Oooops! hit the wrong button...

Spent most of the day outside, working in the yard and taking pics. Here's a Grackle.

Indigo Buntings.

Red-Bellied Woodpeckers.

Yellow-Rumped Warbler silhouetted in the the afternoon sun.

Grackle with his treasure.

Hawk came down into the yard but left hungry.

Hawk take-off.

A few Chickadees

Resin just identified this as an Eastern Phoebe. I had another pic up for ID a few months ago, but sightings of this bird for me are rare and I forgot someone else identified it earlier...maybe OldNed.

Very nice pics everyone!

Dark-Eyed Junco

Common Redpoll

ooooooo, gardenpom, that is a great picture of the hawk taking off. I love that it is an unusual angle and that tail is amazing.

Gosh, what beautiful pictures you folks have submitted.

The furry-tailed hopper bandit in action. I have a couple of shots of this character,
to share if I can get them to load.

Second shot of the muncher.

Oops! Leaned too far!

while we're on the squirrel subject, here's one munching on orange rind. I'm not sure if the birds ate the orange pulp or this guy, but he sure liked the rind.

Gaaaaaa!! I posted the wrong picture for the second shot.

Here is the one I wanted to post!

LOL on the many puffy mourning doves. The day wasn't particularly cold here, so I can't say that the dove was trying to keep warm. Maybe puffing up for other reasons...

Just popping in to say hi. Been busy researching plants for my new landscape but have been treating myself every couple of hours with everybodies pictures. Weather has been icky (very windy) so I've been staying indoors except for vey quick trips to fill the feeders.

Spring is coming! I found a fully bloomed crocus today, my son pointed out the first arriving Tree Swallow, and I saw a butterfly!

I've a Pileated calling and flying over fairly often, but it doesn't seem to want to stop by for more than a minute. ;-(

Here's a White-breasted Nuthatch from yesterday.

Stunning pic tiger!!!!

Sybil, UNREAL, you seem to be living close to a wooded area? Way to go!!! Congrats

This is my new adopted pet,someone didn't want anymore.
It's a Female Zebra Finch. Hope you can see her well through the cage. I'll have to get her a new cage, it's so small and get her a bath.. She got a sweet little unusual voice.
I've already manage to train my cat to leave her alone. But I don't take chances, though, I close the door, when I'm not around.

Very sweet burn! Yes,I love their voices!

Great pics everyone, I have been reading and looking, but no time to post lately. Still watching birdies here, and like Angele very busy planning for this years layouts. I planted thousands of seeds this week and now we have the rain.. Expecting more than 2 inches before the weekend is over.

Let's see what I have from the past few days of birds...

Yellow-rumped Warbler in the front trees.
