Daily Pics - Vol. #225

Found this Green Heron with a mate at the local park.

Another one.

Duc, Love the Eagle/Crow pics! Beautiful Green Heron.

Nice Blue Jay shot nanny. You'll get that Indigo.

Duc, that looks just like what I see here at my office. The Hawks hang out on top of tall buildings, well duh! But I thought hawks were more predatory than I see. And I was/am shocked to see other birds, including Mockers chase the hawks. How does that happen? I mean, those hawks are so big. It is amazing to see the others chase the hawks. Hawks just go after ground-based little ones?

Those Eagle shots are awesome! Those Crows are either really brave or really stupid.

Oops, Eagle, not hawk! Blame it on advancing age?

Nice photos, everyone. It looks like starting tomorrow, I may get a few days of sunshine. It's about time.

I haven't posted any Osprey photos for awhile so here's one taken recently.

A 'Prairie Warbler' looking down at me ..........

Another 'Killdeer' photo ..........

An 'Eastern Kingbird' ............

An 'Indigo Bunting' .........

Another 'Cedar Waxwing' photo .......

Lin, I love all birds, but the Cedar Waxwing, wow!

Lily, I agree. The Cedar Waxwings are very striking birds and tolerate people getting relatively close to them much better than a lot of other species.

Here is another colorful bird - a male Eastern Towhee that I photographed today.

I saw a Townhee today, there was a chick on the ground. Apparently it felt off the nest from where I thought there was a Cardinal Nest. Anyhow, the parent bird came running when the baby cries out. I wished I could have captured some pictures.

A few more 'Cedar Waxwings' taken today ...................

Also, a female 'Summer Tanager', taken today. My first female this year. I have gotten photos of the male.

Another 'Indigo Bunting' taken this morning ..................

Great pictures, everyone. I wish the Towhees were still around here. I miss them. Only see waxwings in transet.

Cute Blue Jay nanny.

Duc, the photos of the Bald Eagles with crows in hot pursuit are fabulous. I really love the last one. Good job.

Linth, I love the Osprey (of course) and the Cedar Waxwing is absolutely beautiful.

Great Photo's all! ducbucln great job on the Eagles and Crows, I thought I was going to be posting a few pics of Gull's and Crow's chasing a Red-Tailed Hawk but they went behind some tree's. But later a Cooper's Hawk came through the neighborhood which caused quite a stir from the local bird's.

momma Cardinal always take's good photo's

Mulberry's are ripe.

My first photo of a Carolina Wren, it arrived earlier in the week, just a matter of time before I get a good pic.

like the 3rd bath of the day for this one. lol

a couple of Mourning Doves :|

Wow a Goldfinch not by the feeder lol

Lastly a Male Ruby, just glad to get a pic of this guy.

Pop Tree Swallow with the goodies.

Come and get it.

More More

Those swallows are to cute!!

This papa Blue Bird is always out when the light is all wrong!!

Nanny I know the feeling when the light is not on your side which is what happened to me Saturday when the Eastern Kingbird landed on the sign just outside the drivers side door but rain and poor lighting pretty much killed my shots. Oh well I will go back and hope to get another chance.

Great shots everyone!!!

LOL!!!

Strange indeed! LOL. Wonderful pix everyone. I'm late to catch on....

A male Downy WP at the feeder. :-)

Great pictures!!!
Burd, love that picture with the bunny and the dove. You have smaller bunnies than our big eared jackrabbits. Great picture of the Goldfinch on the tree too.

Adel, cute Tree Swallow pictures!! Love the babies shot.

Nanny, that's a handsome papa Bluebird. Don't worry about the lighting, at least you get to see him.

Lily, great WP picture. I guess I have to move my suet feeder. Seems like I get every bird except the wps.

The Crows chasing the Bald Eagles is a daily thing. These two were taken late yesterday.

I've only heard one young Crow, but the parents must be protecting a nest somewhere close by too.
