Daily Bird Pictures, Vol. 346

I don't know if Ruby-throated Hummers are "smart" or not, but this girl did had the good sense to get out of the rain. She's sitting on a coat hanger I hung from the ceiling of my porch.

Duc, I have no idea what that plant is. It grows wild all along the road here mixed in the brush.

Gp nice thrasher! I saw one the other day but it saw me too...so no pic!

LOL @ your cardinal Hack!! And very smart hummer!

I had a Black-chinned hummer mixed in with all the Rubys today. This photo is the only one that you can see the color in his gorget.

Hey, missy, I'm wondering - could that be a male R-t hummer?. Around here their red necks/chins are so dark that they often appear to be black - but when the sun hits them just right, its a real pretty red.

Smart girl Hack!

Looks purple to me on Missy's bird.

Nice shots everyone!! Most of my shots have been coming from (out in the field)...now that hummers are gone I have the feed station set-up for fall/winter for my birds in the backyard. Nice to report I am getting returning birds from last fall/winter. First up is Brown Creeper had 2 all last winter. Lots of clouds today and the sun broke through at times...kept the ISO at 1600 for most the time.

This thread will be nearly over after the pics I have to post.
An American Robin showed up for a drink.

my Black-capped Chickadee's are here now.

The Goldfinch's stop by daily...

White-breasted Nuthatches are here year round.

Lastly have a couple of Blue Jay shots...it was rare for one to show here...I now have 4 and there thugs.lol

Had a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker flying through the feed area several times (he was doing recon) lol....hope he sticks around, also had a Red-eyed Vireo...who was trying to get a drink from the birdbath...I missed a great shot.
Waiting for the Junco's and Red-breasted Nuthatches to show up...Elvis where are you?
