Daily pix #290

It's another early spring for us. My mini daffodils are always one of the first to bloom. Thinking of all of you in the cold snow.

Oh Duc, I so wanted all the birds and the climate too where you're. Not to rub it in, but we too have Daffs. blooming down here. Temp. is warming up down here, reaching a balmy 67 degrees Farenheit today. The water is still, DH will take me out for a boat ride and birds sighting in a little while. Will share more pix. later. Have a blessed day everyone.

Resident Sky Carp taking to the air.

Love that taking-off flight shot, Red.

Lily, I wish they would fly to your house so you could enjoy them all the time! :-) Resident geese are a tremendous nuisance. The pair that located a pile of grain l placed in the snow for doves and juncos have been back in my yard every day for a week since. I probably ran them off 6 times yesterday.

Geese a nuisance here as well. some gold courses rent border collies to keep them off so golfers don't have to deal with all the muck.

I haven't had any cardinals in the yard for awhile. A pair showed up this a.m. Hope they put me on their daily itinerary.

Looks like I should have focused on one bird or the other instead of in between them. Another of the male cardinal and a junco.

House finches on the new feeder in the back yard.

Here is a Kestrel from this morning. For a bird I see almost everyday, I still don't have a great shot of one. They don't like to pose.

Here is a second shot.

I can relate to the possible nuisance the Northern Sky Carps could cause. They do look great from afar, however. Iris, I understand completely about your feeling on my unknown bird that Stretches between the feeders (above). LOL. They're so industrious that I thought they deserve some merit. LOL

Here is a great Blue Heron by the Dam in our area last Friday.

Chris the Kestrel underside feather is pretty!

I think kestrals are good, just not the geese. I don't think that we have kestrals here, at least I have not seen them, mainly hawks.

I haven't been able to post much in the last few thread, and have not been able to comment much on your post. Thanks all, for sharing your wonderful photos, and making this forum so enjoyable.
I would like, to invite everyone to the new thread, that I've been asked to start.
