Daily Bird Pics #425

From last week...This Cooper's Hawk kept going all around and into these shrubs looking for a meal. It was rather amusing to watch! It ended up leaving empty handed as it were. Later occurred to me I should have put the camera on video! lol

Brown Creeper....

Nice pix everyone. Margaret, it's so nice to see birds that are in their breeding season from down under. Nan, the Brown creeper is in my wish list. Hope all my friends here all have had a wonderful Christmas.

Chilly, it sounds like you had a good time seeing all the birds anyway. I tried taking photos through our car windows too and ended up dumping all of them. Sorry, but at least you can still see the hawk for identification.

Margaret, outstanding photo of the beautiful honeyeaters. Love that corella too.

Nanny, glad the hawk didn't find any birds. Cute photo of the creeper.

Lily, cute photo of your cardinals too.

We've had two Bald Eagles here every day for a while now but the sun is always so bright on them. Guess I shouldn't complain though.

Here's the second one.

My Sharp-shinned Hawk is still here every day too.

The Cedar Waxwings are really arriving in large numbers now.

Here is a picture I took while I was out today. We are supposed to get bad weather soon and I was trying to get a good picture. I think this one is a good one. This was in a tree along my route.

Such great shots from all of you!

Good one Teddy!

Yellow-bellied wp;

Here's a Hermit Thrush which is staying in the heavy brush and not cooperating for photos.

The American Wigeon is a sweet little duck which visits our lake now and then.

A good series, duc. Been gone a few days and haven't been on the board. Had about 50 Ring-necked Ducks on the pond this a.m.

I'm chasing info on a congregation of eagles. Have a fellow checking today. If they are there I'll make a trip for some photos.

Nice shots Lily, duc and red!

I guess everyone is cleaning up or traveling after the holiday so I'm going to start the new thread. Please post your new photos here-

What a yard bird, ducbucln. Bald Eagles. We've seen them two miles from here, so there's hope...

Always enjoy the Brown Creepers, Nanny. Pretty picture, Teddy.

Thank you for your responses about the "blue" bird. I was sure it would have been a challenge. Here's another picture from that day. I was soo tempted to put it in the Appallingly bad pictures, because we got distracted by this hawk and later learned that behind us was a Snowy Owl. It was way in the field, but there nonetheless.

Yes Chillybean I got #100-Rough legged Hawk and I also got 2 more Cackling Goose and American Black Duck (which I had seen before, but never photographed). All I wanted was 100 before the year ended. But I am at 102! :)
