Immature Grey Heron. Closely related to Great Blue Heron, but with grey thighs, not purple-brown thighs.

The previous thread is here if you want to revisit: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1017208/

Here's a nice male Reed Bunting

Resin

And a Reed Warbler - tricky one to get, a skulker of a bird, usually hiding in the reeds!

Resin

Great shots Resin! Love that Reed Bunting along with the others.

Thanks for starting the new thread!

Pelle

Rose, love your Bluebirds and Jay in the last thread!! Great photos!

Linth, awesome catch of the Osprey and I love the Egret and Ibis too.

Resin, beautiful heron photo. Loved the Bunting and Warbler too!

One of our juvenile Scrub Jays was waiting for its peanuts.

How many nuts can you eat at one time?

Nice Shots Resin!

Love your Scrub Jays duc!

Nice new birds Resin, don't see those very often here.
Great scrrub Jay pic Duc.

This Purple finch, is pretty mad at me for not filling the feeders :).

American Robin with a grape.

Resin, your little Reed Warbler is so sweer looking!

...and I like the angry purple finch. :-)

Burn, love that grumpy finch!! I didn't know the Robins liked grapes. I'll have to try putting some out in the fall when they migrate through here.

I was excited the other day to get my first photos of a Black-crowned Night Heron. They're here year round, but I usually see them in the higher trees.

Hot Grackle.

I have a question and need advice. I would like to repaint this feeder, and was wondering if that would OK for the birds.

Gardenpom, your photos are all really good. Our Mockingbirds seem to have disappeared, but hopefully they'll return soon. Love that Cardinal and the Grackle too.

Nice shots GP. Here is my poor male cardinal. He has suffered all summer with the feather mites.

Cute juvenile Cardinals GP!!

They do look sad Dave.

GP your juvie cardinal looks sweet. The problem with paint is lead? Or is that old fashion thinking, now aday did they take that toxic stuff away from paint already? Maybe young folks can re-educate me.

Oh Dave, I wished your cardinal gets over that. Poor thing!

Here I've a female cardinal, not sure what she was hogging, I meant hugging, but she was really serious about doing that. lol.

Great shots!!
Raining hard here all day the birds are hiding. I was taking a shot of my flooded back yard when I noticed this Robin taking shelter from the deluge.

Nice ones Lily and 3g's!

I went out early this morning to take some photos and spotted a heron on the river Wansbeck at Morpeth.

Nice one knip!!!

Dave, your poor Cardinal sure needs some feathers before fall arrives.
Lily, your Cardinal is a cutie too.
3gardeners, at least your Robin found shelter. Cute!
Knip great picture of the heron!!

The 13 day old Eastern Bluebirds come to the worm feeder cage and beg the parents to feed them. They haven't figured out yet how to feed themselves.

A cute closeup of two of them.

We had about 40 or 50 Barn Swallows today...here is one of the Juveniles.

and a handsome male Cardinal.

Absolute perfection Rose!

Those juvie Bluebirds are just adorable and that Cardinal is one gorgeous guy!
