A young tricolored heron

This pair of Great White Egrets have a new chick. They probably lost their 1st chicks to the alligators below the rookery.

Wonderful shots Burd, adel and Met!!!

bsharf, Great ones of the nesting areas!

This is such an awesome thread!

Hey Met, on behalf of Margaret I'll say thanks and wow! Her cable modem has gone kaput so she's without internet right now. but I'm sure she'd love, love, love the osprey shots.

Indeed great thread with so many beautiful birds, larger birds. Thanks all.

Great shots, bsharf. How nice to get to a rookery ..........

Love that trio of egrets!

I love all the pictures!!
Burd, hope you get more shots of the eagles. They sure have been around our house a lot along with two Osprey. I'd love to get a closer shot of that Kingfisher. I've just found one and it was hidden in the tree branches. Great capture of the Blue Heron too!
Adel, beautiful photo of the S. Towhee and T. Swallow.
Met, love all the Osprey photos-nice and clear.
Bsharf, your photos are awesome. I'd sure love to see those Cattle Egrets-they're gorgeous sitting together like that.

One of my Mourning Doves was grooming itself on the feeder.

Beautiful pictures. I have to post this one -- a new visitor to the flock. And escapee but now flying with the flock -- I saw one parrot feed the little budgie.

so many wonderful cool pics you guys, all of you take a bow.
baby robin.....

posing between my very expensive and highclass
dollar store frogs,
everyone's got a pair, right?
OK
well.
I have a pair.

meanwhile, mother robin is getting all wet and happy.

are orioles not so graceful... if so I might have seen one today for a split second.. was going to land on my butterfly bush and then realized it shouldn't... and took off into the woods

just saw an orange & black streak.... but not sure if it was the sun making it look that color or not

I got a wet one too!

there, now looking like someone you want to wake up next to.

hey onewish, yours is so much more refined and fashionable.

baby flicker

great shot!!... yes yours does somewhat have 80's hair!

baby flicker's ma teaching em a lesson with wings flapping and tail fanned and
head movement and chatter.
I think she's tired of feeding him/her and thinks you're old enough to do it yourself.
(later daddy does feed him/her after the camera was put away)

yep, onewish, probably rocks out to Heart and likes biker bars.

Great Photo's Everyone! Met those Osprey's wow! avaeads love the colors on that Rufous. Resin thanks for the ID's... filed as so, duc I took another trip today for Eagle's and the Belted KF, those kingfishers do not stay still, and to get close enough with the camera I have, seemed impossible. I got a couple of the Eagle and got a shot of the nest.

Hi mrw, Love that pic!

Best I could do with this Eastern Phoebe the other evening on my walk.

Still have the Pileated Woodpeckers coming....

Wow, love all the pix. The Northern Flickers are just precious. Nan, I'm so fond of those woodpeckers! Here is the Redheaded.
