Hope you'll all go to our last thread and enjoy the great photos. Here's where we came from:
http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1144310/

Thought I'd start us off with some birds and berry photos. Here's a House Finch.

Here's a Dark-eyed Junco.

An Oak Titmouse.

And a White-crowned Sparrow.

Wow Duc, you sure have a great variety of Christmas Card photos there.

I agree with Mrs_Ed, you do have some pretty pictures that you could put on Christmas cards, it sure beats what the commercial ones put out, because yours is in nature, yours is not something someone made up, yours is God-given for all of us to enjoy and it is free, you don't have to pay to see it. Just slow down and take a look, they are everywhere for all to see and enjoy.

The berries really sets out the birds in your shots, just gorgeous Duc. love the Egrets on the previous thread.
Margaret, lovely Pelican shots. and always enjoy the Kookaburra.

Had another visit from the Evening Grosbeak today. A handsome male.

A group together.

A female sitting pretty on a branch.

The Bohemian Waxwings were here too but stayed up in the neighbor's tree.
The Hairy woodpecker, was in the front yard, on the crabapple tree.

Gorgeous start duc!! I really like the junco!

YAY......burn has E. Grosbeaks!!! I just love those ....On my someday wish list to see!!!

The Brown Creeper has been here frequently this week!

The best I got of a Dark-eyed junco this week.....not so pretty! lol

Tufted Titmouse...took about a dozen shots to get this one!! lol

Last one for me...Blue Jay on the suet.

Everyone stay safe with the bad weather coming thru tonight & tomorrow.

Yeah I love it when the EG comes visit, it make my day. Nice to see the Junco again mine are MIA. You did great on the Tufted Titmouse, it's a pretty little thing.

Wonderful start duc. love your berry pix.

Margaret, it was a pleasure seeing your pix from down under.

Hey, burn, your Evening Grosbeaks were spectacular.

nanny, - a dozen snaps to get your Tufted Titmouse - I know what you mean,

One of my most common birds. Cardinals, here a gal.

Guy Cardinal

Another common visitor, now - Chipping Sparrow

Got lots of House Finches, here's a gal.

HOFIN - guy. I'm still, looking for the yellow variant.

Here's one of those "don't sit still long" Tufted Titmice.

It's not unusual for me to see a White-throated Sparrow sifting through the leaves for seed spillage from above.

My last one tonight.

Here's one of my new arrivals. A Pine Warbler.

Juncos have been appearing this last week.

Great start to the new thread Duc...and Reddirt...nice start to the last thread also.
Duc your Junco on the last thread is stunning...love the berry shots also!

Thanks for starting the new thread duc! Love all your berry pics!

Burn, I adore those Evening Grosbeaks!!!

Nanny, Love the Brown Creeper!

Nice variety Hack! Love the Carolina Wren.

Burd, Lovely shot of the female Red-bellied Woodpecker!

Those berries make great pics, duc. I have a Nandina that is covered with red berries, but never see any birds on it.

A couple of Mourning Doves in my kale.

The male Downy has finally ventured up from the creek. The Red-bellied hasn't shown up yet.

I currently have about 15 GF's that visit a few times daily, but this little fella stays in the yard near the feeders. I think he is the same bird that did this last winter.

I refilled the finch feeders and put fresh suet in all the feeders in anticipation of the of the weather coming. Will get to the safflower feeder today and top it off. We are only supposed to get 2-4 inches of snow but the winds are predicted to pick up to 35-40 mph.

Wow, how this thread is moving at an exellerated pace! I can't hardly keep up. Thank you Duc for the new start with beautiful birds highlighted among festive colored berries. I love those (and just about every single one of others, lol). The trio water birds you posted on the last thread was so cool. Margaret, the Wattlebird is one currious bird! The Pillicans are so beautiful and unusual looking as well. Hack, I am glad you've a many number birds that I've seen in the neighborhood, so when I can't capture their pics. I can alway rely on yours. Awww, new toys added to your hobby before Santa even arrive? Enjoy the new lens. Rose, I always longed for more of your photos, thank you for sharing. Burd, and Burn, whoa! Love your pics. and love love to see some of the birds that you've in your regions that I don't get to see down South. Those Evening Grosbeaks is wayyyy cool.

Mallards group stopping by for a break, preening and pampering themselves before the next 'fishing trip'.

Burn, love those grosbeaks! Great shot of the wp too. Hope you'll get some pics of the waxwings soon.

Nanny, love your little creeper and titmouse.

Hack, great job with all those cute birds. Keep watching for the orange-variant. I read that the color of the fruit they eat determines the red or yellow-orange coloring. That makes sense because our berries just recently turned red. That Pine Warbler is just beautiful. What a great assortment of birds-enjoy them.

Burd, I love what you and Teddy wrote about nature and enjoying it-maybe I'm too sentimental about wildlife, but it's good to know there are people here on this board that feel the same way we do. The more we talk about our birds, the more people become aware of them. Your wp photo is gorgeous!

Red, I have several Nandinas with berries covering them and my birds don't touch them either. Last year when all the other berries were gone, I noticed the mockingbirds finally started eating them. Great shot of the doves, wp and goldfinch.

Lily, cute photo of your Mallards. Are you still seeing the coots too? They seem to be all over here.

I got this Dark-eyed Junco through the window.

This Black Phoebe was so dark in the fog off the lake.

Here's one of the Cedar Waxwings.

A California Towhee.

This Bewick's Wren just wouldn't sit still for my picture.

Yes, the Coots arrived here in early winter, and stay for the duration (until early spring), then I'll miss their present for they're so much fun to watch. Here is one odd couple (female Mallard duck and American Coot) I spotted a day or so ago. Duc, the Black Phoebe is cute, every time I saw one, it reminds me of my very first visit to California recently. Your Towhee and the Wrens are slightly different than our Eastern species, just as I try to compare your Oak Titmouse to our Tufted Titmouse, I love them all.

Nan, I meant to tell you I'd love to see one of those tiny Brown Creepers one of these days. Margaret, if I ever make it to Australia, I'd love to see the Kukoobura and other wildlife there.
