DAILY PICS VOL. 123

wow, look at those big rocks in that BIG pond.

;)

hey burn, just for fun, can you post a picture of your front yard as it is today along with the ones of all your snow this winter?

Just for old time's sake, here's a birdie for YOU, keeper of the common redpolls.

watercan...those are out of this world!

tiger...sounds like a nice way to spend the day!

burn...that pond is just to cool!

Mrs Ed...LOL woman!

Not sure about the reaction of the one Blue jay here!

This one is really having a hard time with the fence! SO hard to learn all this new stuff!

This could have been such a cool shot....

Blue Jay fledgling just looking good

Last Blue Jay for today!!

The poor little things have gone up North now, to make more birdies for next winter, but they'll be back, and I'll have to run for lots and lots of seeds. They sure liven up my yard last winter.
I'll get a pic for you soon, Mrs-Ed. :)

Nice shots all!

Interesting to see the Oystercatchers Margaret.

I saw a Wren land on my gas bottle yesterday, it had a little rest then flew towards a small nest box on the wall near it.

I had to take these from the far end of the window at a very sharp angle as the gas bottle is next to the wall!

So tired..

Oh well, I guess it's back to work..

Great photographs of the Baltimore Oriels, WaterCan. Don't just post when you think they're up to scratch. For those of us viewing from the other side of the world, these birds are so new that it doesn't matter if the quality isn't 100%, (which it ceratinly was). It's that you are sharing part of your day to day experiences with intrigued strangers that aren't really strangers at all.

Wallaby, I remember the Canberra well, with it's twin, rear mounted funnels. It was a beautiful ship.

Nice pics of a cute wren wallaby!

Thank you Margaret, I'll keep that in mind. ☺

Have been have some issues with sharing again!

ooops! Common Grackle & Red-Bellied Woodpecker!

Chicadee

Blue Jay

Last I knew he was okay, he was posting pictures of the lavender sun.

Pelle, your juvie Red-bellied is so cute!

My Starlings did 2 and have now left for the most part. A stry now and then Now the grackles have just done another round, hoping they leave after they get this group on their own!

Nice pics GM!

Little Ruby-throated hummingbird up on the wire!

Nettie the House Wren

I know it's not a bird...but it is so doggone cute!

Grandmaggie etal..............We're OK. The hot weather and smoke has had me a little down, but doing OK. Thanks for the concern.

Adelbertcat (Jim)

Good to see your post, adel!

This is not a good photo, but I was so very pleased to actually have this little fella sit in one place for me. I've seen the Black-throated Gray Warbler only a few times over the years, and it seems a very timid little bird. Here, it had just taken a bath and was preening/shaking dry as I approached the creekbank.

The Western Tanager was distant, but more visable than usual.

When I headed for the creek this morning, a pair of Red-breasted Sapsuckers flew over me and landed nearby. I took a couple pix of them, and (darn!) it filled my card. I came back to the house and grabbed another, all the while knowing they wouldn't still be there when I went back. They weren't, but landed very near again in just a minute! This fledge was sunning on a log used in the creek rehab.
