Daily Pics Vol. 91

Tawny Owl . . . this one is one of the adults of a pair in my local public park. They have two fledged owlets which I saw a couple of days ago, but they were hiding out of view today.

How wonderful! Thanks for starting the new thread Resin!

Same . . .

And some owl food . . . (Brown Rat)

Managed to get this pic of a Chiffchaff, it sat still just long enough to get one half-decent shot

And a Dipper on the river, slightly out of focus unfortunately

Resin

Very nice pics Resin; I love the Dipper!

Thanks for the new tread Resin! Nice pics, I love the owls shots!

Mrs Cardinal yesterday.

and here is the Mr.

Nice pics nanny! We have a few male Cardinals chasing each around constantly here.
Question for Resin: Would it be too early to be seeing Chickadee fledglings?
I had a number of Chickadees here w/ much lower voices and wondered.

Yep, too early for Chickadee fledglings; I'd guess in your area probably early to mid May.

Resin

Thanks Resin!

Female Downy. She's about the only one visiting anymore of my woodpecker crew.

Mrs Ed, mine were sort of MIA a few weeks back. But all are showing up again now.

Red-bellied and Hairy Woodpecker on the suet feeder yesterday.

another shot of them

Nanny, that suet ball looks like a whole chicken!!!

Very nice pics guys!

Gardenpom you have so much color at your feeders! Great shots.

I went to the marsh yesterday in search of Purple Gallinules and found some.

Beautiful Frank!!!

here is one showing his feet.

LOL, They are funny(his feet) but he has alot of work to do w/ them!

Awesome pics!!

Around here where one finds Purple Gallinules you also find Common Moorhen.

I also saw several Blue-winged Teal.

The teals were nesting. This nest was built on a stump surrounded by open water. It was very hard to find the nest and see the teal in it.
