Thank you for that story Adel...it was very touching. The Quail to beautiful!

Burn...I know you have snow but you also have Waxwings!! Lucky, Lucky you!

You have green grass Rose!

I feel sorry for that poor Starling burn, it looks so miserable.

Your Goldfinch looks pleased with all that food Mrs Ed, maybe that's why it co-operates!

I can never get over the elaborate Ca Quail, it looks like it belongs in Alice in Wonderland. Very touching story adelbert, the picture says it all.

Robin looking big eyed (and with a neck!)

Blue Tit has had his hair done.

What are you looking at, huh, I think my yellow pollen covered face is pretty!

Look, I'ver got it on my eyelashes too!

Well, if trees have yellow flowers on, I like to sit on them.

Don't point that thing at me!

Make room for me I'm coming in!

Hey boyo, this is my food station!

Oh ye? Who says!

It's OK dear, I'll get him..

Arrggh, here comes the dreaded Sparrow get me outa here!

Wonderful pictures everyone. I love the Redpolls and the Cedar Waxwings.

Wallaby, your pictures and commentary made my day!

GG

I'm pleased I've brightened your day GG! I took these yesterday, it was windy today but warm so I got on with much need potting.

Blackbird thinks he's the superior one.

Well maybe he is when it comes down to worms.

I'm a pretty girl Great Tit.

I thought I told you not to rock the boat!

Great pics everybody!

Thanks everyone, I do feel fortunate, to get the Waxwings. It's the first year, I see them coming this often.

I have a lot of Mourning Doves this year too, the other year there were maybe 3 or 4 coming.

Hi everyone. I've been lurking and enjoying all your great photos. Adel, that eagle story is so wonderful. My cousin just sent me this link to an eagle cam you all might enjoy. http://www.friendsofblackwater.org/camhtm2.html

Hope to have some pics soon - the orioles have landed! Saw a beautiful male yesterday and put the feeder out right away. Also, some bluebirds have been hanging around, bathing in the stream and checking out the house we put up for them. Fingers crossed.

That would be great kaperc! We would love to see the Orioles!

Good Luck with the Bluebirds; be sure to keep us posted on that!

Nice pics wallaby! I like the Blackbirds!

burn, Nice pic; I had alot of Doves around today.

Great pics everyone! Nothing new going on at my feeders these days except the Gold Finches are getting their summer feathers and turning more gold every day. I hear lots more singing from the birds so I guess spring is in the air! Loved the story of Freedom. Eleanor

Wallably...love those pics and the little Robin is so cute! And yes we do have lots of green grass now...due to all the rain we have had lately!

Burn...We also have lots of Doves and they have been so active since spring arrived!

Kaperc...I am patiently waiting for the Orioles...congrats on yours and hope you get lots of pics to share here.

You folks in the north east will be getting high winds today...take care. We are expecting another 2-4 inches and flooding again..grrr.

I was able to get a photo of the Eastern Towhee when I went looking for him yesterday...how lucky is that?!! Thought I'd faint...a first for me and geez was I excited. Here is the handsome fella,

He wanted me to see his better side too!

The little female wouldn't come out but I did get this poor pic of the beauty!

This little bird caught my attention with his beautiful singing...and he did a lot of it. Sadie helped me ID as a Field Sparrow...another first for me!

I had another Bluebird pair checking out another nestbox! I checked the other box where another pair is nesting and there were 6 eggs! Now I am really getting nervous!

Here is the new pair.

Thats great Rose! Congratulations!!!

Beautiful pics of the Towhees!! We don't see too many females. Thank You!!

Thanks Pelle...I hope the Female Towhee comes out of hiding and I can get a good pic of her. She is soooo pretty! If I couldn't post my pics here I would be lost...everyone I know thinks I am nuts!! When I say I have Bluebirds or I saw a Towhee today they do everything but pat me on the head as they say "that's nice"!!

I know what you mean. I get looks like I'm a weirdo when I say I love bird watching. :-)

Rose, just love the towhee pictures. I love the light in his beautiful eyes!!

congrats. No luck finding the cuckoo though???

Thanks pelle.

Rose, the Eastern Towhee is such a handsome bird! The female looks very shy and so sweet. The Field Sparrow looks full of it, lol.

The Song Thrush has turned up again, it's song is beautiful and LOUD.

Starling on the roof top.

Excellent shot of the Song Thrush wallaby!
