DAILY PICS. VOLUME 287

Yah, i'm having that problem right now too. They must still be migrating servers.

Maggie is adorable!

Been following along and you all have helped me identify a couple of birds already. I've taken some recently that if you don't mind, I'd like to post for ID.

She's adorable duc! I agree there is Terrier in there. How does the other dog like her? Good name too. Congrats!

Great shots everyone!!

Rose, Good to have you back!

Hey Robin. post over on the ID forum… your'e sure to get lots of experts there.

Thanks Pelle nice to be back and running!

Marna...I know there are Dee's around since I hear them in the trees when we walk the dogs but they are absent from the yard. I miss seeing them and can't understand why they come to eat.

Duc...Maggie looks a lot like my Madeline that I had for 14 years. Her mom was poodle mix and her dad was an Australian Silky Terrier. She was a fabulous dog.

Another long shot but here are two Northern Flickers and a Red-bellied Woodpecker. Looks like the RB has a grub worm.

Oh Rose, I want to be at your area!

Duc...your Maggie looks so cute.

Thanks for the compliment Rose. I have finally gotten over the fear of playing with settings on the camera. Problem is I can't always remember what worked well! lol

I really think we should all move to the farm.....^_^

Of course Cardinals are a dime a dozen here....

That's a pretty one nanny!

Cute dog, Duc. Any idea how old she is?

Ha...when I was taking that shot there were 3 other Flickers in the tree above my head!

Here is what I mentioned on the signs of spring thread http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1075690/ . The male Goldfinches are getting the yellow spots and the five o'clock shadow on their head. Or as my Mom would say "they're going through the ugly stage"!!

Nanny...I hear you about the settings...it is still hit and miss here too!! You are doing fine though and that is a nice shot of the Card.

Well, I have been elected to start the next thread and we area getting close to the cut off point so why don't I finish off this one and start the new one.

Here is s cedar waxwing from a few days ago

For anyone that may want to see a close up of those little red feathers, here you are...

Here is a male downy, probably wondering where the suet has gone.

Last one on this thread. I'll be back with a link once I start Vol 288. Here it is: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1076143/

Here is a house finch sunning himself in the 12 degree temperatures early yesterday morning.

Dellrose - Those Kingfishers are a real challenge. They might be the end of me trying to get the "perfect" capture of one. Good job on the image as well as the others posted.

Reddirt - Those are some bigtime photos. Great to see the gamebirds and the others.

Ducbucln - Very much a sweetheart, those eyes tell all. So great the you found each other.

You folks are killing me. Tons of great photos, a lot I want to comment on, here goes:

linthicum - what a cool Happy Valentine's Day post. Love the R-b Woodpecker in it.

reddirtretiree - I like the 3 Bobwhites, too. Nice pic. And that is a nice pic of the Red-shouldered hawk.

pelletory - I haven't seen a Grackle of any kind in a while. 20 of them, wow. I also liked the look of that handsome male Northern Cardinal.

misseymarie - I don't know about being on the young side, but that female R-b Woodpecker sure is pretty.

Burd_Fotos - thanks for sharing you shutter speeds. I like Av and M modes - maybe M mode more.

nanny_56 - your Dark-eyed Junco pic came out good I thought. Yep, those Carolina Chickadees are not long on one place.

Mrs_Ed - Congrats on your new Lifer - those Horned Larks.

jhowdy - "No really...be honest...does my butt look too big?" - I learned long ago to never answer a question like that - ever since I asked "Compared to what?" :-) Oh, and that pic of the two Blue Birds in the bushes is really nice.

Elphaba - Congrats, also, on your new Lifers - those ring-necked ducks in the background of your pic. And I have several Carolina Wren and Robins who visit regularly.

Resin - that Drake Eider is a looker. Nice capture

Lily_love - I think you and Dave have corned the market on Blue Birds. Nice pics.

gardenpom - that Red-Bellied Woodpecker is feisty, huh. Nice pics of it.

ducbucln - those Oak Titmouse are cool. Kinda look like my Tufted, but then again don't. And if I saw that Bewick's Wren, I'd mistake it for a Carolina. Congrats on your new addition, Maggie looks like a sweet pup, I can see some terrier, too. I'll bet she's smart.

dellrose - that Belted Kingfisher is a nice looking bird. Nice pic.

2dCousinDave - I also like the yellow tail tip on the Cedar Waxwing. And that male HOFIN has some nice color.

---------------------------

I took a few pics yesterday, but haven't worked them up yet. I be back later - tomorrow.

Hack

Went back on the thread & saw picture of 'Maggie' which did not appear last night. Very sweet & certainly some terrier in the mix. glad that she has such nice manners & that you could rescue her.

Lovely bird pictures all. I especially go for the woodpeckers.

Well, I'm back with only a few birds of the 15 different species I photographed yesterday. Here's 5 of them.

The tail is in focus, but the head isn't too good on this Brown-headed Nuthatch.

Hack

This Carolina Chickadee has a Black Oil Sunflower seed and is about to take it up to a limb and pound on it.

hack

Caught this Carolina Wren on one of rare occasions that it sat still for a spell.

I kind'a like those little Chipping Sparrows. I snapped this one while it was taking it easy.

Hack

And for my last one before I hit the sack, a Dark-eyed Junco just before she headed to the ground to feed.

Those a really nice Hack!! Like the Wren for sure!

Very nice pics Hack! Love the little Nuthatch!
