Nice shots Dellrose and Adel! Wish I had Acorn WP's around here, really like their color pattern.
A couple of shots from today, an injured Grackle stayed around all day. From what I can see he has somehow gotten a stick jammed into his cheek (inside), he was trying to get it out all day between feedings, and last I looked it was gone. not going to post bad side though.
No. of the Grackle
Kind of a Gothic shot. lol
A couple of Mourning Doves showed up.
Junco
WOW!!!! You guys have been busy. I went back to work so I haven't been around for a few days.
BRAVO!!!!! All of you took great photos. :-)
I don't have any right now. :-(
Next 2 pics will be the last ones. These pics help show Cooper's Hawk and Sharp-shinned Hawk characteristics.

Juvenile Cooper's Hawk, not Mr.Cooper. Both were nearly on the same branch but at different times yesterday.

Spotted Towhee
This morning a group of White-tailed Black Cockatoos stopped by for a drink, a quick freshen-up and a snack before continuing on their merry way. Here's one in one of the bird baths, taken from inside the house.
The first one was joined by a friend. It is such a privilege to have these beautiful birds drop by.
......
A young Kookaburra was dozing in the big gum tree at the osprey nest site this afternoon.
But I threw some stones at it and it woke up. (Just kidding)
Gorgeous Margaret!
Gorgeous shots Margaret! Love the Cockatoo's and Kookaburra!
Great shots adel and Burd!
Oh my Margaret...awesome shots of both birds. I don't believe I've ever seen the White-tailed and I love the sound of the Kookaburra!
Right now the wind chill is moocho below zero...I am going to the brush pile to see what's up!!
I think this is a Cassin's Finch
Rose, that color on the grackle looks like my hair after I stopped highlighting it!! LOL
Adel, those turkeys sure look healthy. Congrats on the wp at your feeder-it's adorable. Cute House Finch, I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. That Spotted Towhee is gorgeous-nice job.
Burd, poor grackle, hope it was able to get that stick out. Beautiful doves and junco. Great hawk shots.
Margaret, your Cocatoos are beautiful. I can't imagine them out in the wild on their own. And that Kookaburra-gorgeous!
I think this is a Nuttal's Woodpecker that showed up just outside our garden.
This Robin looked pretty.
This pair just sat still a second for their photo.
One last Robin.
Beautiful pics Duc!
BTW, sent you a D mail. :-)
Long shot through the window of a Yellow-rumped Warbler.
We have numerous visitors now to our third floor balcony.
The cats love it!
Some we aren't sure the names of, and I know you all can help us.
First is a white-breasted nuthatch

Next, we thought we would nedd ID for, but I have been looking at the most recent daily photos, and I think it is a red-bellied woodpecker?
