DAILY BIRD PICS VOL. 396

4 days is not very long teddy...the storms may have effected their travel. Mine just showed up 2 days ago....and only 1 that I can tell so far.

Boy have I had Blue Jays the 3 days!!

Somebody is out of sequence here......lol

This morning at one point I had 14 of them out in back here..... YIKES!!!!!!!

We're having bad storms here right now, I'm going to go offline quickly.

Nanny, congratulations on the grosbeak arrivals. Hope you'll see the fledglings soon. Wow, the jays sure know where to find the food-they're beautiful. I guess that means they are picking partners and you'll be seeing little ones soon.

Lily, that baby finch is a cutie. Sweet capture of your geese.

Red, if you pull the yellow centers from your hummer feeders, the orioles will surely stick around longer. He's a handsome guy. I do love your hummer and the doves.

Burn, glad the osprey are in the nest. Glad you're still seeing the Redpolls.

Teddy, I agree with Nanny, keep that sugar water fresh. Being close to the other feeder won't bother them.

I'm praying that none of you are in any danger from the tornadoes-stay safe.
Here's a visiting Bushtit.

I found these goslings at a local park.

Think this is a pair of House Finches enjoying the water.

We have had some doozy storms lately, last night it was the wind, it was really howling! I guess I am too anxious, I want the little jewels back so I can enjoy them.

This Bullock's Oriole was waiting for a chance to get in the birdbath. The minute we set up the solar fountains, they didn't hesitate to take advantage.

cute little Bushtit!

NANNY! You had a blue jay party and didn't invite us? What a racket THAT must have been.

So… these two were doing all kinds of dove smooching. I got some video of it. I'll have to process it and see how it looks.

Here's a Golden-crowned Sparrow in a bath.

Very nice pics duc!

I have never seen the doves smooch..in fact the males I have seen seem rather mean!

Okay....I am off to start the new thread ...will be back with link shortly!


The new thread is ready and waiting for all your great pics here
