Deanna, Those are wonderful shots of the Nuthatch and Tufted Titmouse on your (very cool) feeder!

GP, Love the Red-bellied Woodpecker and Mockingbird. Nice shots!

Nice catch on that Grackle Mrs. Ed...thanks for the new thread.

No picture taking here in the Ozarks...winter is having a hard time letting go!

Welcome to the forum Deanna and congrats on your new home and birds. Love that feeder...I've never seen one before. Where did you buy it?

I just looked through the pics on this thread again...well done everyone and I it is nice to see those sunny blue skies some of you are experiencing.

Uh oh.....I don't remember what I WON"T do anymore...LOL!!!!! I hate when that happens...^_^

Hi Deanna... Glad to have you join us here! I agree with pelle...very cool feeder, where did you get it? I am always on the hunt for a new feeder! lol

This Blue Jay just posed so pretty for me!

and this Grackle lookes so pretty too!

A pair of House Finch....

Nice pics nanny!

I like your new feeder. Is it squirrel resistant? Where did you get it?

Okay I found Deanna's feeder. I knew I had seen it and a few others in that style before.

Is it fairly easy to clean? I don't think it's squirrel resistant. Wow holds 12 pounds of birds seed!

Welcome to the forum Deanna!

[/quote]Mrs_Ed... love your Grackle! Was he giving you the "what for"?[/quote]

Actually, that grackle was NOT really griping at me. He was just sort of making some squawking noises.

Thanks Marna for the new thread, nice opening. Your FOS Robin is handsome. He/she needs re-fuel after the migration trip? Oh yes Spring is sprung! Though, they're (Robins) permanent residents down here.

Knip. your chaffinch is the cutish!

Nan, love your pics. I saw a pair of House finches with the male feeding the female and whispering 'sweet nothing' to her the other day. ^_^

Welcome deannaj, it's a joy to see our birds didn't reject our new feeders that we've put up. Warm welcome to our forum.

Oh, I need to borrow Dave's camera and lenses to capture a better pic. of this Bald Eagle who's busy building a nest here. DH brought our Cannon T50 out, but we need to get some new film for it. Can't wait.

Thanks for that link Pelle, such a cute feeder and larger than I thought.

Lily...how lucky you are to be able to see that nest...wow is all I can say! How close is it to your paradise home?

Hi Rose, it's a few miles away. It's near a small country Church. And yes, it's delightful sight. Can you make out the sillouette (spelling?) of the magnificent bird? I was so thrilled my hands were shaking at the sight of the eagle!

Yes Lily...I can see the nest and the silhouette...very cool to have it so close to home!! You are in such a great location it just makes me drool!

GP, so glad that eagle circled around for more photos. I think your Black Vultures are cuter than our red-headed Turkey Vultures. Been a long time since I've seen a flock of pigeons-great job. Fantastic photo of the robin!! Love the grackle peeking at you. So many great birds and photos!

Deanna, love that feeder. Looks like your birds do to. Welcome and hope you'll share more pictures with us.

Nanny, love all your pictures, especially the grackle.

Pelle, thanks for the info on the feeder. I'll have to check into that.

One of my female Brewers Blackbirds.

Lily, sorry, I missed your picture. You have no idea how lucky you are to find that nest. I wouldn't tell too many people you found it.

A Dark eyed Junco looking sweet.

This junco was enjoying the rain water and cleaning its face.

It even turned around for a photo.

A sweet Tree Swallow.

Wish the lighting had been better for this one of a Tree Swallow.

A cute Bewick's Wren.

Thanks Duc. and Rose, it's your places that I'd love to trade for mine for opportunity to see all the cool birds. We need to get together and trade places with MargaretK--also. Here is my most love 'snow bird'. She's still around, and yes temp. outside is still cool for this bird to want to return up North. lol. My one and only Baltimore Oriole;

Love that scene Lily!

Duc, Excellent shots especially of the first Tree Swallow!

So glad your Oriole is still around Lily.

Thanks Pelle, love that Oriole, she must love shelled peanuts. She would come to the feeder. Picks one out, and flew up to a tree's branch to devour the nut. Here is a Blue Heron wading knee-deep water for breakfast when I returned home. :-)

...Brown Thrasher turning its back to me.

Nice pics from everyone. I LOVE the tree swallows....mainly because the only time I see them is high in the air flying so fast you can't get any pics.

Really nice Duc and Lily and I agree those Tree Swallows are stunners! Lily, that Brown Thrasher cracks me up on that stop sign!!

One of our neighbors has buffalo and I noticed there was a pair of Canada Geese with them. Dark today so a crummy shot but as they say a picture is worth a thousand words!

Oh mine, oh mine! The Geese aren't one bit afraid of the big boar! They seem to get along fine! Cool Rose!

It was cool seeing them not interact...the geese finally just took a snooze!

The skies were not as busy as yesterday. I did see an Osprey and this Wood Stork.
