Female cardinal. The highlighs behind her are daylilies.

Another view.

BurdFotos, the tails on the top three "unknowns" are just lovely, aren't they"

And the tail feathers on your last "Song Sparrow" highlighted by the software are stunning.

What a cute little Robin2Cousins.

Here's a couple shots of the Ruby-throated Hummingbird. I believe it's a male.

2nd shot of the Hummingbird

Wow, just over night, and I can't possibly catch up with all the beautiful pix. I especially like the Artic Tern in close up, Gary, and your beautimous Rufous hummer Met. Burd, some great shots! I'm awaiting for the I.D. of your photos, the unknown bird on a type of berries tree, is that a mulberries tree?

I finally caught a glimpse of a Cardinal juvies. Woohooo! (How can we tell the gender of the youngun? Anyone can help?).

Great shots guys!

Yes Met that is a beautiful shot of a male Ruby-throated Hummingbird.

Gary, Wonderful pics!

Dave, Love the female Cardinal!

Burd, nice shots. The one (#9) looks like a female Rose-breasted Grosbeak.

Lily, Cute juvy! I've been seeing mine around too.

Lily from the color it looks like a female

Ruby Throat shots

Wonderful shot hugger!!

Those sure are gorgeious tiny little birds!

Beautiful shots on this thread...as always this is a great place to see birds from all over!

Here is a long range shot of a Great Horned Owl being harassed by a Red-winged Blackbird.

He dared to enter the "no-fly" zone!

The Crows got into the act also!

Wow, Rose! Definately we need to swap house --- 'cause I want to be able see some of the birds that you see there, and simply I don't here! Love your action shots!

Very cool Rose!!! Your so lucky to have them!

There were also Barn Swallows in the attack and the Owl finally left the area.

Thank Lily and Pelle...it was a nice ending to a beautiful day!

Rose, that is so funny. That owl couldn't give a HOOT about those birds.

It's interesting to see nature unfolding right in front of our eyes. I saw a small bird chasing a crow or a grackle the other day. First I thought it was an Eastern Kingbird because of the white belly and tail, I was looking straight up overhead, but then later, I was wondering it may have been a titmouse?

Oooh yes, I heard 'pecking noises' coming back from the dead tree in the neighborhood where the crows seemingly had taken over for a while. Maybe, just maybe my Redheaded woodpeckers are back. I'll be looking out for more pic. to share...

Here is a peaceful view of the corner of my world. The fishermen are enjoying a decent day at the lake, so do the Canadian geese and their cignets.

Ooops, editted for typos.

Rose, that Owl is amazing!! You got really great photos for us too!! What a racket you must have heard with all the other birds telling it to leave.
Lily, glad you found the baby for us too.
Meth, that's a gorgeous hummer that we don't find in our area.
Gras, beautiful pictures!!!
Dave, love all your pictures.
Burd, love the variety of birds you have there too.

My first baby Crow.

The morning sun almost ruined this picture completely, but we had three California Thrashers wandering around the property next to us.

Oh that is cool duc! Love their beak!

Rose...GREAT Horned Owl shots...that is one on my most wanted list!!

Is that a new one for you Rose?

Wow Rose, your Great Horned Owl pics "very nice". Nice Hummer Met.
