DAILY PICS VOL. 248

Last one...Eastern Wood-Pewee

Nice additions to the rehab theme, Gary .......

Great shots, Rose !!!


Here is an Eastern Screech Owl - Red Morph that I photographed this weekend. He lost his left eye in an accident so I'm only showing his good side. It looks like they may have put a glass eye into his damaged eye socket.

Thanks Linth...Wowzers...what a beautiful Owl!!

The Eastern Meadowlarks seemed to disappear for the past month but they are back in numbers. These two were in the top of the walnut tree this ...the one on the right was singing up a storm and the other one was very quiet. These are for you Marna!!

Beautiful shot, Rose. I keep looking for Eastern Meadowlarks but seldom see them. And, you got them against a blue sky. I'm envious !!!

Beautiful shots Gary.

Rose I just love that Lincoln's Sparrow! I was bright and early today for bloodwork...12 hour fasting so I was off to get it done so I could eat. Coming back in I saw a Meadowlark up on the wire in the morning sun...wish I would have had the camera with me...darn it!

A few shot from last Wednesday at my favorite warbler spot.


Male Cardinal.....

A little Carolina Chickadee...they just fascinate me!

Black-throated Green Warbler popped by....

The Tufted Titmouse....they are reappearing all over now!

Oh wow Rose, look at that beeeeeuuuuuuuuuuteeeeeful Meadowlark singing its heart out! Love it!

nice selection, Nanny!

Thanks for the new thread, Mrs Ed. Great shots.

Loved your series on the release, Gary.

Nanny, lovely shots. The Titmouse is so sweet.

Striking Grackle, GP.

Rose, that's the first time I've seen Lincoln's Sparrow. What a beautiful bird. The Meadowlarks are fabulous.

I can't drag myself away from the Osprey nest, so any photos of birds I get are from there. Yesterday a Laughing Turtledove (an introduced species) and a Rainbow Lorikeet (a beautiful pest) were close together on a branch below the Osprey nest.

To keep from running afoul of the copyright law I have to modify the pics that appear in the book I introduced last thread. Here is how I see a Spitting Finch.

The books can be found on line at PeachtreePublishers.com ( look under author John Sill)

Got an audio for that one? lol

Wowee, great photos. Mrs-Ed wonderful start to the thread.

Beautiful shots Margaret! Love the Dove!

I saw the book at Amazon, and will probably get it, Adele. It seems like such a funny book. Don't do anything to get yourself into trouble. Nice birds, Margaret. Love those Meadowlarks too!

That Lorikeet seems to be trying it best to annoy the turtle dove! lol

Nanny, that seems to be their purpose in life - to be as noisy and irritating as possible.

HA!!! :0)

Nice shots Nanny...I have bird envy!!

Love the Lorikeet and Dove Margaret!

It looks like Autumn has officially arrived on the the farm...just spotted the first White-crowned Sparrow..let the fun begin!!

Today is overcast and raining but yesterday was a beautiful sunny day. Here is a male juvenile Cardinal.

I think this one is an adult male that is molting.

Another shot from yesterday...Indigo Bunting.

Last shot from yesterday...a juvenile Northern Mockingbird enjoying the poke-berries!!

Great shot of the berry eating Mockingbird, Rose!

wow, nice catch on the mockingbird.

I had what I think was a tan-form white throated sparrow the other day, so that's my signal for fall.

Just came in from birdwatching all morning....got a lot of soaring birds, including this one which I believe is a Peregrine Falcon. This pic has been cropped and lightened to help ID. Still no Buntings :(

Yep, Peregrine Falcon.

Resin

What beautiful photos!! Everyone does such a great job with their pictures.


This is one of my pretty Brewers Blackbirds.

A male Brewers Blackbird

Our Mockingbirds are finally showing off

another one

This pair of Mockingbirds seemed to be playing tag and chasing each other between the trees.

Turkey Vultures are a daily thing around here, but these two looked so cute just sitting and enjoying the sun.

I don't know if you can call them cute, but that is a real nice pic of the Vultures.
