We've continuing our Daily pics here, from this thread
http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/837934/
We're just one thread away, before we reach the big100!!!
Was out to look at the Falls today, they are roaring with rushing water, from this Spring thaw. Usually the gulls are around at that time, so got a few pics of them.
Ring-Billed Gull
Someone had just thrown out some fries for the Gulls, and they were quick to get them.
Thought, it would be nice to post this American Woodcock again, since we don't get to see them too often.
American Goldfinch and Redpoll.
Love that guy, burn. He must be fun to watch.
Mourning dove was a very cooperative:
Stonechat
Resin
Thanks for starting the new thread burn. No pics today. Nobody in the yard much except for the yb sapsuckers who are everywhere - noisy and territorial!
Resin, our native birds are protected by law, though we can legally cause the demise of Starlings and House Sparrow. Unless you are a Native American Indian, it is even illegal to have feathers of native species.

Burn, that woodcock is a really freaky looking bird! But I sure would love to see one. Thanks for the new thread too.
Resin, your Stonechat is a very handsome bird!
burn, Nice start w/ the bright Gull!
Great pics everyone!

Your all welcome.
Nanegoat that woodcock, will probably be my first and last time seeing him. They are seldom seen in daytime,because they're nocturnal and they blend so well in the wood land, that it's almost impossible to see, according to what I've learned about them.
Resin, Nice bird, Don't think I'll ever see one of those either.
Mrs-Ed thanks for linking the old thread to this one.

A Steller's Jay posing for his portrait.
Thanks for the correction, pelle! I must be more sleep deprived than I thought. Fixed it on my post.
A Steller's Jay having a very bad hair day.
I'll add some pics to the nice ones here.....female Painted Bunting.
It was kind of chilly here this morning, and this Indigo Bunting shows it.
Great Crested Flycatcher stayed a distance away.
Goldfinch.
Catbird...one of several I have this year.
Here he is in the Florida Privet....I have a few berry producing shrubs and they have kept the birds very happy.
Enjoying a Firebush berry.
I have a lot of Juncos, more than any other years.
Earlier I said that the piglets were not as active today. I discovered why.......they had eaten almost all of the thistle in the three socks that I had put out. I re filled them and things got back to normal.
Eating ten pounds of thistle gives a guy a thirst.
Super pics everyone!

Song Thrush singing it's head off yesterday in the horse chestnut tree, it had been drizzling but with a spring flavour.
Great time of year for birdwatching. Been enjoying all the birds coming in to eat. I just got up to refill my coffee and saw 8 wood ducks coming up on the shore. (only seen them in the water or in trees before) One male was cking out a robin, before I got the camera on them.
Here are 3 of them. (the others were behind the bushes.
Neat pics wallaby!
Burn...thanks for the new thread! I am so happy to see Spring arriving for you. Thanks for the pic of the Redpole especially...I will miss them when they fly north! I just love that Woodcock!
