Our last thread was really great, if you wish to go back to it, follow this link. http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1108213/
I've been sitting by the ponds, to try to get new shots for this thread. So here's what I got from that.
I will post some later, when it's safer to be on here.

Oh my goodness! That is beautiful!
Nice thread start.
Cape sugerbird (female I think) Male has much longer tail. Amazing pic Burd
Sombre Greenbul ... this olive colour bird just becomes of the forest and bushy areas where you find them.
Rock Kestrel
He caught something, but was higher than me, still made for a nice pic!
Black-collared Barbet, not great pic...but hey, I try!
I wish I could comment on everyone's pix but it would take up an entire thread ;o) Needless to say, they are all fantastic! I especially love to the see the birds that we do not have around here...
Cape Batis in the forest
This is the area, just outside PE...lots of natural forest still. It was a great day.
Another pic
Interesting birds, little things. that tail looks long enough to me ☺☺
Thank you Burn for a great start to a new thread. I'm with duckmother, really fascinated with all the birds from your region Little_Things. Great Egret hunting.
Burn......beautiful photo to open the new thread!
Rian, I am really enjoying all your exotic looking birds!
Downy Woodpecker
White-breasted Nuthatch getting suet at the base of the tree!
Back at the pond, a female Redstart Warbler was displaying her beautiful tail.
Beautiful Redstart!!
This is my last one....
Eastern Phoebe came out for me!!
Thanks everyone.
Little thing, love looking at your birds.
Lily, being close to the water,brings out birds we don't see here, like your Egret
Very nice Nanny, wish I had the Nuthatch. climbing down my trees. And of course the Bluebird.
A Goldfinch waiting to go to the feeder, because I was to close to it, for it's liking.
Chipping Sparrow, perched on the popular drift wood.
Now it's the Robin's turn.
The Chickadees loves the bird house also, but won't use it for nesting. ;)
This is one of 3 fledglings, that come play around the pond.

Burn... what a gorgeous photo to start the thread with! Wow!
Little Things... love all the photos you share with us! So different from what I am used to seeing! That barbet is gorgeous!
Lily... I can never get over the view from your home!
Nanny... I love your White-breasted Nuthatch and Bluebird!
The little Green Herons aren't so little now... though I can never get all five in one shot, they are all doing well and about to fledge.
Branching out...
Watching you watching me...
Wow this thread took off like a rocket!!
Great job Burn! Love the Cedar Waxwing!! thanks for starting the new thread!
Rian, So many great birds! I love the Cape Batis, Barbet and Greenbul along with the others.
Lily, Beautiful scene!
Nanny, So many nice ones. Love the Phoebe and Bluebird!
Burn, Wish I had that chipping sparrow around.
VA, Those little fuzzheads are so adorable!!! Thanks for more photos of them!

Thanks Wild Rose on your compliment. I am so entralled with those juvenile green herons. What nice view! Let's swap view for a day. Burn love that Redstart Warbler displaying her/his pretty tail feathers.
Wow! Great pictures. Love seeing all of the birds I would otherwise never get to see.
Love the "Watching you, watching me" shot! Fuzzy head!
Wow Burn...what a beautiful start with that Waxwing...doesn't get much better than that! Your other shots are lovely as well, thanks for the new thread.
Nice to see everyone's feathered friends, love the birds from Africa and those Green Herons are adorable. I agree with GG, great to see birds I would never get to see!
Thanks for all the contributions!
Good grief, Pelle was not kidding about this thread taking off like a rocket!
Awesome photos everyone.
I'm happy to report I found a small flock of Bushtits just outside our garden the other day.
Anyone who has ever tried to photograph these little ones knows how fast they move.
Here's a young oriole checking out a juvenile Brown headed Cowbird.
This juvenile Brown headed Cowbird just sat and watched the other birds going back and forth.
So many babies around. Here's one of our many (unfortunately) juvenile House Sparrows.
Those Bushtits are so cute Duc and that shot of the Oriole and Cowbird is priceless. Great shooting as always!
I keep waiting for the juvie Doves to show up but so far we just have the adults.
The bird baths are being worked overtime....I fill them several times a day. Here is a Red-winged Blackbird cooling off!
Wonderful shots duc! I love the Bushtits!
Rose, That Red-winged Blackbird looks so happy!
Great photos Rose. We're still not seeing any dove babies either. I just hope someone here has some so I know what they look like. Love that Red-winged. I'm filling our baths several times too. The sun sure warms up the water fast.
Glad everyone loved the Waxwing. I have few other shots of it, that I will share with you all.
I apologize for the poor photo, but there wasn't great light and it's been super cropped; however, it's a lifer for me, so I wanted to post it.
I saw this White-eyed Vireo at Fort Parker State Park, near Mexia, Texas, last Sunday.
