That is a good pictures with the Orioles on the HBF.
Here is a few pictures from this morning's fishing trip. It wasn't too productive this morning fishing or Birding. A lot of catbirds out and couldn't get a good photo after many attempts. Seen glimpses of B Orioles, played hide and seek with a pair of redheaded woodpeckers, but never got the shot I wanted.
This nuthatch was a pleasant find.
Here is a Northern Flicker (YS)
Here is an unknown, I think its maybe a bunting. I saw several male Indigo Buntings in the area.
Here is another of the unknown.
Eastern Wood Pewee, or maybe one of the Empidonax flycatchers if I misjudged the size as being larger than it actually is.

You guys, are all exceptional photographers! I'm WAY out of my league here! lol!
Last year I saved a mockingbird nest that fell out of a tree in my front yard, all the chicks (4) made it out of the nest ok,
It was July, 2008.
Would you believe that they built another nest in the same tree on the same branch this year!
This is the nest today.
This is the mom guarding the airspace close to the nest today.
- Just thought you birdwatchers would like to know how much creatures of habit they really are! - I’ll post a pic of the chicks if I ever get to see them in the future, Cya!
(& thanks for letting me post these)
WC ☺
chris8796 a flycatcher of some type, Resin I know you know your bird's, but I have to many pewee's pictures to know it's not one of those. This pic not great but its a pewee.
I've had so much fun today viewing all the gorgeous birds. I especially like Gary's kittiwake and cormorant colonies, and puffins, Duc's crows and Nanny's woodpeckers. But, truly, everyone's photos are so special. Thanks!
I think your probably right on its one of the Empidonax flycatchers. The funny thing is I could barely see it in the woods and didn't have any binos. It was probably 80' away and I shot the picture because he was one of the few birds I saw not hidden by the canopy. The other photos were crops from a 450 mm lense. I'm amazed he was in focus when I reviewed the pictures. Here is the uncropped picture.
Nice Shot WaterCan2! on the airspace Mockingbird. If you just joined the site Welcome Aboard!!
Thanks Burd, nice to meet 'ya, I've been around for awhile, usually on the photo thread, but I drop in now and then when I get a good pic for you guys or when I get something newsworthy. ☺
I went out to photograph the Osprey family today. First photo is of the family. There's a 3rd one but its tucked down in the nest. I got plenty good shots including nice in flight shots. I will post as I get time to review them.

2nd shot is one of the Juvenile testing its wings. The other had flown off the nest at this time.
This pic not great but its a pewee

Methodical, those osprey shots are super. Look at those talons!
Outstanding Met!!
Awesome photos Met!! Love that last one especially!
Chris, great photos too! Love the Nuthatch and the Yellow-shafted Flicker. Sorry about the fishing, but the photos were worth the trip.
Water, hope you'll have more cute babies!
This is a Bushtit.
I like this "attitude" pose on my Anna's Hummingbird.
This Scrub Jay baby was tired of the Tree Swallows diving at it so it jumped into the feeder. I think most of the other birds will be glad when the nearby baby Swallows fledge.
This young Tree Swallow was learning how to flex its wings and still balance on the perch.
another shot
Beautiful shots Duc. Wow, what are the chances that I and Chris would find the Whitebreased Nuthatch on the same day!
Oooops, I'm a day behind!
Doesn't matter, you got one Lily! I haven't seen one for a month or so. Cute!!
Double juvie Baltimore Orioles
I agree w/garden. Those osprey talons look deadly. Love the swallow and oriole kiddos.
Nanny, your babies are cute. Are they already eating the orange too? I've given up on my silly birds ever doing that!
Resin lol alright np . whatbird.com is really starting to stink, but at one time I was calling that picture/s Eastern Phobes when I went to their site and listened to the audio of both. Some other threads here had Phobes but i couldnt get a clear id from those.
Great shots everyone!
Great Osprey Shot's Met, duc you to, all those photo's would be hanging on my wall somewhere. I sent this one in for my mom.
Sparrow with white tail
Great osprey shots ,that would be soo cool.
Beautiful photos, everyone. Methodical, they are spectacular shots of the Ospreys. I'm envious
Oriole in my snapdragon blooms.
This Oriole was checking for bugs.
House Sparrows in the Lantana.
One more Oriole.
Love all those orioles.
Here is a baby Mallard that I helped rescue today with the aid of MargaretK and Duckmother,
Do tell us the duckling's story.
Here's a thrush on my garden fence.
