Daily Pics Vol. 128

Let's see those summer birds!

Crows have been very active (and noisy) in our yard recently.
Deb

I was driving in the neighborhood and spotted these two.

It seems he's checking out the area here.

American Black Vultures.

Resin

Very cool shots Deb! Thanks for starting the new thread!

Wow! My PC was down so long I'll play heck trying to catch up, but I've enjoyed what I have seen.

I finally got a fairly decent shot of the Western Tanager. You've got to be ready when these guys show up!

Beautiful tiger!

wow, what a beautiful bird. I never get to see those!

The Lazuli Bunting is coming just a tad closer, but not close enough, darn.

A couple nights ago my son used my camera at the local pow wow, and it was late when he got back so he took the camera into his trailer. Next morning this (I think) juvenile Green Heron landed just outside my kitchen while I was outside. Evan was still sleeping and I was sure the bird would fly away while I came in to get the keys and went to his trailer for the camera. I got lucky...........

The little Black-throated Gray Warbler's are still coming around, but the creek is way down and they always bathe when I have to look straight down at them.

This Great Blue Heron must be a young one, 'cause it allowed me to get fairly close.

Tiger, just love your black throat gray warbler and herons.
Methodical, great Vulture pic.
Great start Deb to the new thread.
Thanks all of you,
Margaret, lol, I tried, unfortunately I wasn't able to build my fall, as big as the one we have here, I didn't have the big rock I needed for it.
Here's a link to the one we have that carry it's name. We see some occasional ducks and sea gulls there. I attract the smaller birds to mine. :)

Ring- Billed Gull

Great pics everybody!
My SE went to the Delaware River today for some fishing. He brought back this pic of Egrets to share.
He is starting to be an avid birdwatcher! (oh no two in one house!) GM

Cooper's Hawk (graciously ID'd by Resin for me) in the back yard. Wish the pic could have been clearer, but I took it through the breakfast room window, through the screened porch. First bird of prey I've seen here and OH! was he a beauty!!

Barb (a long-time lurker here)

Thanks for the new thread Deb!

Nice pics everyone and welcome Barb (a long-time lurker) and Methodical!

Very hot today and just the regulars showing up! First are the Cardinals...here is the male.

female,

juvie,

American Goldfinch,

Indigo Bunting

The smoke has been extra thick the last few days (lousy light conditions). The Goldfinch have started showing up in greater numbers.

Still a few hummers left. My guess on this one is Anna's.

Great pics everyone!

Tiger you really got some awesome ones; love the Black-throated Gray Warbler.

Welcome Barb! I love the hawks too.

Adel, I think of you often. Sure hope things improve soon!

Great start to the thread everyone! Love those vultures!
Here's a group of turnstones feeding among washed up jellyfish.
Sue

That is quite a shot Sue...I don't think I would want to be walking on that beach..ouch!

Nice to see you back Adel!

Mr. Bluebird...taking his daily bath!

All clean and cooled off!

Deb ...fabulous start with your vultures!

Tiger...wow!! sooo many great shots!

Barb...hawks are my some of my faves!

Rose ...you know you did good!

Adel, burn and Gm...boy everybody has been busy!

There have been numerous young cardinals at my feeders lately.

Who said I don't like Nyger seeds!

Great pics everyone!

Marilyn

Oh right, I assumed they were turnstones as I'd seen those on that beach before.

am afraid that my days of summer birds are dwindling fast. It is strangely quiet outside this morning. I haven't seen a thrasher for 3 days. Only a couple of orioles at the buffet table today and 1 catbird.

Not hearing as many towhees or Indigo Buntings either. :(

Here's a grey heron from Wallington today.

Lovely! Looks quite similar to our great blue herons. Hard to get an exact idea of its size. Might be bigger than ours.

I know what you mean nanny but there are some birds I'm looking forward to seeing in the Fall and Winter.

Love the Heron knif!

Lots of birds at the feeder.

And I think this is a great spotted woodpecker.
