DAILY PICS VOL. 61

HERE'S a different pic profile.

Thanks Pelle and Wallaby,wished it hadn't been as blurry.

Debnes hope that tornado, does not come through. or does any damage to anyone.

Wallaby nice green grass in your pictures, also love the birds.

Ducks at feeder, that's different!!
,

burn, I know, DH and I were surprised! DH said the same exact thing.

Thanks again angele!

Here is one pics of the female cardinal with blue on her chest. Is this not differant?? BEV

Here is another!

I had European Goldfinches as pets but they were terrible pets and were really mean to each other. They belong in the wild. I think they are so beautiful!

I was driving home just now and saw a big bird in a tree so I ran home for my camera and luckily he was still there.

It was dusk and quite foggy, so I didn't expect much. I have seen Barred owls in this spot before, so I often look.

Sure enough. He appeared to be hunting mice.

Nice markings when he turned his head.

Love the shape of his body.

Looks like almost everybody has snow. I love photos of birds in the snow. We usually get a few snowstorms every year but none so far this winter. Wallaby, your Goldfinch are so different than ours here. That red face is really something!
Susan, those photos are wonderful. What is the bird block?
Bev, I haven't a clue about your Cardinal! Maybe it is getting new feathers???
Boojum.. great owl!!! (edited to add I love the fog!)
Here is a photo of Pete the Pyrrhuloxia - Cardinalis sinuatus, his feathers are blowing in a cold wind we are having today.

There's something innocent and baby-like about them, no?

Boojum, I think the look sweet & cuddly but I'm not gonna try that if I ever see one.. probably scratch my eyes out if I tried to cuddle it, no? lol

Nature red in tooth and claw (well beak and claw in this case).

Found a peanut...

Wow great pics everyone!

dragon that is different maybe she is losing some feathers;I'll look again

Very cool boojum! Thanks for the extra effort to get the pics!

angele, Lovely shot of the Pyrrhuloxia!

Beautiful pic of the Pileated Woodpecker sybil!

Pell, I don't think so because the knot of feathers that are on the left side stick out like she has a tumer, I have seen a bald headed male befor and his shin under is black. This color is royal blue!! BEV

The Night Herons, Ibis and Spoonbills are hanging around the alligator swamp at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm today. Yellow Crowned Night Heron.

Spoonbills were making stick nests

This Tricolored Heron, 'reading' the Green Heron sign.

The White Ibis were at the top of the trees.

Okay dragon then that is very interesting! I've never had anything like that w/ mine or seen it before so thats quite different. :-) Thanks for the pics!

Look at the big eyes on the first 2 guys!

I love the tricolored reading the sign!

Beautiful pics bsharf!!

A Cardinal peeking at me the other day. :-)

LOL bsharf! Very smart Heron!


Beautiful pics!

Great pics, everyone.

Great shots in this thread. Love your ultra-sharp Cardinal pic Pelle! I did not have much time outside and only managed a couple not so sharp Vulture pics. First up is the Black Vulture.

And the Turkey Vulture.

Great GP you really captures the white wing tips of the BVulture! Nice couple of comparison pics too!

angele~
That's a stunning pic of the Cardinal sinuatus!

We haven't had any snow here this winter... It's been like an Indian Summer off and on!

Thanks GP! I really like those Vulture shots; its nice that you see both kinds.

I've never seen a spoonbill. Very cool.

Wow, lots of great pics today!

A pair of Jackdaws look to have babies in the neighbour's capped off chimney, they both disappeared half into it wings flapping.

Looking up to it's mate.

Action, they flew both together or separately to a nearby oak then back.

Good landing!
