Been gone a few days, and missed a lot. Such a good variety of birds and very nice pictures.

Burn,

Thanks for always posting the sweet and beautiful Pine Grosbeaks and Redpolls! I love seeing them! We don't get either one here during the year, but would love it if we did. Nice pics!

Pelletory -- I love that line, " I used to use hot pepper in liquid form for deterring squirrels; the birds didn't care and after a while neither did the squirrels." Made me laugh and smile.

Very dark and rainy day here so please excuse pic.

Wb burn! Sweet pics of Redpoll and Grosbeak!

:o)

Harsh, bright sun with black shadows. Bad day for bird pix.

I only got one fairly good one.

Head shot of female Redwing.

We're having VERY heavy downpour of rain right now; the backyard is flooded.

Glad I went to the Bird Shop a little earlier,I had a some trouble driving home when it started; roads were already beginning to flood.

Nice closeup trois! Glad you've brought more attention to the female Red-winged Blackbird for us;she definitely is a handsome bird!

Keep dry! Flooded is our natural state.
I agree they are a great looking bird. I have wondered why they are so neglected.

Yep! Amazing Trois!

We crossposted Trois, lol!

I love the RWBB!

Got out to some different scenery today and went by Bear Creek to see who was out.

There were Mallards...

Some warming and preening...

A noisy fella caught my eye...

Red-bellied WP

Nice pics debnes; I love the Mallards though I rarely see them.

Oh my gosh I can't believe we're already up to 105 (now106) replies in this thread!

Oops cross posted; nice pic again debnes!

Blue Jays eating pecans

More Mallards

Great shots, debnes!
I especially liked the great Mallard pic.

Sorry bout the repeat...really meant to post another photo!!


Is this some sort of hybrid Mallard? I couldn't find exact match in any of my books. The breast and bill are the same...

Thanks Trois! Don't you love how they pose for ya... (I think they know me), LOL!

Here's one giving me the ...'Horacio' (without the sunglasses)
(CSI Miami)

debnes

It could be a Gadwall/Mallard mix.

Did that CSI duck make any wisecracks?

You mean NCIS?

LOL!Trois!

Haha Kaperc that's Jethro, rofl!

Lots of wisecrackers.

LOL! :-)
