Daily piccies vol 442

Nanny and Chillybean - Our Orioles are gone now, too. I really enjoyed having them around for so long this year. Nanny, you asked where the Summer went...ours is definitely still here and it's been much too hot for my liking.

Started seeing female Hummers again although we haven't had very many..male or female..this year. I hope the traffic picks up once they start migrating down from Canada.

The Goldfinches have been very active lately and we're seeing more and more of them every day. They're eating, gathering nesting material and singing (constantly). We have them all year (Winter, too), but some years we have more than others. Now that most of the Red-winged and other Blackbirds have left, the Goldfinches are more comfortable.

Your Welcome, Chillybean. Again, you can pick one of those up in any home improvement store. The link was more for reference.

1) Some kind of Gull (possibly a Ring-billed??)

2)) female House Finch with a beak full of sunflower seed.

3) Mourning Dove in one of my WBU Dinner Bell feeders.

4) Same Mourning Dove typically throwing seed all around while eating.



Edited to (maybe) identify Gull.

Very nice pics everyone!

Well, I got side-tracked and way behind so I'll just say I enjoyed everyone's photos.

Like some of you, all but six of my orioles left two days ago and I expect these younger ones will soon be gone too. Here's some of my pics of the last ones....

Love the pics, Duc! What type of plant is that in the 1st and 3rd photo?

OK, I have the new thread started, so please come on over. Thank you for all the great pictures and fun discussion.

This was a lucky shot. And this was too. The first one he has his tongue sticking out.

Very cute pics, teddy_8905!

There's a newer thread, now, that we've all moved to (click on the link in Chillybean's post, just before yours). Be sure and check it out for lots more great pics and conversation.
