Daily Bird Pics - Vol. 402

A few minutes later the male came and join his companion...

Two Mallards taking a leasure swim early this morning.

The 'famous walk' of the White-breasted Nuthatch. lol Coming down the tree head first.

Greta turkey shots tiger!! Have seen none around here in the last 3 years.

Lily....and a female towhee to boot!! I saw one last night when Gus & I went for a evening walk. Have been hearing a lot of "drink you tea" here tho!

Wow great shots everyone!

Duc, Congratulations on the Tree Swallows fledging! Their adorable!

**A little later Dellrose will be starting a new thread.**

Nanny, your oriole and wp are so cute!

Tiger wowsers on the turkey shots, I had no idea they fought like that.

Lily, hope you will soon be seeing little towhees. Cute photos.

Here's a good looking House Finch.

A Scrub Jay not liking the falling rain.

Here's the first juvenile oriole, also not enjoying the rain.

Thanks Nan. "Drink your tea' huh? How adorable is that? I'm not very keen yet on birds' songs. I'm accustomed to Phoebe's Wrens and cardinals' singing. Other than that I'm pretty lost. Duc, wouldn't it be something to watch (babies Towhees) in which I've not yet seen before. It's amazing the zonal differences. Here in the 7b East, I'd be so lucky to see Oriole passing through. And you have Orioles nesting out West. I so love to return to California someday soon in the near future.

Mallard drake and his Missus;

Oooops, sorry repeated post! (as above). The couple this afternoon;

Pekin drakes, either that or a 'childless couple'. For years now, I've not seen any pekin's ducklings. I do know we've two residential pairs that live here locally.

The pair at close up;

Lily those last shots are sure refreshing looking, especially with the heat wave we are experiencing.

Well...time for a new thread and I will be back with a link to it
