WS is readying a wetland area. This lovely seemed to appreciate the efforts.

Oh he's gorgeous; look at those eyes.

Chukar was tiger's!! lol

How about a cute Cardinal!

She was just posing sooo cute for me!

Tennessee Warbler...I didn't see near as many today as I did a week ago.

Very poor shot of Carolina Chickadee...they are coming back around now!

I wish I knew what this was...could be a new bird!!!

Resin, thank you for the correction re: Solitary Sandpiper vs. Least Sandpiper. I don't think I will ever get some of these right. They all look alike ....

Nice photos, all. Excellent variation.

A 'Great Egret' catching his breakfast this very overcast morning ....

Steller's Jay checking things out from the Asian Pear tree.

Scrub Jay doing the same thing from the same perch.

This Sparrow and it's partner are considerably smaller than............(IDed by Resin as Juvenile Chipping Sparrow)

Still just the one Junco.

My first thought when I saw the pic was Catbird also, nanny.

Red-billed Hornbill from Africa

(sorry 'bout the cage lines, but it is a captive bird)

Good grief... I didn't expect anyone to try and guess!

Another view

I am so ready for the winter birds to arrive. All I seem to have right now in my yard are Grackles, Doves, Jays, Cardinals, Woodpeckers and this Mockingbird.

I've been behind, and this is the best forum to catch up with! So many great pictures, and of birds, which are just so awesome :)

linthicum - I could never grow tired of bald eagle shots, esp action shots like the one you have up thread. Such a great glance into a world I never get to see.

When I went to the Coast a few days ago I took this pic and then forgot about it until yesterday. I checked with Resin and he confirmed that it is a Spotted Sandpiper. (a new bird for the list)

Woohoo,congrats adel!

Thanks pelle.

Very nice Tigerlily, do you know, what their diet consist off. I'll never get to see them in the wild.
Congratulation on the Spotted Sandpiper Adel.

The Canada Geese are still gathering at the lake.

What looks to me like a two tone bill makes me think that this is a juvenile Golden-crowned Sparrow

To drink or not to drink. That is the question.

The answer is DRINK.

I thought that the Hummers might have headed South, but they are still here.

Nice pics adel and burn!

Glad to see you still have hummers adel, I haven't seen any but I'm still hearing reports of them in this state.

Hey burn, how's the weather up there? Heard NS got a lot of bad weather.

Everything is well. Thanks for asking. Guess there's an advantage to having colder coastal water. Kyle's damage was minimal. Downed trees and 2300 lost power mostly in Nova Scotia. Only about a dozen are without power at this time. Talked to my son who live in Moncton NB this morning, he told me they received high wind and lots of rain, but no damage. Up here, was mostly a lot of rain. Didn't get what was expected, which is a lot of good news. The tail end seem to be heading towards the middle part of Prince Edward Island, and bottom part of Newfoundland, mostly as a tropical storm.

Thanks Pelle.
I'll be starting the new thread later, so stay tune.

From last thursday 's pics

A Carolina Wren

I thought this was a woodpecker until I loaded pics on the computer and saw that it was a Rose-breasted Grosbeak.

I had been hearing a really strange bird call lately...heard it the other day and followed it...Northern Flicker

another bad mystery bird

A Cardinal a day keeps the doctor away!!

Nice pics nanny! I love the Flickers.
