Daily Bird Pics - Vol. 402

Here's a pair of California Quail.

One of the Tree Swallows bringing food to the little ones.

This pair of Tree Swallows just have had a hard time with the House Sparrows. They've picked another house, but a sparrow still is trying to chase them off.

Aww that is such a shame about the Oriole. I hope he improves. Lovely pics duc!

Adorable Thrasher Met!!

Female Baltimore Oriole.....

Nice one nanny!

Wild Rose what a great job you did with the Osprey dive!!!
Pelle and Red , those babies are so adorable. I love the Killdeer shots.
I enjoyed everyone's contribution to this thread.

I too have enjoyed this thread immensely. Thanks all. Happy memorial holiday everyone.

Yellow Warbler was kind enough to sit a moment today.

Another shot.

The female Yellow Warbler.

Wilson's Warbler

And the hummer (Rufous) that finally sat out in the open in front of me.

Oops!

Calif. Quail

Spotted Towhee

Our large female Pileated Woodpecker stopped in a bit ago. It was nice to see her because it has been a long time since she has been by! Hope she will be bringing young ones by soon!!

Her at the suet along with a female Red-bellied Woodpecker who is enjoying some orange!

Nanny; Queen of the woodpeckers! Love that last shot with the two together.

Wonderful bird shots!!

Wonderful pictures everyone. Wow, this thread is smokin'!! I still have a major population of Grackle hogs!!

One of the mockingbird eggs hatched just before dark. I took a few shots of Daddy in the evening light.

Even with the rain it was very birdy here the last couple days. Here's a a shot of the Yellow Warbler.

The Wilson's works hard for a living! He's the busiest bird I've ever seen.

Wowee, Tiger. You've been busy. Fantastic variety of birds and I love the lichens on the tree branches.

Nice Pileated, Nanny.

Wow that is a great variety tiger! Love the Acorn Woodpecker and all the others!

tigerlily, you've added many a pleasure to the thread. Adel, love all your birds and Duc's too from out in Ca. Al. thank you for the series on the Brown Thrashers and baby. Those pics. are great.

Duc, here in a BCN Heron in its breeding plumage. :) (the what I called 'poneytail' isn't visible here).

Nanny, love your female oriole. I love your pileated, she's beautiful.

Lily, that pier with the heron looks so inviting. Beautiful Blk-crowned too! Hope you get to see the little ones! I'm hoping to find some here on our lake soon.

Tiger, love all the warbler photos. Cute hummer too.

Adel, great pictures, especially of the grosbeak.

Granny, sorry about the grackles.

Red, love that dad bb shot.

Tiger, loved seeing all your birds too.

We're seeing this Bald Eagle every day as he flies down to his usual tree.

It surprised me with a total flip as it flew out over the lake.

Been a mixture of good and bad here. First our first house of 4 Tree Swallows fledged yesterday, but we worried about them all night. They first spent almost 2 hours out on the deck trying to clean and dry themselves. Here's the first one to leap.

Guess I could have added a photo-sorry.

Another one. We think the smallest one is the only one that ended up standing all night in our neighbor's yard. We found it in the exact spot this morning at 5:30 and you wouldn't believe how relieved we were when mom and dad came to feed it and finally get it to fly off. We missed that part, but we were certain it wasn't in the garden later on.
