DAILY PICS VOL. 233

Red, poor Quasi! Will he recover from whatever ailment? I've seen a purple finch with nearly bald head came to the feeder one morning. Since then I don't know whatever happened to him.

Cardinal.

Second pic.

Male and female Red-Bellied Woodpeckers.

The male landed in a Palm tree right next to me for a second.

Lily, the Cardinal is just molting. You always see a lot of inquiries in late summer about sick/strange looking Cardinals. Her Daddy still loves her. He was feeding her yesterday.:)

Wonderful shots everyone!

Two baby Catbirds on the roof of my garage taken less than 10' away. Suspected the mother had a nest nearby and sure 'nuff...

(Not the best pic, but I had to rush to get the shot.) ☺

I love seeing all of the great shots!!
Finally, I have something to share. My Barn Swallows have left the nest, they're everywhere and they swoop in quite close and have almost hit me and the dogs!

cute swallows

Great shots GP, WC and 3g's!

I was out in the yard and just when this Osprey flew over with a fish!! To bad the camera was set wrong...

I also spotted a Red-headed Woodpecker today...no pic tho!

I am going through way too much suet, and this is one of the reasons why. I am going to try and sit outside a while tomorrow morning, like I used to during the winter. I am looking forward to the end of summer and arrival of winter birds here...and plan on spending many hours outside enjoying them.

Three mockingbird babies too young to fly, but old enough to crawl out of their nest.

Next shot

I got half a dozen like this one. This was yesterday. As I watched they hopped from limb to limb and several times nearly fell to the ground. This morning the nest was empty and I saw one hopping on the ground. I got several pictures of it in one of our flower beds. They are on another camera. I will look for them in a minute.

Beautiful shots!!!

Nice Shots All! reddirt nice shot of the Heron, nanny Osprey with a fish, nice shot!

I filled the birthbath 3 times today. lol

Here is the mockingbird chick I spoke of a few posts back. Hope his parents rounded him up and moved him to a safe place. He looks to need several more days of feather growth.

Oh Dave he is adorable!!!!!!

Nice shots Burd and nanny!

Ah that mockingbird chick is just so cute! His legs are bigger than him :)

It's been really disappointing birding here this season. Last summer I had warblers everywhere, 8 different kinds. This year I don't think I've seen 8 total. The Bullock's Oriole's left when their nest was raided the day the eggs hatched. Very, very few birds of any kind here. Not even many at Herbert's Pond, but I do see the Great Blue Heron nearly each time I go there. It's bold for an adult, and allows me quite close.

The Osprey babes down the highway will be flying soon.

Great shots tiger! Hope things pic up for you during migration.

Hope that little mockingbird makes it, Dave. I had a young one on my patio the other day, but a lot more flight-ready than that one.

A shot of a Greater Roadrunner on my brother-in-law's roof. Spent the night with him last weekend and he commented that every morning a roadrunner sits up on his roof and surveys his acreage. Went out and there he was.

Another pic of the Yellow-crowned Night Heron we saw yesterday.

Them Roadrunners are too darn cite!

meep meep!

^_^

Very nice ones Red!

Resin I thought about that after I posted lol, the beak didn't look right. :

Beautiful photos everyone. You all have such beautiful birds!

One of our Osprey.

We went to check on the nest of the Osprey and found one juvenile is still hanging around and calling for mom or dad to feed it.

Nice!

For the folks from NJ there is a Roseate Spoonbill at Brigantine NWR!!!!
