Beautiful shots Resin! Love the Dotterel!

Thanks for starting the new thread!

This is a very busy group; being gone a few days and playing catch-up, takes a minute, (or two):)
I posted in an older thread; will post again, ok?
Thanks, Pelletory, for getting me back on track.

Thanks for starting the new thread Resin, welcome back, Did you have an interesting vacation? Your Goosander just needed bigger shoes for the winter. :) Cute Dotterel.
Kiska love the Eagle, I tried to take a few pictures of one this pass Spring , but it was to far.
Got a few pics of a Downy Woodpecker today.

Trying to entice the little fellow to a feeder in left hand...he ain't going for it!

Great pics guys!

Your Cardinal will have a nice red outfit soon, Mrs-Ed, nice goldfinch.
Gp you've captured a lot of neat colors in your Grackle in the 3rd pic. Beautiful red-bellied WP pic.

Glad to see the Warblers again Nanny, haven't seen mine for some time.

I don't know if I'll see the Waxwings this year. there is hardly any crab apples in my trees. I'll have to try some cut up apples and put them in the mesh feeder, to lure them, hope it works. Would love to see the Bohemian again.

Here's a photo of 5 Bald Eagles that was taken earlier this week. Being quite some distance away, they were virtually impossible to see with the naked eye. While viewing them, there were six on the ground and two in he air.

linthicum, what i wouldn,t give to see a bald eagle. when i noticed 5-6 b indigo buntings dead in the yard, i phoned the fish and wildlife people. a man came out and collected them to check for west nile. he said he was on his was to see if a pair of bald eagles were ok. i asked him where the were but he didn't tell me as he didn't want them disturbed. you are so lucky. lee

That is soooooo awesome linth!!!!!!!!!!

Lee, will they notify you if the buntings died from West Niles?

Spotted this juvie Bluebird the other day! Dad was there too but couldn't get a good shot of him...and he looked pretty bad due to molting right now!

nanny_56, they did let me knoe post necropsy tat it wasn't west nile but some kind of parasitic problem. lee

What a great sight Linth!

Cute juvie nanny!

lee,Thats such ashame about the buntings.

yes it was, as i like them so much, as i do the blue grosbeaks. might someone recommend an affordable pair of binoculare. i dropped mine and damaged them and too nearsighted to see well at a distance? lee

Linth might be able to help with that. I'll take a look around and see what I can find.

Great pics everyone!

That Downy is so sweet! Love the Goldfinch! That young Bluebird is adorable!

Wonderful shot of the Eagles! Great closeup of the Hummer with his little red spot!

Super shots of the Red Belled Woodpecker! Sweet Warbler shots!

Marilyn

pelletory, the help would be so appreciated. the price range for me is about $100. lee

Lee,

So sorry to hear about the Buntings. :-((

Hi Marilynbeth did you get any new birds this Summer? Miss your posting.

thanks marilynbeth. they are such sweet birds. lee

What wonderful shots, everyone. I wish I could comment on each and every one, but I'm running around like a hairy goat.

Sorry about your buntings, lee.

Two Kookaburras and a Black Faced Cuckoo Shrike from yesterday. Thought you'd enjoy two Kookies, GP

Adorable Kookies Margaret. Love those Bald Eagles Linth.

thanks margaretk, have always been interested in kookaburras. do they vocalize early in the morning? lee

Yes lee, and at other times during the day. It's an amazing sound. I don't know if they have silent flight, such as owls have, but you never hear them flying. It's often the Singing Honeyeaters giving a warning call that alerts you to their presence. Either that or they land close by to grab some poor, hapless little lizard. They are pretty fearless and don't mind human presence, so they make a pretty good subject for photographs.

I think their adorable! Great pic Margaret!

Here's a female Northern Cardinal from this morning.

Although not perfect here's a bit of an improvement on the Turkey Vulture in flight.
