DAILY PICS VOL. 104

Time for a new thread. We came from http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/842767/
Here is a white-throated sparrow. The flock arrived about 2 weeks ago.

Another recent arrival: chipping sparrow

A pair of mourning doves

Great start. Great pic of the white-throated sparrow.

Great job bebop! Wonderful pics!

Thanks for starting the new thread!

Lincoln's Sparrow, IDed by Resin on the new Bird ID forum.

Very cool guys! Nice pics!

Talking about peanuts, yesterday my Pheasant followed me when I went to put more peanuts in the silo. I had already put the last of some oats on the ground, but he wanted peanuts first. I gave him a few, then he went back to eat the oats! Later I had him eating bread from my hand, and he was more gentle than the first attempt, lol.

Yesterday the female Blackbird was gathering nesting materials for the next nest. I watched to see where she flew to, but too clever for that, she ran along the ground until out of sight! I haven't seen the young from the first lot yet.

Feeding pheasants by hand?

Oh you've got to have someone take a pic of that!

I will see if that can be arranged pelle!

This Mistle Thrush was collecting outside my front window on the dug area a week ago, has a mouthful of moss too from the 'grass'. It looks to have blue on it but that I think is because it was through double glazing and it was dull. The ones I had last year weren't this pale, they had the 'c' shape heavy dots on buff but this one has large blobs on white, it's back was grey too.

it's back.

Very nice!

bebop - great start!!! Thanks. :)

Some really great photos on the last few threads.
Thanks for starting the new thread bebop, and nice pic of the White-throated sparrow.

Congrats Mrs. Ed on the new sparrow!

Beautiful pics! I was busy again today so just alittle birdwatching in the back yard. I hope to get out tommorrw and do some looking. I did see a female Red-breated Grosbeak at the feeder this morning, but a grackle scared her off before I could get a pic!!

Once again...only I would get a shot like this! lol
Female Baltimore Oriole eating up in the tree.

Or how some rubber necking to get that jelly!

burn, Great pics! I love those Evening Grosbeaks!

nanny, Nice ones of the Orioles!

Thanks Nanny.

White-crowned sparrow at the watering hole. S/He was funny… hopped along the ground and then hopped up the branch to the bowl.

Very nice Evening Grosbeaks burn!

nanny, I got a back view too! Only time I got to take a pic of a Greenfinch on the feeder in sunshine, it didn't see me for a start as I came through the gap to my garden.

The guardian Pheasant arrived for his feast, and as requested some pics but you only get my hand, lol.

Down the hatch

None left? He did gently pick up a small crumb!

Found a dropped piece!

Wonderful photos everyone!

This was a big OMG moment for me. I think I gave DH a heart attack.

Male Red-breasted Grosbeak. He likes the peanuts!

And on to the silo…

BTW… this is a new bird for me. I did not expect to see one in town!

OMG, the female just showed up1
Wowee. what a week.

Great pics everyone! Bebop, thanks for starting the new thread!

Congrats Mrs. Ed and those are great pics. Ours arrived yesterday and I have yet to get a decent one! Have fun watching your new buddies! The female keeps chasing the male and immature away fromt he feeders...also the Immature male!

I sure hope they stay. I better get to Farm and Fleet and get some more peanuts! I'm starting to feel like I have a neon sign on my roof like you do, Rose!


Here she is…

What sweeties, those little white-throats! I particularly love to see them in the winter perched in my snow-covered .

Again, such incredible photos - I could spend all day just looking at them all. Kudos to all of you!!!

I did get this one of three hummers at the feeder - eventually it ended up with a fight, of course, but for that brief time, they were all there.

Cool shot Murmur...they do like to squabble don't they!!

Mrs. Ed. I think the females are sooo pretty, they are all around today and the dogs barked as soon as I was about to snap a nice and clean pic! I don't know how long they stay in our area!

Here is a Kildeer that is nesting somewhere around the pond area!
