DAILY PICS - VOL. 255

Picnickers don't like Kookaburras, Pelle. They're not shy about swooping down and relieving people of their food. I doesn't matter to the Kookaburra if a greasy barbequed snagger is still on a plate or about to be put into some unsuspecting mouth; anything is fair game. Scares the beejeebers out of kids and overseas visitors. LOL

Gorgeous shots everyone...such a treat to see birds from all over the country and world!

Here is a first in our yard yesterday...a Eurasian Collared Dove...that brings the total birds on the farm to 83 for the year so far!

Ahhh, now I really dream of pinicking in Perth with my future grandchildren. But will be sure to bring lots and lots extra snacks. Thanks Margaret for sharing. Wonderful pix everyone. Too many I can't possibly remark on everyone's. Love, love that Flicker, although our State bird, I recalled I saw but one in late spring here.

Wow, such a number and the variety! Pretty dove, Rose.

American Pipit.

Peeps, Least Sandpiper, I think. :)

Love the light blue on the Kookabura, Margaret. Congrats Rose on the new bird!
Hack, looks like you had a successful outing.

Here's a few pix from previous days.

White throated sparrows have arrived although they are not here every day. Talk about Camouflage.

Here's Margaret's Blue Jay.

And did someone say Purple Finch? This female visited yesterday.

Hard to tell here, but this was a flock of Falcons passing over.

Another unfortunate Anole captured by a Grackle.

Indigo Bunting. The Buntings are few and far between so far this year.

Two White Ibis.

Final pic, Turkey Vulture.

Am enjoying the pics you guys! Didn't get down to the lake yesterday. Thought I would go today but is a little chilly and down by the water I would be freezing!! Maybe tomorrow....

Nice shots GP...I'm wondering if the mild weather has delayed the arrival of the Buntings. I know the Indigos were here about a month longer than last year. I think they stayed here due to the abundance of natural food.

Nice shore birds Red.

Mrs. Ed...that is the cutest female Purple Finch. I love how they arrive and just pick up where they left off!! Love the camo White-throated and the Blue Jay with the Aussie accent!! LOL!

I thought all the winter birds had arrived but forgot about the Fox Sparrows...this one showed up today.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe this is a Red-tailed Hawk...dark-phase. There are 3 of them that are in the area.

Here is another one of them.

Wow, so many great shots in just a few hours!!

Rose, Congratulations on getting the beautiful Eurasian Collared Dove!

Red, I love the Pipits!

Mrs Ed, Great camo shot and sweet female Purple Finch!

GP, I love the shots of the White Ibis and Vulture!

I hope you are right, Rose...I will be very unhappy if I don't get my regular visitors here this winter.

Hey Rose, do you get the American Tree Sparrows down there? I'll know it's winter when they and the redpolls arrive.

Here's another bird I had today, a Hummingbird.

I'll be starting a new thread tomorrow so bear with me please!
