DAILY PICS VOL. 239

Margaret...I've been so busy gardening and doing various things around the new place. We are planning a trip or two over the next 2 weeks, so I will hopefully be able to find something...cannot wait...the body needs a rest.

Wonderful pictures! I'm going to have to catch up later this weekend as I'm attending a workshop.

I agree, some fantastic shots on this thread! Keep them coming!

Wonderful shots everyone!

Congrats on the new birds Teresa!

Al, your shots are wonderful, especially that first Woodpecker shot. Amazingly sharp and clear.

Good ones Al!

Hey all nice photos, nice variety also. I have only been able to get a couple shots the last month because of the pc problems I was having, I plan on getting out again to get some more shots. Here's some Northern Flicker shots I got from a couple weeks ago.

Where is a flicker when you need one? We have lots of ants!

Nice assortment!!!
The Willie Wagtail is a so cute, Margaret. wouldn't take much for him, to be friend with you. And the Corella in the hole I like.
Meth, sharp, sharp, sharp!!!!
Teresa, the Roadrunner, is so neat.
Burd_Fotos, are the flicker regulars at your place?

Those 2 were just passing through, however a couple of years ago I had them for a longer period of time. The parents were training the young ones and they were around for about 2 weeks.

Nice pics Burd! I love Flickers!

Thanks for the reply Burd.

A little family of Mallards swimming on a pond.

A Barn Swallow

Ooops ......A picture would help, wouldn't it.

I'm not certain for this one, but my guess is the Red-tailed Hawk?
Picture have been lighten up quite a bit, and crop big time.

Black-capped Chickadee, working on a sunflower seed.

Yellow-billed Cuckoo

Burn NP... yes a Red-tailed Hawk

Nice Cuckoo! I'd love to see one!

Me too! Nice one Frank!

Burn, Love the Barn Swallow and Red-tailed Hawk!

Thanks for the new thread Pelle...and what a gorgeous shot with that sunset pic!!

There is such a beautiful variety of birds on this thread I am truly blown away...it's like going on a birding trip and sitting on your butt while doing so!! Really gorgeous thread everyone!!

I spotted this Blue-gray Gnatcatcher outside the window on the Autumn clematis yesterday morning. This was shot through the window screen.

Oh really nice shot Rose!

Thanks Pelle...I will be glad when I can take the screens off a few of the windows again. Here is a thru the screen shot of a Yellow Warbler from the other day. Wish I had been set up outside. I am so glad I let the Cockscombs come up here as the birds have really enjoyed them. I also had 2 Orioles on them yesterday morning.

Thanks Pelle, and Burn for compliments!

Rose, by far you and Duc had some beautiful shots of birds enjoying your flowers/garden. There are so many interesting birds are posted here. I enjoy watching the pictures and forgot to post my own. ^_^

Yes indeed! There is a beautiful variety of birds on the new thread, and beautiful pictures. Burn, I've seen some black-capped chickadees the past couple of days. Guess they're migrating. They move around very quickly, very cute little birds. Nice pics:)

Female Red-Bellied Woodpecker this morning.

Osprey passing over.

Turkey Vulture.

Lots of birds high in the sky. Here are a couple of Anhingas.

And a couple of Wood Storks.

I saw these in the distance as I was going inside. Inset pic shows they are Laughing Gulls, not Kites, as I thought at first. (thanks,Resin).

Sorry, last ones are Laughing Gulls - the one in the inset, the "V-tail" is actually the left wing behind the tail ;-)
