DAILY PICS-VOLUME 119

I feel so privileged to be able to look at the wonderfully diverse birds throughout this thread and learn of their behaviours. The colours and markings are breathtaking. Rose, the close up and personal pic of the Grackle is stupendous!

I agree Margaret. I so enjoy everyone's photos. I don't know anything about Grackles, I can't remember ever seeing one in Maine. Are they related to jackdaws or crows?

I think I'm going to start selling these eagles as scarecrows.....................(Black-headed Grosbeak)

Yeh, they are obviously a great deterrent.

adelbertcat, that is too funny. Bird hitchhiking. Our swallows did not stay and nest this year. Boojum, so jealeous.

IDellrose, Indigo Bunting, had one once here. They blow through for a day or two each spring, but I haven't been lucky to see them for many years.

I put up a new and bigger thistle feeder this afternoon and the birds found it in 3 min. It hold 4 qts. Patti

Cardinal from this afternoon. GM

Great photos everyone. Especially loved the quail family, bluebirds, and enjoyed the Great Tit lesson wallaby. Beautiful black-headed grosbeak. Thanks everyone.

I don't know if Tree Swallows nest twice a year, but this pair appears to be house hunting again. The male is inside.

Great pics guys!

Nice feeder Patti! Love the swallows adel!

I'll be starting a new thread real soon. This has been a great thread.

Thanks Everyone!

Goldfinch at the feeder have been sparse the last few weeks.

But am seeing flying all around and up in the tress so they must be nesting.

nanny_56, they have all come to Nantucket on vacation. Patti
