment on them all.
We went out looking for kangaroos today on a large island at one end of Perth city. This is a White-faced Heron on one of the small areas that still have a retaining wall. The entire area is being rehabilitated with native sedges and rushes to protect the banks from passing river traffic.
Thank you Margaret for a beautiful Heron shot. I watched a few of these egrets hunting for fish from a distance yesterday, the sight is so captivating. If I'm not mistaking, these beautiful birds capture their meals with their stallons?
Great shots Everyone!!!
Margaret, That is a beautiful heron!
The photos are amazing everyone!!
Margaret, excellent heron shot!
Adel, love the multi pics!! Mrs. Robin looks so peaceful.
Burn, love your pictures too-cute!

Boy oyu all are putting me to shame....all your great pics and all my BAD ones!!
Had this female Eastern Towhee a couple of day later....
Think she was protesting here...lol!
But look at all the great birds you are getting!
The Eastern Towhee protesting is cute, Nanny. Here is my Eastern Phoebe. Hardest working parent(s) I've ever seen.
Why did the Quail cross the road???? ( mother Calif. Quail with 14 of her 16 babes. Two of them went ahead with Dad.) Lousy pic, but the sun was at the wrong angel and it was a long shot so I had to do some real heavy cropping.
Mom with half of her family.
This male Bullock's Oriole only seem interested in the nectar, but the female..........
likes the nectar, raisins and peach preserves. She had three small bites and then grabbed this chunk and flew off with it. Do you think she has babes to feed?
adel, Those are adorable!!!
Sweet Eastern Phoebe Lily!
Duc, Love all your birds!
Okay Adel, not fair. I went and got the peach preserves and still my Orioles totally ignored it. Is your feeder dish just below the sugar water feeder there? Your little lady looks so cute, I only wish that some of my birds would enjoy the peach preserves too. Cute little Quail babies. We have lots of them here year round but still have not seen one little one.
Nanny, your photos are always beautiful. Your Towhee is a cutie with her little attitude.
duc, great shots of the Eagles and Tree Swallow, how nice.
Margaret, did your White- faced Heron seen a ghosts? :0) Good shot of it.
Adel, your Stellar jays has some great expressions. :)) And those Swallow such cuties
Tiger cute Killdeer looking at it's reflection in the water.
Birds are really good attentive parents.
Nanny what was it protesting about? Your Jammies?:)
Robins and Waxwings loves grapes. Was surprised to see the Cedar Waxwings in my garden this evening.
