DAILY PICS VOLUME 307

We posted at the same time Mrs Ed, cute picture of your chicadee.

Here's a pretty White-crowned Sparrow.

And a Tree Swallow.

Met ....Nice pics of the Osprey. I haven't seen any here this year yet. I may have missed them.

Mrs. Ed..that is a good shot!

duc...all your photos are so pretty1

A few more from yesterday. This Cardinal had a wild do going with the wind!

Female Downy Woodpecker first up at the suet feeder.

The Pileated Woodpecker was by on Sunday morning!

Best shot that I got of a Myrtle Warbler...(have to get used to that!)

Great clear shot Duc. Thanks for the invitation by the way. One of these days I hopefully will visit the big State of Ca. Nice shots there Nan. LOL about your Myrtle. I read up on them lovelies birds, and I NOW understand why some of us lovingly refer to them as "Butter Butt". lol,lol.

Lily, I have a thought (oh dangerous) Lets stop at Rose's farm first for a day or so then fly on out to Duc's!! Love that shot of your Heron!!!

Met, Awesome shots of the Osprey! I especially love the first one.

Duc, Great shots of the Orioles, Sparrow and beautiful Tree Swallows!!

Mrs Ed, Thats a wonderful shot of the Chickadee with the feeder cam!!

Nanny, Nice job!! So good to see the Pileated! Cute shot of the Myrtle Warbler exiting.

You guys stop here and I will go with you to Ducs...I owe my family a visit this year!

Here's a cute little Goldfinch...from last week.

Rose, what a beautiful picture of your goldfinch. You're welcome to come with the others too!

Nanny, how lucky you are to see that Pileated!! Great shots of the Downy and Warbler too. Love the "do" on the cardinal.

Such a sweet pic Rose!

Hah, be careful what we wished for! LOL, before we know it. We may as well have a DG's birding group getogether call Birders Round Up. Then we, Pelle, I and Marna, Nan and other .....(fill in your name on the blank) will go meet at Rose's farm then detour to Ca. to visit with Duc. lol. Wouldn't that be nice? BTW, We gotta go to Cape May in NJ too, then drop by Maryland and visit with Linth and Meth. We may as well cover all the States from Main down to Alabama oh, don't forget Alaska where it's beautiful there so I've heard (but never have been). lol

Our resident Mallards pair. Hopefully these couple has a nest somewhere nearby here.

It is so nice that we even though we are spread from one coast to the other we can come here and share with each other!

I still get excited and and feel such a thrill whenthe Pileated shows up! I do feel very lucky that I get to see it on a regular basis!

Grackle and a Red-winged Blackbird at the dish. They are not happy that I have taken the dishes away. The jays are still protesting in the mornings, calling and crying for their peanuts...just like little kids!

Nice shots Nanny and Lily!!

A Birders Round Up?? That would be nice wouldn't it?

Great thread guys....moving at top speed! I forgot I had this pic in my pocket camera. I had stopped at that red light and across the road high up in the tree is that Great Blue Heron nest. Seems she has two babies now. Long zoom shot, but you get the idea.

Yes, just an idea; birders RU. lol. GP congrats on the Heron's nest with the chicks. Wooohoooo! Happy for you.

That is neat GP!

Cool!

dellrose, congrats on the babies! Hopefully, my bluebirds will hatch next weekend.

Burd, awesome Ruby-crowned Kinglet!

duc, looks like you are covered up. I am envious.

Here's a Bluejay who likes to cram one peanut down his throat, then pick up another one and fly away. Looks painful.

Here's a chipping Chipping Sparrow and a female Cardinal.

Cedar Waxwing.

I'm pleasantly surprise to still have around the Harris' Sparrows, Spotted Towhees and Cedar Waxwings. I haven't seen any Goldfinches in a week or so, but there are a lot of Pine Siskins. Last year I had Goldfinches until late April; hopefully, there are still a few around. I haven't gotten to take any breeding plumage photos yet.

Nice shots everyone!! Another quick visit to Sheldon's Marsh before work.

Myrtle Warbler

Definitely my best shot of a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher so far...

another lifer...Northern Rough-winged Swallow

one more of the N.R-w S

Have a pair of Yellow-bellied Sapsucker's hanging around in the yard/neighborhood. This is what Ive got so far for shots...

last shot for tonight...Y-b Ss

Hi Missy, I like the way you caught the Jay and Sparrow in mid motion! Nice pics!

Burd, Great job! Nice and close on the Northern Rough-winged Swallow and good to see the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker!!

From the day before yesterday here is a White-throated Sparrow.

A Mourning Dove from yesterday.

Lastly a Blue Jay

Nice shots, Pelle. Glad to see you getting out with your camera.

Missy...I like your sparrow shot too!

Burd...outstanding shots!

Pelle..so nice you have time to post! I miss the WT Sparrows.


Look real hard...The pair of Blue Birds from down the road!

The male is not quite as shy as the female....

Last for now...going for my walk. The Cardinals are always up for a few shots!

I'm game...sign me up. Duc you've captured some nice shots of the Tree Swallow...how do you get so close?

Nice shots everyone. I just can't keep up with these threads anymore they go so quickly.

Hey, weren't all us gals going to rent a house at the cape? LOL. As I recall I was sleeping on the porch in a hammock.

First of season Eastern Towhee today!

Nice Mrs. Ed... I am Hearing the 'drink your tea all over the place today! My batteries went dead on my walk(both cameras too!)....so having to recharge right now

I just love having the robins here all day long to watch!

Nice ones nanny!

Nice to see the Towhee Mrs Ed. Yes your right about the Cape. :-)

The end of March in E WA. The pan full of goldfinches where they are not totally in their spring colors.
