linth, I'm impressed with the bush that warbler is in. What is it?
A couple of poor shots of a Green Heron that has been on the ponds recently. It was almost dark and he just won't let me get close to him. He has the most beautiful blue-green plumage with a rufous throat. Maybe I can get some better pics with an early morning shot.
Wow, great pix everyone. Boys I spent lot of time going over all the pictures, and enjoyed them all. Thank you, here is a pix of a night heron that occassionally visit us. Not often but every now and then.
Way to many great pics so....BEAUTIFUL GUYS!!! LOL
It was baby time here yesterday evening.....daddy Cardinal feeding a juvie.
One of MANY juvie Cardinals!!
Male Juvie???
"your not my daddy!"
Juvie Red-bellied Woodpecker and a male Cardinal
There's my daddy!!!!!
me & dad...
even the PIleated's came by...but it was getting a bit late so it was a little dark in the backyard.....
Nan, I love the Me & Dad serries of the Cardinal and the Woodpeckers. Those Pealletes never venture this far South! They're neat looking.
Great shots everyone from the weekend. I have never seen a New Holland Honey Eater. What a neat bird. So pretty and petite.
The indigo looks like he is posing for the shot.
We are trying to help the mom's feed babies.
Thia next one is of one of my male cardinals having a bad feather day, but staying cool.
He is sharing his bird bath.
Coolest shots of the birds in the bath. Daneaj.
Wonderful photos everyone!!
Nanny, love all the wps!
DaneaJ love alll your cute photos of the Cardinal.
Lily, that Night Heron is great.
One of my younger Scrub Jays.
The younger Orioles were sure hot when it got up to 100 here.
This one was upset because everyone was hogging the feeders and it couldn't get anything to eat.
It seems the Hollyhocks have lots of bugs that taste good to these birds.

Duc, those Orioles are gorgeous, the last few pictures are just as pretty as ancient Chinese paintings.
My very first goldfinch revisits since early spring this year. ^_^
Linthicum,
The 'Prairie Warbler' photos are an outstanding!!! Such beautiful, bright, bold colors. A truly magnificent photo.
I have to agree Duc those pictures with the Orioles on the hollyhocks are very impressive. What is your camera of choice, if you don't mind me asking.
Thank you Lily and DaneaJ. I have Canon Rebel XTi. Lily, congrats on the Gfinch sighting.
duc, nice photos of the Orioles in the Hollyhocks.
red, I'm not certain what bush the Prairie Warbler is in but I'll see if I can find out. Perhaps somebody else knows.
Here's a 'Cedar Waxwing' who happens to enjoy the berries on the bush in question.

An 'American Goldfinch'.

A 'Brown Thrasher' photo taken yesterday.
A 'Great-crested Flycatcher' standing on the road.
An 'Osprey' taking in the morning sun.
Wonderful pictures, Lin. Nice color and clarity!
Great pics Linth!
I love the Thrasher.
I'm not certain what bush the Prairie Warbler is in but I'' see if I can find out.
My eyes are very tired...Is this a juvie or an adult female Pileated Woodpecker? if it is the juvie it came all by it's self!!! I was working out in the yard and they were all just a carrying on flying around. I was hearing flickers too but never saw one.
Hard to tell, juv Pileateds are not so distinct as most other woodpecker juvs; from Sibley the only difference is the eye colour, mid-brown in adults, dark in juvs. I'd say it'd need a better resolution pic to tell for sure!
