DAILY PICS VOLUME #78

Beautiful shot!

I would be falling out! Fabulous, sybil!

Couple shots of groups of Turkey Vultures flying over yesterday afternoon. They were really high but I counted 16 black dots here I think.

This was the first group to pass over.

Saw my first Bald Eagle in Shelburne Falls today. I have always see them in Turners Falls on the Connecticut River but this one was on a tributary of the Deerfield River. Sigh. Didn't bring my camera. But I think I'll start some birding tomorrow. Stuff is happening. New arrivals here at the house: grackles, chipping sparrows, and house finches.

Hey Sybil you GO!! Thataway to rub it in that you have the best pileated woodpeckers on the forum!!

An Evening Grosbeak graced our feeders today....

Here he is looking directly at the camera...looks like an angry bull to me....We have many, many birds now and just enjoy them so much....Deb

Elphaba...nice pic...what species of Hummer is it ? Black- chinned ???

Deb - he does look like he's going to charge! LOL

Depsi, glad to see ya back, was wondering what happened to you!

Love the female cardinal, dellrose. And, sybil, the pileateds!!!!!!!!!!! wow.

Here's the male version of the Northern Cardinal...

Plain old brown-headed cowbird...
But, even they have some character!

Wow, Wonderful pics Everyone!!

Sybil excellent Pileated shots!

Nanny,I love all the Vultures!

Hi Depsi, So good to see you; very nice shots!!

Julie, Love the Cardinals and Cowbird!

We just saw a great grey owl - but I couldn't get a good shot. Following are the last two for the day.

Three for one.

On the run!

Redheads at the pond on thursday.

A pair of Mallards

What a beautiful nest site the Canadian Geese have chosen. It's only accessable by air, and is well above a very fast moving creek.

When I first saw the goose on the nest, (at least I assume it's nesting) it seemed to me not quite alright. I thought it might be dead, as it didn't have it's head up or tucked under the wing as they do when sleeping.

The next day a goose was at the site and another (presumably the one at the nest the first day) was in a slower moving part of the creek with the body floating on the water and the neck resting on the creek bank. I hope it's okay, but I am concerned.

Different place.....different goose.

It was dipping it's head into the pond, and pulling it up rapidly. I tried to catch the water on it's back. Bad lighting, but I thought it was a cool image.

Another.

Very nice pics tiger!!! Thanks for posting them!! I love geese.

You're up very late, pelle!

How about a Eurasian Wigeon?

Lesser Scaup

such great pictures!!!! Deb

Thanks to you both. I wish the sun had been out so the colors on this Wood Duck would show.

Someone was feeding the nutria apples and carrots.

Adelbertcat, I think it's a female ruby-throated hummingbird b/c black-chinned hummingbirds aren't supposed to come this far east. Sometimes, they defy the map though!

Love the duck and geese shots, and that nutria is pretty cute too!

Great pictures tiger!!! I love that Eurasian Wigeon!!

I'm going to start a new volume of Daily Pics now.
