DAILY PICS VOL. 44

Nice pictures in this thread. I especially like your shots Laverne....here is a small Hawk I got some shots of today. After crashing through my back bushes and coming up empty, he sat on the antenna for a moment. I'm not sure what kind he is though.

dellrose, That is a Flicker; Congratulations!

The Downys (and some other wp's) will "freeze" if they think danger is nearby.

Wonderful pics!

Love the piglet shot adel!

Thanks for the ID Adel and Pelle. I've been seeing him for awhile and was so happy I could at least get a shot for ID!

Thanks also Pelle for confirming that I wasn't imagining the little Downy freezing from the danger! I sure felt sorry for him...his body language really told the story!

Gardenmom, not sure what kind of hawk that is but I saw a similar one today..unfortunately I didn't get a pic as I was driving!

adel, your captions always make me laugh! lol

DH is trying to learn how to use the camera sooo these are his pics!

Nice pictures of vultures and eagle Linth.
Adel, very colorful, most of the birds posted on here I don't see here. Except for the GF
Cardinals are beautiful birds.
Pelle, is this a dove? It was too far for me to say for sure.

Looks like a Mourning Dove.

Hi burn, Yes its a M. Dove.

Thanks gardenpom and Pelle.
A chickadee today in the crabapple.

What a CUTIE... LOL

dellrose, We got this picture yesterday on our roof just outside our front window. "Red-shafted" Northern Flicker. Looks like what you have also.

Taken yesterday, looks like it is a Clark's Nutcracker, but it's bill is so short compared to our guide pictures. Anyone know for sure?

Burn, your little dee is so pretty! I have a terrible time trying to catch them.

Nanny_56 Your DH picked a hard photo to get (what with the limbs in front of the bird) I think he did quite well.

Depsi............could it be an immature Northern Shrike?

adelbertcat, yep, I think you're right, thanks.

Good morning everyone! Taken thru the window on a sunny day! No sun today, dreary and overcast..yuk!

Here's a White Throated Sparrow!

House Finches high in the tree!

Your windows are clean, dellrose! That WTS shot is beautiful.

Thank you Kaperc! Now that I look at that pic I realize I was standing in the garage doorway and not thru a window!! I became concerned when you mentioned my clean windows...that will never happen! LOL!! Thank you again for your kind comment.

LOL, rose! I was going to have you come to my house and clean mine!

Real gray and over cast here today too. Luckly I have a few stashed away to post!
A RBW...Not real good, dirty windows don't help!!

Downy was playing hard to get

I love those WP and that Downy pic is sure sharp!

Here's one I just took thru the dirty window! I set up a log on the feeder table and put peanut butter on it. This little Downy is trying to find some leftovers!

I think we should find a tree with a little more foliage.

Neither rain, nor snow, nor gloom of night can keep us from finding the seeds.

?

dwr, Thats a great pic thanks for postin it!

Wonderful pics everyone!

adel, those still look like Junco's.

pelle..............they're Juncos,,,,,,,,,,I'm wondering what the caption should be...... Alright children!! no rough housing at the breakfast table.

Sounds good!

Thanks Resin, I was leaning toward Sharp-shinned because of it's small size. I think he is after my Painted and Indigo Buntings.

I managed a shot of a magpie across the field going into the trees today, not a good one though in the dullness.

A short time after a Jay was low flying near the trees, it seems to glide near the ground with little effort. Again, a distance in dullness shot!

It perched a while in some shrubby trees.

Glided towards a gap going to the next field.

Then it glided back again.

I know you're all waiting to see the wonderful Magpie shot!

Great pics everyone!
