Nice shots Debnes, glad the meal worms worked out.

Depsi, Great shot of the Ficker; how much snow do you have?

Thanks sybil, good one!

Some House Finch;first the male.

female House Finch

Just one more of the Flicker...this guy is so engaging!!!!! our gutters are covered with snow but he does everything he can to get in under the overhangs....Deb

Thats so funny! I wish mine would come down to eye level.

Chickadee looking for some seeds! GM

Sybil, thanks for the info. DH and I would definitely prefer the Puppy Bowl.

Nice pic GM!
Wish my DH preferred the Puppy Bowl. :-)

Heres the male Downy Woodpecker today.

You can see the dark spots on the outer white tail feathers which along with their smaller size distinguishes them from Hairy Woodpeckers who have the plain white outer tail feathers.

Nice example Pelle!

Fighting goldfinches - maybe one is a Giant's fan and it's Manning country around here.

Another finch that obligingly sat behind a dark background for me.

very pretty shot!

Looks like a great "plaque" picture mrw!

Great capture!

Again, I think I've seen the most beautiful shot ever and along comes another!!!! My Gosh, MRW, that is just an awesome shot....Deb

Nice catch on the American Goldfinch mrw!!

Awsome pics!! BEV

Here's a good site to see images of lots of foreign birds.

These Steller's Jays are enjoying the heat wave we are having. The sun came out for about three hours and it got up to 43 degrees.

This one is heading for the suet.

Nice pics adel; glad you had some nice weather!

We had some beautiful weather here today too. The Hawks & Vultures were cruising all over the skies so I thought I might try to work on getting birds in flight today.
LOL, I have to practice alot more! Out of around 100 shots, this was the only one I kept. I think I may have to adjust some settings too.

Heres the Red-tailed Hawk

Gorgeous shot, Pelle!!

WOW!!!!!!

Pelle, definitely worth the effort!!

Aww thats nice;Thank you very much!

You want to see something funny??? This bird is sitting on this cats back!!!! BEV

And this moma redbird has a blue chest. I want to get a closer clearer one of this!! BEV

LOL Bev!

Great pictures of the red tail hawk -- beautiful.

Nice shot Pelle.

Pelletory, what a fantastic shot of that Downy Woodpecker. Love it! Gosh, I can almost count his feathers! The characteristics you included are really helpful to this newbie.

GG

great job Pelle, your Hawk in flight is fantastic.
Fun to see all these beautiful birds. Thanks everyone.

Now you know I love that hawk in flight shot, pelle!

Beautiful shots everyone. I especially like the House Finch male and Goldfinch shots. It was around 80 here today, so it sounds funny to me when I hear you all say it is nice when it is in the forties! Have to give credit to all you Northerners who go out in the cold to birdwatch!!!

Some absolutely amazing shots today!
We had a lovely warm and sunny day. I did spend a few minutes with the tweeters, in between spring garden chores.
WB Nuthatch, just about to take off.
