Tiger, your little creeper is a cutie!
Hack, congrats on the new sighting.
Dirt, your chickadee is so cute on the sunflower!! Your garden looks like a wonderland for the birds.
My Brewers Blackbirds seem to love just sitting around the feeders.
Here's another one.
The Bald Eagles were out fishing on the water.
This little House Sparrow was looking cute in the Toyon tree berries.
This Bewick's Wren was a cutie.
I'm glad to return to our Forum with some pix. This is my first sighting of the flock of waterfowls, a harbinger of Fall; American Coots returning to our local lake for Fall-winter migration.
As a bonus, I spotted a Common Loon (toward the right corner of the flock of American Coots) in the area for the second time this year. The first time I saw one was back in the Summer.
A Western Scurb-Jay playing peek-a-boo
This female American Robin popped up out of the black berries just long enough to get her picture taken.
Hey, the kids finally let me get one today...man there are lots of great photos! Those little bushtits are adorable. I want some!!
Not near as impressive as the eagle shot...but I was outside in the yard watching 4 Turkey Vultures soaring this afternoon and this was the best I could get.
Here's a little female bushtit for you nanny. I was so tickled they showed up again today!
Nice shots on this thread...gosh those Bushtits are adorable! I would love to see one!
We had sun yesterday but the wind was terrible. Today it is raining buckets....grrrrr.....I am heading to the tanning bed!!
Yesterday we saw all these "white birds" circling the pasture across the road.
They turned out to be Kildeer and there were over a hundred that landed in the pasture. I've never seen that many together...they must be migrating to a warmer climate.
I got all crummy shots yesterday but enjoyed see what was going on anyway. I noticed all these birds in a dead tree in our wooded area and after cropping them I could see that they were Northern Flicker Woodpeckers. Here is a shot showing 5 of them...kind of hard to see.
Here is a closer crop showing just three of them. It was really neat to see so many together!
The only shots I got at the brush pile yesterday was a Hairy Woodpecker. Lots of twigs in the way but not a bird I normally see!
Great shots everyone!
I'll give a little more time for everyone to see them before starting a new thread.
Okay off to the NEW THREAD http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1051991/
