Amethyst Sunbird (Male), I only got a pic of the female (earlier in this thread), This is the male on an Aloe africana flower.

The male has a metalic purple spot, but with various light reflection angles, it can vary to pinkish red, and you can even see some green reflection on the forehead. The male is mostly "sooty black" however. Special little beauti!

This Blue Jay visited the day before yesterday.

Nanny, that's a cute Baltimore Oriole juvie. How lucky you are to even see the Pileated. Cute Chipping Sparrow too. Next time take the camera when you go out at night! Congrats on all those owls-wowsers!

Hack, great job with all your pictures. I love that finch with the bit of orange on the front. That juvie catbird is adorable!

Lily, that red-head is sure a beauty.

Iris, lol. Bet it returns soon!

Adel, there's nothing sweeter than seeing the babies in the houses.

Gazer, adorable Pileated! I'm so jealous!

Burn, glad to see you back. What a bright and cheerful welcoming committee you have with the goldfinch.

Joan, I'd want that one on the wall too! Great job.

Littlethings, that sunbird is absolutely gorgeous!

This juvie Brown-headed Cowbird has been following a juvie Oriole for a few days now so I'm thinking that they were raised together by mama Oriole. It was funny when the Oriole went to the sugar-water feeder to drink and the Cowbird tried to do the same thing but couldn't get anything-or didn't like it.

My juvie Scrub Jays are so homely and so cute at the same time.

This young Tree Swallow was trying to cool off in the hot 100 plus temps.

I did manage to get 1 shot thru the window of one owl that was in our tree. It was after I got this one that our neighbor came to tell us there were more out front!!

I will post it in a bit!

I tried to get some more. But I haven't played with this one out at night much so I just couldn't get squat!! lol
