2nd photo

Nice shots everyone! Grasmussen, great shot of the Raven!
Mrs_Ed, I bet that was very loud, as close as you were.
Duc, nice shots as always! Is there a Eagle nest nearby you? You definitely get closer shots than I can get. We did have one in the area where you could get nice close-up shots, it was a nest, next to an old Tavern, but it was blown down by a storm last spring.
Hack, nice shots! I really like your combo shots and you have quite a variety also.
Nanny, you have a very busy backyard, nice shots!
Dave, your shots are one of kind, and with the snow, its like a story book that needs no words!
Met, Great Job! Your clarity is always there, and you nail all your shots!
VA_Wild_Rose, work that T1i, sweet shot!! :)

I'll throw in a few shots to the thread.

Brown-headed Cowbird

That male need's a different roosting spot. lol Here's a female.

Junco

Brown Creeper, they like to sit below the suet feeder to catch the scraps.

I moved Elvis's feeder much closer, I will be getting shots of him from this spot about 15 feet away.

Ive been trying to capture good shots of the birds flying away, here are some.

2nd

another

all were cropped of course

This Starling says no way its all mine.

The other one says, Oh Yeah!

Have a nice week everyone!

Thanks Burd. I like the 1st sparrow with it's wings wide open that is a classic shot

Hackster, you are so lucky to have the variety of birds that you especially this time of year.

I have to enjoy all the birds thru the rest of you people's photos. thanks

Here is one picture of the quail eating on my deck, thru the window on this cloudy day.

Donna

Sorry the quail were on the ground beside the deck

Here is a composition showing a bluebird that apparently had a problem with his right foot. Don't know if he stubbed it or it was packed with snow. After he lit on the fence he picked at it for several minutes. I got more than 30 shots but only had room for four.

Great shots everyone!!!

I am always so impressed with everyones pics!

Burd, That first flight shot is excellent and I love the one of the Starlings "no way it's all mine".

Donna, So great that you have all those Quail around!

Dave, Beautiful as always!

VA, Great shot of the Mockingbird!

Met, All your shots are wonderful!

I've been gone for a week or so and haven't been on the board much, nor taken many pics. Looks like I've got plenty of catching up to do. Arrived home to several inches of snow and mostly empty feeders. My big squirrel buster was so ice-laden the weight of the ice had closed the feeding ports. We should have some thawing today.

Took this shot of a Slate-colored Junco this a.m.

A Mourning Dove. Taken in McKinney, TX.

A pair of wintering Trumpeter Swans taken a couple of weeks ago. There are several sightings of wintering Trumpeters in OK this year. Significant to their long-term survival because the birds in the Central Flyway have all been transplanted with birds from the Rocky Mtns. and eggs from Alaska. Migration is a learned behavior passed from generation to generation. Looks like they are learning to migrate south.

Nice shots red! Love the Swans. Wow You are really having bad weather if it's closing the ports.

This is a couple weeks old, but another shot of the Oregon Dark-eyed Junco. I haven't seen it for a while now. :(

Wow! I've missed a lot. 3 threads worth of pictures!!!!! Kudos to everyone! Way to many to comment on. lol
I was working a dog show all weekend in San Francisco. I'm still exhausted.

Dave, every one of those photos are just stunning. Can you tell me which lens you were using with the 7D or were they different each time?
Hack, great shots! I especially enjoy seeing that Brown Thrasher-much more colorful than our Calif. Thrashers.
Adel, the Snow Geese sure are pretty.
Nanny, beautiful red-bellied! I'd love to see on here.
Met, that snow just enhances the beauty of each of your birds. Great job.
Wild Rose, beautiful mocker!
Burd, ref. the eagle nest, just too many trees to find a nest. Love those cowbirds and Elvis looks great. Glad we'll be seeing him a little closer, although your photos always make him look wonderful. Great action shots. Love those starlings.
Donna, that's a lot of quail. Guess the rooster didn't care about them being there.
Dave, love that bb x4 Wonder if it had ice on the toes and it was cold.
Red, great photo of the junco.

This Lesser Goldfinch was a distance away, but it looked so colorful in the gray tree limbs.

An Oak Titmouse looking for nuts in the feeder.

I liked this one of a California Towhee.

Another Calif. Towhee

And the last, a Spotted Towhee.

Just a few more from the other day...haven't had time today to get any new ones!

Downy Woodpecker
