DAILY PICS VOLUME 142

A Spotted Towhee coming in for............

(sorry about the quality of these 2 pics, but they were taken during a rain storm)

a bite to eat with Frank the Frog

Can you find more than a dozen White-winged Crossbills in this picture?

I'm adding six new close ups, from this afternoon, to the Crossbill thread.

12 for me too

Resin

adel, Thanks for starting the new thread! Love the Towhee.

I'm pleased to see Frank the frog adel!

Lousy weather here too, struggling to reach 50F in the afternoon, mostly around mid 40's by midday. No frost YET but it doesn't look good.

Not getting may pics at the mo, had some young pheasants around a while ago, one was going in the greenhouses and couldn't find it's way out the door so flew at the roof and broke a glass pane! Scattered pots on/off the table but there were tell tale feathers.

This female strolled through the garden a couple of weeks ago.

hahha. funny juvie cardinal. There were 2 of these bugging mom for some food.

Birds aren't the only ones that want to dine with Frank Frog.

sorry to hear about the green house .... so cool to see birds I don't see around here

Red-Bellied Woodpecker.

2nd pic.

Mockingbird resting on one leg and singing.

As IDed on the ID forum, Female Purple Finch or immature.

And i thought I had a new sparrow, but was IDed by Resin as a First-winter White-crowned Sparrow. WAY different that May's white crowned sparrows.

and a different view.

Good to see you getting more birds Marna! Nice pics!

Very nice pics GP!

Yah it's nice! Thanks.

thanks for the new thread Adel.
Wallaby when I see your name I thinks of the Pheasant and the Blue Tits. Nice shot. When I go visit my Sons down the Province, I sometime see a Pheasant, but am never ready for a pic. One of these days, I'll get my bird.
Gp Beautiful shot of Red-Bellied WP
Marna, Your juvie Cardinal is so cute.
Here's a companion for your Purple finch.

Upside down American Goldfinch, who's looking at me.

Now we have 2.

All I have is a Tufted Titmouse...

Thanks burn, that cardinal just cracked me up! I wish I could have gotten the family shot. wow, your purple finch is really colorful!

or a Yellow Rumped Warbler...

Nanny… "all i have…" Sheesh!!! I have not seen a titmouse here at the house ever. They are at my mom's in the country.

show off.

and lastly, a White-breasted Nuthatch...

"at mom's in the country"...you need to move to the country Mrs. Ed!!

People make fun of me for saying that since I live in a town of 9600! I wish we could live in the country, but DH has to be in city limits.

Oooo, would he be a police officer then?

The town live in before we moved here was only around 8,000 people when we moved there. Now it is over 20,000.


From yesterday evening...Bluebird on a neighbors mailbox

He seems to be in mid-molt...looked pretty rough!

I was busy today...I had to go to town to do my shopping. SO not much walking around time today.

All I got was this male Cardinal, who paid me no mind

And this little Wren...Carolina???

House Wren

Resin

Nice pics nanny! I especially liked the Nuthatch.

Onewish, all part of nature, lol, the pane has clipped together OK as was mainly in two pieces.

So, adel, what is your dinner guest, doesn't look like a racoon as they have striped tails?

Great RB Woodpecker pics gardenpom, they always look glued ot the tree!


Enjoying everyone's pics! Supposed to be warming up a bit on Monday, last night it was 40F before 7pm and thermometer in the greenhouse was down to 35F! Yesterday was like late November, today not a lot better!

burn, a Blue Tit frozen for you, lol, just got it in the pic. The Great Tit had just flown on as I snapped, it looks to have nice new feathers.

Ha. not a police officer at all. Keep guessing!

Guessing is one thing I am really not good at! It shall remain a mystery I guess!

Mourning Dove this morning!

House Finch...there is just no missing this fellow when he shows up. He just glows!!

Look who I found today!!

There was group of of them so pics of different ones various phases!

Cedar Waxwings!
