Daily Pics Vol. #86

Now. Yuck.

Absolutely amazing pictures as always! I'm in awe of all of you and your remarkable birds!

Here's a cardinal. I usually have trouble getting pictures of the males. Even if the feet are in focus the body seems to be a glowing blur.

Wonderful pics guys!

Elphaba,Love the colors!

Thanks Pelle!

Here was another attempt at my Hooded Warbler. He's coming to the pond for a bath, but only when it's almost dark, so I haven't gotten a good pic yet. My book says he might stay all summer, but in the past, he's only been here a short time, so I'm taking what I can get! You have to look through a lot of messy foliage - sorry about that!

Their a striking looking bird!

Mrs. Ed...Cute little Robin! We had a Robin nest in a tree in front of our living room window...3 babies and it was such a fun time for us.

Lussah...I have lots of Goldfinch and they are changing also...but I want some of your Waxwings!!

Sybil...I heard you were gonna get a lot of snow...good grief will spring never arrive! Nice pics...love the Pileated!!

Elphaba...Very colorful pics...love that Hooded Warbler!

Black-capped Chickadee

Their in such constant movement theres always one part thats not in focus as much as the rest. Here its the head. I enjoy the challenge though. :-)

dellrose, The cedar waxwings aren't here for very long, but I sure enjoy them when they are. Next time they're gracing my garden, I'll ask them to visit your neck of the woods, too!

Wallaby, I love the Blue Tits... great pics
Resin, the Stellar's Jay (courtesy of Adel) diagram was cool... I didn't know that !!
Elphaba, cool Hooded Warbler.
TigerLily, Love the Green Heron Sequence.

Oops just noticed I'm post # 128

Here's a Cardinal from this evening

The cardinals seem to have stopped coming to the feeder, but have started to call. They must be open for business.

Howdy Neighbor!

I live in an apartment so I am not allowed to actually feed the birds but I do put out store bought suet every now and again.

Here's a Robin

Had to make the long trek to town so I did a little birding. (Ring-billed Seagull)

Stopped by the Klamath River P.O. Oak Titmouse

Very nice pics everyone!

***Grasmussen will be starting the new Daily Pics soon. :-)***

White-crowned Sparrow

and a Hummer, not sure what kind.

Beautiful pics adel!

Hard to tell w/out the spread tail feathers but I would guess Rufous Hummingbird.

I think rufous, too.

I agree on Rufous... I asked the Post Master and she thought it was an Anna's, but I don't see any white eyebrow and the coloring is wrong. Here' a Lesser Goldfinch that caught my eye.

GREAT pictures everyone ... I'm green with envy!

I'm not seeing much here except for my usual bunch of doves and house finches.

Today I went down along the river looking for birds. I spotted a big bird in the distance behind some trees; so I moved in slowly for a closer look. Here's a picture of the bird ... a weather vane on someone's gazebo. (Boy, did I feel dumb!)

This thread is getting a little long, so we're off to Volume 87. Just click on the link below.
