Nice shots Lily! I haven't been seeing many juvy Cardinals around.

Rock, that white-headed wp is incredible!! That accidental is amazing too!!

Great shots Lily. Cute Cardinals!

I believe these were Bushtits in my table fountain. I took the picture through a screen so it came out dark.

One of my many juvie Orioles.

I'm up to four juvenile Scrub Jays that are beginning to learn to fight each other for the chopped peanuts.

One more juv. Oriole.

Thanks for your kind comments. I'll try to get them up in 'Bird Files." Here is another looooong shot in deep shade. Shaped like the Solitaire but speckled all over. Could it be another juvenile?

Resin--Thank you for the ID. That makes two new birds for the day!

Bill

The Rufous Hummers have gone but the void is filling with Anna's. Male in poor light.

Their heads just glow when the light is right. Sorry for the poor quality but they are much more shy than the Rufous. these are long shots cropped a whole bunch.

Female

I've this darling Carolina Wren that joined in at the grain feeder, this is a new discovery for me. I'm so glad to see these cheerful darling birds coming around. :-)

Thanks Resin for the bird's identity confirmation.

Lily, your wren is a cutie. They sure move fast don't they?

Rock, that is a beautiful Solitaire. Great job on the hummers.

Great pics Duc, RM and Lily!

Love the male Anna's, Solitaire, Bushtits and Orioles!

Lily, I love the Carolina Wrens. Their so friendly!

Catching up here after having the GD's for a few days.

Cool to see a photo of a White-headed Woodpecker!!

Red-bellied Woodpecker

Blue Bird Fledgling....

A papa Blue Bird at the other end of the road...

Nice pics nanny!

Well it's unbearably hot this morning already. Doubt I'll be getting many pics today but we'll see.

Nice Shot's All! Rock never seen a White-headed WP or a Solitaire thanks for sharing those.

Here is the sad and lonely juvenile Red-tailed Hawk today. He is still crying a lot.

Nanny, love that wp photo and the bluebird baby is adorable!!

Wow, that hawk is gorgeous Pelle!

This Oriole was looking for bugs-I think.

The Hollyhocks sure do attract these Orioles and the hummingbirds!

One more.

My Orioles are gone, duc. Checked Ebird and there hasn't been one reported in OK since 09 July. Oh well. We had a good season and it will help with the wasp problem. Enjoy yours.

Love your Orioles duc!

Red, do birds help to keep wasp in check? Oh Duc, your Orioles on your flowers are some of the most beautiful pictures I've seen!

Cool hawk shot pelle! I hope to be seeing some soon. I have them a couple of times lately.

This thread started a week ago which reflects the current state of bird activity for many of us. Once the heat of the day escalates, bird sounds and visible birds become less obvious. So, for now, if I don't see it between 7 a.m and 10 a.m., I won't see it !

Here's a recent photo of a small flock of Canada Geese.

One of my favorite birds ..... a Yellow-breasted Chat. Even they have become quiet.

Another Yellow-breasted Chat ........

A somewhat ghostly-looking 'Little Blue Heron'. I do see a lot of these.

And, lastly, an 'Osprey' perched overhead .....

Outstanding shots Linth!! Love the geese!

Not much bird activity here. Blue Jay with a peanut.

Young Grackle asking for food.

Nice shots GP!

It has been oppressively humid here the last few days. Big storms came through last night even creating a tornado in a Pa. town. This morning it's so beautiful out with a lovely breeze. Lots of birds here along with the nuisance ones.
