Daily pics #335

There must be something interesting in the succulents because the Towhees are also in the same area.

eeek too cute!!! I need some of those cuties. please send them over here!


I often see the house finches taking sips from water collected on my succulents. I guess a big pond isn't good enough for them! LOL.

That's a wonderful shot of the crow and the squirrel, nanny.

Silvereye.

Silvereye 2. There's a flock of them in the area around the osprey nest and they love the pepper corns on these trees that grow on the embankment

WOW! That is SOME silvery eye ring!

I was having a really bad focus day, but thought you'd like to see these two canoodling Little Corellas.

The tree was full of these fun loving birds whose underparts are either covered in mud or stained from having been digging in the wet ground.

Love the Silvereye and the funny Corellas!

The Corellas sorta like children playing, and loving with no care in the world! How precious Margaret. Adel wow those Whitetailed Kites are awesome! Nan nice variety, Duc, your Oak TM are so so cute, and the Western Towhee.

Downy at the grain feeder.

Wonderful pictures all. Love those Little Corellas. So cool! Not a care in this world.

Margaret, the Silvereye photos are just fabulous. They sure are properly named. The Corellas are just the sweetest looking birds. Gee, maybe we should do a house swap!

Lily, you and the others are lucky to see the wps at your feeders. The Downy is adorable.

Here's a cute Scrub Jay.

This Bullock's Oriole was searching for bugs.

Oh those corellas are adorable!! I have to say I have been watching House Hunters Austrailia Week.....man it is expensive to live there! So far they have featured Melbourne (sp?) and the Great Barrier Island north of New Zealand. Very interesting tho!

Very cute Scrub Jay duc!!

Robin with a 'do' going!

When I was taking these photos I reall thought they were swallows. However, upon viewing on the computer, I saw that they were Purple Martins instead! lol

I have no idea how many were up there..alot! This is down by the boat dock just down the road by my house.

cute couple...

"could you please stop that!!" lol

Nice ones Lily,Duc and Nanny!

Beautiful Scrub Jay, duc.

Nanny, what a lovely series of the sweet little Martins.

This Brown Goshawk is the scourge of the neighbourhood.

One of several Little Corellas that turn up a couple of times a day for a snack.

Nanny, cute Robin photo. Great job on the Purple Martin pictures-they're as cute as the swallows.

Margaret, great job on the Goshawk and the beautiful Corella.

Here's one of our Bald Eagles doing a quick fly-by.

He/she did a quick turn and went back the other way. Guess it couldn't find any fish.

Wonderful shots of the Goshawk and Corella Margaret!

Duc, Great flight shots of the Eagle!

Nan, lol at that "Could you stop that!" lol Margaret the goshawk maybe an equivalent of our Kestrel over here maybe? The Bald Eagle is grand looking! Nice job Duc.

Great Blue Heron;

Oh my ...that goshawk is BEAUTIFUL Margaret!!

Fantasitic eagle shots duc....I just can't imagine seeing one almost everyday!

Lily...jealous of you great heron shot....just can't seem to get a good one yet of one!

This little House Wren has been coming over the last few day and hunting for bugs in my flower bed!

up in my birch tree waiting to come down....

The Wrens are so cute, Nan. The GBHs they're getting bold having being around people and boaters here, thus catching them being still is easy. It's the Green Herons that I have yet gotten close, they're pretty elusive.

I once again found Lord Byron (AKA Redheaded Woodpecker) on his 'castle' since I noticed the Northern Flickers around his humble abode...this past week.

If I may... I like to clarify myself. From my viewpoint; the dead tree is humble- a- place to live in. But, seeing the happy couple; their home is indeed a castle to the happy couple.

Mrs. Byron is directly below her mate. The two were happily chatting wih one another this early morning. I was delighted to have heard their familiar vocalization when I went outside this morning....so I ran back inside for the camera.

Lily_love, the Mrs. might appreciate the title of Lady Byron:)

Here's my EBB tribe yesterday.

Lily, another great picture of your Blue Heron. Hope the flickers are still around close. It is only fair that the Byron family get that tree.

Nanny, your little House Wren is so sweet.

Missy, sweet bb babies.

Beahive, wonderful photo of your little hummer.

Hugger, love your little wren! Hope your turkeys survive the coyotes.

This Brewers Blackbird seem to be watching something interesting.
