Last one, a Nashville Warbler. He came right down by the window, but the shade was just too thick. I like the white orchid tree blossom in the background though.
DAILY BIRD PICS VOL #415
Great action you caught there, Dave.
Beautiful birds there, Elphaba.
"28" parrot
Dave, Good shots of the Red-tailed Hawk and Crows!
Love the Baltimore Oriole Elphaba!
Margaret, Lovely shot of the 28!

That one must've pulled a big crowd of birders!
BirdFiles is short on good pics of this . . . http://davesgarden.com/guides/birdfiles/go/693/ ;-)

Added to the birdfiles Resin. I expected a lot more birder's than I seen but glad I was a part of it. I located it once and gave a little wave to the folk's there so they could get a chance to view/photo and add to their lists..everyone was cooperative with each other.

Nice when you can do that! And then watch the stampede as everyone comes over faster than they ever thought they could run ;-)
Thanks for adding them to BirdFiles!

Its funny ...he who finds bird has many friends, they stayed around my area hoping I would find it again once it flew down the beach. lol
here is a close-up did not have to zoom either.
how is THIS for a picture! I could feel the air off of her tiny wings.
Thanks for the wonderful start Mrs Ed-your redstart is beautiful.
I'm way behind again-so many wonderful birds-great job everyone.
Here's my newest and a lifer, a Warbling Vireo.
A line of Canada Geese flew by the other day.
My orioles all left last week, but this one appeared on its own. I do hope it will catch up with the others on their migration.
Had a pair of Bald Eagles fly past this morning but they wouldn't get close to each other for a photo.
Very cool teddy!!
Nice shots duc!
No new visitors to my feeders the past couple days. Just the usual ones - Jays and sparrows. I just wanted to pop in and tell you all how much I do enjoy all the beautiful photos !
I am kind of surprised that my pair of hummers have stayed as late as they have, they are usually gone by now(not that I am complaining).
I'm a bit disapointed, I had written a good list of comments on everyones pictures and lost it. Good job everyone.
I have lot of Black-capped Chickadees, and White-throated Sparrow, and Mourning Dove. But very little few other birds.

Can you get more pics of it? It would be interesting to find out which species it is, small numbers of Baltimore and Orchard Orioles turn up in California on autumn migration, and it could turn out to be one of those as much as Hooded or Bullock's. But tricky to identify in first-winter plumage. On what's visible here, Hooded and Orchard are the best fit, but it needs a view of the back to tell them apart.

I do believe the Hummingbirds are fattening themselves up for the trip south, we were outside and we had 7 at the same time,flying around us and drinking, one landed on my hubby's hand and I got several pictures of one eating out of the feeder that I had in my hand. Here is one.
Mrs. Cardinal discovered the sunflower seed feeder! Maybe she will tell Mr. Cardinal.
Congrats on the new Lifer duc!!
Nice shots teddy & Countrymom!
Hearing the Carolina Wrens a lot now. They sing when nobody else does! lol
I had a feeling I was being watched.....
Cardinal
Young male Cardinal busy getting berries!

The hummers still here will be leaving soon by the look of their little bellies....
Cute peeking shots nanny!
It amazes me to see their little tummies bulge and know they have to fly a very long distance before resting! I heard that they fly across the Gulf of Mexico without stopping, is that true?
Teddy, here is a little article with some information regarding fall migration of Ruby -throated Hummingbirds..
http://www.rubythroat.org/RTHUMigrationMain.html
Obviously there are not places for them to land int the middle of the Gulf of Mexico so they must fly over it without stopping.

'Nature' had a program on hummingbirds tonight.
Lovely shots, everyone. Duc, congratulations on your Warbling Vireo. What a little darling.
Kookaburras in the big eucalyptus in our yard late this afternoon.
Tail-less Kookaburra (it was the one on the left of the previous photo). The tail feathers have probably been pulled out by Red Wattlebirds. Kookaburras are never welcome when any other birds have bubs.
Resin, unfortunately my little oriole didn't stick around for more photos and I just kept my one photo. I checked our local Audubon check list and there's never been an Orchard oriole in our area, but it sure would have been an exciting find. I'll watch closer next year.
Teddy, I'm glad you're enjoying so many hummers.
Countrymom, hope Mr. cardinal will soon be enjoying the seeds at your feeder.
Nanny, your wren and cardinals are so cute. Love that chubby little hummer too.
Margaret, I love your kookaburras. Such beautiful little birds, even without a tail.
I've been enjoying about 40 bushtits in the bushes every morning. They're such busy little birds.
Burn, I forgot to tell you I loved your little chickie too!
The Red-winged Blackbirds are continuing to stay close to my Brewer Blackbirds.
Love the Kookaburra's Margaret!
Duc, Love that shot of the Bushtit!! What is the plant he is on? Wow 40 of them must be fun to watch!
Great pictures, everyone ! MargaretK - I do enjoy yours very much. We don't see birds like yours here in Ohio - lol !
Pelle, that plant is a dried garlic bloom in my neighbor's yard. All the birds have enjoyed hunting insects on them. You can bet I'll be adding them to my garden this month so they'll bloom next summer.
Not a bird, but the bucks are arriving for the rutting season now and this guy was just one of several. I'm assuming he was born here near our home because he is not a bit afraid of us or our dogs on the inside of the fence.
I thought this California Thrasher made a cute photo with the wildlife sign on our fence.
