Red-Bellied Woodpecker posing nicely.

Grackle with a peanut.

Blue Jay and his prize peanut.

I allowed some time to pass in case someone else wanted to post....but still have some pics to upload before bed, so I'll continue. Here is that cute Goldfinch again.

The Red-Bellied Woodpeckers were very photogenic today.

Grackle of many colors.

Another Woodpecker shot.

Collared Dove.

Nice shots GP! Your Grackle's are very colorful.

This was the tail end of a fight between the resident male Red-Bellied and an intruder (probably one of their offspring). Resident on the line.

Thanks Burd.....after his victory, the male came down to check on his partner.

Last pic....thanks' for bearing with me.

Love the last one GP...NICE!

Nice assortment Teresa!

Good pics GP!

I haven't been around for a couple of days. All I have to say is AWESOME pics everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes really awesome pictures, Thanks everyone.

I don't even have any juncos this year, first time I can remember not to have them around.

Yesterday I did see two chickadees, but they are really fast to come in and grab a sunflower seed and find a branch too far away for a picture, to eat their snack.

It snowed a skiff in the night now raining steadily.

I'm in McKinney, TX for a week keeping the grandsons while dau and hubby are in NYC. When we were down here Christmas she complained that she never sees a bird in her yard. I bought a tube feeder and some suet and hung in a tree. When we got down here she said she has never seen a bird on it. I replied that half the food was gone, so something has been feeding there.

Saw a lone dove on the feeder a short while later. While grilling some steaks late yesterday afternoon, two goldfinches came in. I put up a thistle feeder this morning and sprinkled some feed around on the ground under it. I always say, 'Build it and they will come.'

Lonesome dove.

Really nice photos gardenpom!
Loved your first red-bellied woodpecker!

Wow, gardenpom - You've been busy. That Red-Bellied Woodpeckers certainly was photogenic.

reddirtretiree - I got a Lonesome Dove,too.

It was a distant shot, but I captured a Brown-headed Nuthatch in flight.

I came across a small flock of Cedar Waxwings. I'll post a couple of pics. Their so smooth looking!

More CWWs.

Last one, not trying to be gross, but couldn't believe this action shot! Can double as a bird anatomy lesson:)

Nice ones Hack!

Missy, I love the Waxwings! (LOL on the action shot)

Nice Photos All!! Nice variety your getting Hack! Nice Waxwings shots thebestmissy, glad their "dropping" in. ;)

Has anyone else had their Junco's disappear on them? Normally have about a dozen, but haven't seen them in a week.

A couple of shots from today, sun was out in between snow squall's this afternoon.

Elvis heading down to the suet cage.

I have never seen a waxwing in my yard. Can someone tell me what to feed or plant that will attract them?

I ordered WILD BIRD magazine today. I am looking forward to trying it out.

Has anyone been on the eagle tours at KY Lake?

Teresa in KY

If Elvis is not at the suet feeder a Downy surely will be. Another male Red-bellied WP showed up today, maybe he will come to the tray feeder since Elvis will not.

Cleaned and refilled the feeder's today, not too many visitors showed but the White-breasted Nuthatches were allowed to be more selective since the Starlings have been gone.

Oh, cute
I had one of those today on the suet feeder.

Canada Geese fly over the house all day long, had a swan fly over yesterday but couldn't get the camera focused.

I wonder what sort of cross breeding created these. There were five of them altogether at this lake.

Hi Teresa, I sent you some D mail.

Nice pics adel and Burd!

Great shot of the flying geese and I love those hybrid ducks!

Love the Nuthatch and Downy Burd!

Adel, They are a handsome duck!

To Bluegrassmom: I have seen cedar waxwings eating the berries off my hawthorn trees in past years. They do not show up every year. Neat birds!

AWE!!!! Great photos!!

Missy, that last pic of the waxwing should go in the caption thread. It's sooo funny ROTFL

Just printed out my Great bird count ta;;y sheets. I think we have fewer types of bird types on the feeder. the red bellied wp checking out the suet feeder (with a tailboard) has not been seen again. I suppose its regular supply of food in holding out.
