DAILY PICS VOL. 108

Congrats on the new bird CM...it's always exciting!

GM...that feeder with the GF are sooo striking...love the Jay too!!

Thanks for the info Mary!

Nan..I've only seen the Warblers in the "woody" areas...I would love to have them come to the feeders! I've heard of people seeing the different Warblers all over the state!

One more Blue Jay. GM

That's a super one GM!! Good job!

We did hav other visitors yester day besides the Pileated!

Mrs. Northern Flicker stopped in too.

Hmm, I do need to plant some evergreens this fall along the woodline, hope that helps. I have seen different warblers here in Missouri and in the other 8 states I've lived in, I just haven't seen my childhood favorite until your picture.( and it IS in the state/region/climate area... that I'm in! Yipieee

The Hairy Woodpecker came by too!

The MR. tried out the hummingbird feeder on the front porch.

Baltimore Oriole

The Mrs. stayed back on their buffet table!

and the Brown Thrasher...

Angele, if the photo at the top of this thread is the one that came out the worst, well wow, you have great photos! I love that photo. My worst would either be a complete blur, a headless blur, or worse, a picture of a bunch of dead leaves that I thought was a bird!

Absolutely fantastic pictures everyone! I love the Flickers, and the Brown Thrashers! Those are hard to get b/c so shy. The Bluebirds! Oh and that Yellow Warbler, WOW!

I think I may have broken my camera or at least the auto focus. I can't seem to get a good pic even when the birds pose for me! This is as close as I got today. I think this cardinal is a very nervous fledgling.

Love your cardinal, Elphaba - such a worried little expression! All the photos today are great - I went out this evening to see what I could find.

Dellrose - I want your camera!

A rose breasted grosbeak - first I have seen on this new property.

An updated shot of my baby bluebirds...

and my baby robins

and finally, my first ever yellow warbler ( I think). I thought I was photographing a goldfinch, but when I zoomed on the shots on my computer, I realized it wasnt....

No sign of the Evening Grosbeaks today, just some Black-headed Grosbeaks (male)

Now I'm blushing Elphaba, I was just speaking about that mornings photos, all came out in focus except for the Grosbeak. It seems every shot I take of a House Finch comes out so crisp but when I see a new bird I must get excited and shake the camera. Believe me I have more than my fair share of clunkers and some of those clunkers I am very fond of and then again sometimes I am very fond of the delete key. :-)

Loving all the birds everyone is sharing.

Nice pics everybody!

I got lucky and got a picture of one of the blue jays eating.

Lots of babies at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm
Snowy Egrets

Cattle Egret babies

Tricolored Heron babies

Great White Egret struggling to place a branch in its nest.

this pair of Cattle Egrets are still patching their nest

This Tricolor is very late in building its nest. The other Tricolor's are feeding chicks. Perhaps it lost its first hatchlings.

Tricolor Heron chicks begging food from a parent.

A watchful Cattle Egret

Snowy Egret

those are great shots!

CMoxon... Don't ya just love those surprises!

angele....I am very fond of the delete key too! lol

bsharf....WOW!

Had a couple more White-crowned Sparrows stop by the other day.

I took this shot in the morning and the light just made it look a little surreal. I did no color adjusting on it.

Red-bellied Woodpecker

Great pictures everyone!
Here is a photo of Green heron through the screen so It's not the best.

Male Cardinal checking out the oriole buffet table!

Ospry nest on top of the light poll at Tarket store parking lot. This photo was taken last year but they are there this year as well.

Wonderful pics sunshine!

I Heard some sad news last night from my sister down the shore. one of the 2 nesting Ospreys were killed probably from a passing truck on the road right near their nest.

Baltimore Oriole up in the tree.

Red-winged Blackbird

A pair of Gray Catbirds

You are all so busy still, my birds are scarce now they're nesting. I'm still watching and enjoying all yours though!

I got a Mistle Thrush today, it had it's eye on me and while I was checking the pics it disappeared, lol, should have just taken them and I might have got it in flight. They are so big, their legs always look too small!
