House Wren being busy!

I just love those Honeyeaters!!

One of several male Blues Birds around here...

Nice shots everyone.

Margaret...cool honey eater
Dellrose...I've been chasing the Indigo Bunting for awhile and can only get pics with him way up in the tree...yours is nice
Nanny...I've never seen a House Wren...cool. My Carolina Wren has abandoned me...but I hear them ever so often in the woods.

To that here is my contribution...some more Grackle shots. These seem more blue than what I've normally have seen

Hi Met, Even his legs and claws are blue!

Three Tufted Titmice in a little sweet gum tree

Brown Thrasher

My two previous days off from work I went looking for juvie Red-headed WP with no success. Earlier this spring both places were full of Red-heads. Today I went back to one of those places and found two juveniles. This one has an adult and a juvie.

Nice ones Frank. I love the Titmice and the Red-headed Woodpeckers! First time I've seen a juvenile.

Met, The pics are nice and sharp!

This one was hiding from me.

One flying to get some water.

Here's another Morning Dove

Great Photo's as usual! f_chisolm nice job on the Red-head's, to see them going to the water would have been a great sight for me. Meth, You do Grackle's proud, all your photo's are stunning. It's like Ive never seen some of those bird's before. lol

Sorry all I have nothing to contribute today, except this nest built by Red-eyed Vireo's. Its about as big as an orange.

The Common Yellowthroat. Pic not that great...had to crop heavily for such small bird

Chicadee, hanging upside down

All four hatched out. (American Robin) This will be the last pic for a couple of weeks. Heading for Colorado. Hope I see some new birds for my list.

Nice New Holland Honeyeater photos, Margaret.

Duc, great tree swallow pics.

Rose, superb quality photos. The Quail is a very elusive bird for me. Their numbers have declined dramatically in my area.

Adel, I always love your Oriole photos.

Frank, I like your Red-headed Woodpeckers. Another elusive bird for me.

Met, a lot of nice clear photos. I assume that you are enjoying the new camera ?

Here is a 'Prairie Warbler' photo taken today. I think this will be one of my all-time favorite photos.

A slightly different pose .........

We got some crowing to do.

rofl! Nice pic's dirt_in_ozone7b :)

Wonderful pics everyone!

Met, Nice Song Sparrow and beautiful Common Yellowthroat!

Adel, Great pic! Hope you get lots of birds in Colorado!

Burd, I love that nest!

Linth, Outstanding pic of the Prairie Warbler!

Dirt, Funny scene!

Nice shots everyone...I am jealous of the many birds some of you are seeing! Our summer arrived so early in our area and has been too miserable to get out and do any real birding like last year. Linth...I can see why that Prairie Warrior would be one of your all-time favorites...they are gorgeous shots! Dirt...very funny commentary and Burd that is a beautiful shot of the nest!

Here is a plain ole female Robin in the front yard yesterday.

A Chipping Sparrow landed on a perch to dry off after taking a bath.

and a juvenile Blue Jay.
