#284 new daily pix

Lily...she is a beauty! I saw a Coot on our pond this fall..must have been heading south. I am sooo looking forward to spring and shots of your shorebirds.

Claudcat...nice shots...love the Mallards. You have a great variety!

Linda...Looks like a Titmouse to me...I'm not sure what kind you have there, in our area they are Tufted.

Howdy..welcome to the BW Forum...goodness, beautiful shot of the Oriole. Can't wait for their return in the spring!

Thanks Dell, I sure wish the other birds turned out. They fly so fast and just don't stay put. What's up with that? Don't they know I want their picture? lol

I haven't anything to post, but everyone's birds are just so beautiful. That Oriole is a knockout, howdy. Thanks for the link, duc. Duc, the Wattlebird is an adult male. He was quite a hefty bird. The juveniles are smaller and don't have the reddish eye that the adults have.

Wow! The pix are spectacular. Naturally, I love the ducks ;o) The oriole is outstanding!

Thank you duckmother...The male is sooo beautiful! I thought I had a photo of the blue on him. HMMM?

Found it...I love the blue stripes on his back!

Beautiful shots, but that Oriole if gorgeous! I glanced out back and saw my male Red-Bellied Woodpecker hanging from the finch feeder, eating seed...but then it started raining, and he just hung like this a long time, I guess to stay dry. Gosh, in my pic the seed looks' moldy, but it's not, I just changed it.

Thanks all. Here one I may need a little help with. I guessing a juvenile red belly? I love the camo against the pecan tree trunk.

LOL, Oops I'm sorry Linda. He is a nice one!

Hi Hack, The Titmouse has a black crest.
