Daily Pics Vol. #85

The Firecrest is a neat bird!

Debin I like your photo of the Goldfinch w/ those pretty pink flowers!

Very cool bird Resin...another new one for me!

Debin...The Goldfinch is gorgeous and I love that little Downy...their eyes are so expressive!

Resin and Wallaby, I loved seeing your birds. I've never seen any of those before. Resin, I'm impressed that you could get a picture of a Firecrest if it's related to a kinglet. I've tried so many times (including just yesterday) to get a picture of a kinglet.

Sadie, I loved your pics. I was really impressed by the Carolina Wren b/c I've found them really hard to photograph too.

Deb, I thought my goldfinches were long gone and was surprised when they came back! Like you though, I'll only get to enjoy them for a short time.

I had a bunch of Cedar Waxwings today and yesterday, but they just wouldn't cooperate either!

Nice pic Elphaba!

My Cedar Waxwings aren't very cooperative either. Their rarely ever here until 6:30 pm or later! :-)

Wow! I never saw a Hooded Warbler or a Firecrest before. Beautiful.

I didn't find the duck nest today. In fact all I got for my efforts was two wet feet and cold!!

Here is a Grackle. Not sure if he is coming or going!

They are not sharing. One is eating the nut bar and the other the suet cake.

As soon as he turns his back I'll pounce on him.

Deb, thanks for the neat picture of that little blob of sunshine - so adorable! I'll bet they're staying south because it's too dang cold up here!

Really nice photos evryone! I got nothing today...I got a Barnes & Noble giftcard so I just ordered me the Sibley Field Guide and I can't wait to get it! Got some music to listen to while I look at it. Reba McIntire's 'Duets' & Stevie Nicks Crystal Vision. I believe in diversity!!

Mourning Doves in love...Awwww

I had a great sighting a couple weeks ago during a very cold spell. Two dz. cedar waxwings were feeding on tiny crabapples in our school courtyard.

You guys have very nice birds, Debin, like Pelle mention, that goldfinch is very nice with those bright flowers.
Glad to see, there's more birds out there I haven't seen yet. The Hooded Warbler and Firecrest are sweet.

My Redpolls are still around.

You can see a little more color . . . window photography . . not so good!

An American Crow

Yummy!

Nice seeing your waxwings OPBirder. I get all excited when I see Waxwings on my crabapple, I'm like a kid, running all over the place for pics. Because they don't stay very long, and it's far in between, before they come back to the tree.

You go first. No, you go.

And a Redpoll and Chickadee.

LOL OPBirder,

Adel, what kind of bird is that pretty blue one?

OP that's a Western Scrub Jay

I'm glad to know my friend junco and I aren't the only ones up to our beaks in white stuff, burn_!

Such a rough name for such a colorful guy, Adel.

Wow! Super pics here. Love the Crow....I only see them flying over. I have my daily pics to upload. I'll start with an Indigo Bunting.

Indigo again.

I have many crows in my neighborhood. They absolutely thrive here. And I love listening to their conversations back and forth across the tree tops, burn. All of your pics have given me some new ideas for bird food. I'll try the nut bar.

Painted Bunting.

Indigo and Painted.

Collared Dove.

Goldfinch.

Oh my gosh! It's a rainbow of birds. Heavenly colors gardenpom.

Grackle on roof.

Cedar Waxwings. I find these difficult to photograph also. Always hidden in tree branches.

More Cedar Waxwings.

Goldfinch at feeder.

OP: I love your "blob of sunshine" description. :)
Burn: Good one of the "snow Crow"! We have lots of them here, too, but usually waaaaay up in the pine trees.

Male Cardinal.

Yellow-rumped Warbler.

Yellow-rumped Warblers.

Adel - Googled the scrub-jay. Bad bird. He doesn't play nice.

The blossom-pickin' female Cardinal was back. Also saw a Hummingbird this morning, but failed to get a picture.
