Thanks pelle for asking me to start the new thread! :)

Yesterday was very cold and dull again, birds turned up for a last minute fill. The Nuthatch was back, this time joined by Blue Tits and a Great Tit and it took no notice!
Later a Greenfinch turned up, it was a juggle between it and the blue Tit. Poor pics but it was very dull.

Here we go again...
Eventually they decided to agree, lol.
One of a Great Tit on Sunday, just to prove we do have sun.

Nice pics! Thanks for starting the new thread wallaby! I like your Nuthatch.
Gary, Wonderful shots on the last thread but I didn't like seeing that snow.
Thanks pelle, I think it might be a regular visitor now!
Blue Tit's not sure he likes that..
The Nuthatch was intent on getting a peanut from the broken part, but took a wile doing it and nothing was going to stop it! It needs lessons from the Great Tit, lol, and poor Blue Tit doesn't seem to have found that yet.
cool series of pics Wallaby
I had a nice and intelligent visitor today. As he came flying in he was imitating the first part of a Northern Flickers call. He's quite a ham and loves the sound of the camera.
You could see he was absorbing it all into his wonderful little brain, so I expect soon I'll hear him imitating the noise of the camera.
Northern Mockingbird
I was shooting in burst mode and kept taking photos just so he could hear it more.
This is it. I was so happy he stopped by.
Thanks onewish!
Great shots pelle, you can see the cogs ticking over in his brain, lol. I love the expressions on different birds.
Great pictures Wallaby!
Beautiful pics Pelle and congrats on the gold-crowned kinglet! A few years ago, a Halloween decoration kept going off over and over in the morning sun. I turned it off, but kept hearing it. Some type of blackbird was on the telephone wire with a perfect imitation of my screaming skeleton!
Can you believe this little one posed in almost the exact same position today and it did yesterday?
Very nice Elphaba! Thats hysterical about him imitating that.

I took a walk in the common area today and heard a bunch of birds. I think they were chipping sparrows. This was the best picture I could get.
Here's where they were before I scared them all off. Such a perfect natural spot - dead trees and lots of branches.
Hi eevie, That is a great spot! Thats a White-throated Sparrow.
I saw my first one the other day, a winter bird for me.
Congrats evie, I have only seen one in my lifetime.
I had another of the tan form (or maybe the same one) today. Glad to see them back.
Pell, beautiful details in the Mockingbird pictures.
Hey Elphaba, I got this Nashville Warbler yesterday!!
It is just so funny that I spent all summer savoring the quick sightings I would get here & there of the Eastern Towhee's. Tracking them thru their calls hoping for a glimpse. Now they are popping up every where & I see one just about everyday or two!!
and here...
Pelle great hawk pic on the last thread. And congratulation on your Golden Crown Kinglet.
Gary I'm cold just looking at your snow pic. and to think we're next in line for it here. Not ready!!! Jay looks good against it though.
Duc So fun to see your hand touching a hummer!!!
Thanks for the new thread Wallaby, nice start.
Lots of Crows around, this one with a little color from the tree.

Great pics everyone!
