Daily piccies vol 411

The bird is just gorgeous!

Back home, I spotted these pair of Eastern Towhees foraging on the ground this early morning.

I see what you mean about the Hummingbird on the wire, nanny. A bit of overkill, eh? The Phoebes that are still there - will they overwinter in your area or will they head off on migration, even though most of the others have already gone?

Lovely shots, Elphaba.

Congratulations on your lifers, Lily. That white Peacock needs to be careful around that crocodile.

"28" parrot.

Your colorful parrots are wonderful, Margaret. I was outside before work taking a few pics with my pocket camera when the Pileated Woodpecker pair showed up.

Thank you Margaret, love that parrot! gp, how thrilling to have a pair Pileated wps together. Look out Nan, here come gardenpom with hers. lol

Oh nice Elphaba & Lily!!

Congrats GP!! lol

Margaret, yes all the phoebes will migrate eventually....they have the sweetest little call!

We had 3 orioles here today...that was a bonus so sat outside and drank coffee and listened to them and watched them come eat jelly!

Perfect 28 shot Margaret! Just breathtaking!

GP, glad someone is giving Nanny a run for her woodpecker title! That's awesome.

Lily, congrats on the lifers and love that white peacock!

Here are the Red-Bellied pair on the same pole.

Great shots everyone!
Love that flight shot Margaret!

new meaning for the phrase bird on a wire. these hummers are very hard to get.

There are some amazing pics on this thread. Duc, that shot of the hummer grabbing the other's bill has got to be a contest winner somewhere.

Great shots guys!
Good pic of the hummingbird on the wire teddy!

A little later 2dCousinDave will be starting the new thread

Eastern Phoebe (I think) Taken from about 150 feet.

The female hummers have begun coming around. This one is resting on a seldom used part on the shepherd's hook.

OK A new thread has been started. Let's tie a knot in this one.
