Daily Pics Vol. #92

Wow !!! Very soon a thread won’t last a full day. That’s good, but it keeps everyone hopping. We just came from Vol#91 started yesterday. http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/832465/

I’m still awaiting the arrival of most migratory birds. I have my hummingbird feeder out but no activity to date. That’s okay because it gives me time to work in the garden.

Spring reminders, not that I really need one, are always the arrival of the American Robin and the Eastern Bluebirds. Of course, in the interim, I can always salivate over Dave’s Bluebird family.

Needing no introduction, here's the old reliable, the American Robin.

Unfortunately, I have never had a Bluebird visit my property but I do know where they are and which boxes they occupy. So, I am able to get some occasional photos.

Edited to delete posting that should have been for Vol. #91. I had too many threads open at one time.

Beautiful shots.

Wonderful pics Linth! Thanks for starting the new thread!

Pelle

Heres the male Brown-headed Cowbird who was with the female today.

Tuesday this Sora was a first for me. I would have thought that they had gone north by now.

This Eastern Kingbird was also a first.

My third new one was this Blue-winged Teal.

I got some interesting shots of some nest as the boat drifted under a bridge but no nest-builders.

Got news of a Red-crested Pochard at a local pond today (fairly rare here), went to see it

Resin

Thank you resin. Congrats on getting the rare Red-crested Pochard.

Great shots, I love the blue colouring of the Blue Bird linth.

pelle, nice shot of the Brown-headed Cowbird.

f_chisholm, interesting bird the Sora with it's large yellow beak!

I'm still trying to catch up, lol, been busy gardening and taking pics. From 4 days ago, this pair of Mallards who are at home in my garden went on a walkabout. They were near my window marching past, led by the female, he spotted me.

Both spot me.

I'll protect you dear..

All's well, march on..

Around by my back door, then off around the bath tub.

You go ahead dear while I take a rest..

Nope, nothing much here..

Come along then dear, back to our backwater..

Super pics everyone!

Congratulations on the new birds guys!

Great start again guys! Thanks linth for starting it.

Really like the water birds. Don't see those, in my neck of the woods, except for the Mallards
Pelle had the female cowbird too today, at least I think it was. It came with the brown headed cowbird. I tried to match it with your female. But I'm not sure.

Linth, thanks for Vol 92.

The American Robin

What a pretty catch burn!

I think this new feeder is a tad too deep.

Thanks Nanny, It was fun to see them again.
I see some nice color coming up, on your sweet goldfinches, they are so pretty. Can't wait to have them around.
I saw one yesterday. Couldn't get a pic of him. But, I now know, they have arrived and will soon be adding color to my backyard.

LOL Adel, just a tad.

(Lesser Goldfinch) would somebody please come get these two imposter? (Dark-eyed Juncos).

Chisolm the Sora is a very beautiful bird.

Thanks for the new thread Linth and thanks everyone for posting your pics.

Burn...you still have snow but you have Waxwings and Goldfinch!!

Adel...You are a hoot! We still have Junco's but I've never seen one on a thistle sock..what are you feeding those guys?

Here is a Male Eastern Bluebird.
