Daily Pics - Vol. 147

eevie, mine eat from the ground. I toss out some stuff for the ground feeders, plus the leftovers from messy birds at the feeders.

Ooops, forgot to post my picture!

Sunny yesterday and I got this cuteness.

This one goes out to Margaret! Sorry about the focus

Oh that wren is just too adorable for words!

I was amazed how close I got to this little girl!

My favorite Bluebird the other morning...I hear them more than I see them now.

Rose...cutest little Wren

Mrs' Ed...nice chickadee

Frank.. love your swamp

Some Turkey Vultures were circling in very close the other morning

and

last...

Haven't seen goldfinches yet, must be enough wild stuff around. Feeder up 2 days & just the regular crowd, chickadees, tufted mitmice, W breasted nuthatch (2 0f those at once so I know we have a pair) & blue jays. Haven't seen the cardinals yet although we know they have been around all summer.

Today I have two female purple finches.

these are somewhat of a rarity for me, so I kept clicking away!

Mrs_Ed - I get too many squirrels, and chipmunks, to leave food on the ground :( Will have to build one of those caged feeders one of these days, though the chipmunk will get in.

And where isn't a purple finch a rarity? Glad you got lots of pix!

Oh, and great shot of the chickadee with the seed in its mouth!

I think that Burn gets all the purple finches!

Ah, well a cage would work in the winter when the chippies are hibernating! I have no chipmunks, but I'd like to have some. Trade in a few of the squirrels.

Here's a female cardinal.

Great capture of the Geese bebop, I had some fly over at dusk some weeks ago now, they flew one way then came back but I couldn't get a pic, no time to get the camera! There was one huge 'V' across the sky with several smaller ones, never seen so many.

Funny bottoms up!

I have a cutie Great Tit too Mrs_Ed ~ and Blue Tit, lol! We had sun too.

Funny too you should get a Wren, Rose, there was one in my neighbour's greenhouse when I went there yesterday. His big fat cat was on top of the propogator sunning himself, I don't think he knew it was there until it flew up from the ground. He got booted out and I left the door open just a little, although windows were open too. It has cobwebs on it's head!

It clung there until it had a 'plan' which was to go under the shelves again!

About to drop.

The cutie Great Tit, in a moult.

A couple of young sparrows, they were quite sweet.

I think I dropped some on my tummy...

OK, I'm going...!!

I was spotted by BlueTit, but after checking me out it turned attention to the nuts.. but too many other birds kept it away, must be a young one. These are grainy because of high ISO.

Well, I think I know you...

Just checking with the other eye...

Stop looking, didn't you know I was shy...

Are we both cute?

Nice pics guys!

Here's a male House Finch in the trumpetvine.

Lovely Pelle!

Mrs. Ed, Wallaby and Nanny...you guys have outdone yourselves today. Love the TV.s, Purple Finch, Tits and Wren shots!

It is very slow birding in our yard...mostly Bluebirds, Wrens and Woodpeckers. Haven't a clue where all the other little birdies are...!

Here is a Red-bellied Woodpecker practicing for his high-wire act!

I just liked the way this cute female Bluebird looked!

I finally have the Blues eating closer to home...now I need to change the background! He is so handsome though just had to share!

wow, gorgeous. I wish they would come in town to visit me!!

Thanks Mrs. Ed...I still have to pinch myself whenever they show up. They are such a joy in my life...! (and I think maybe expensive as they are eating the mealworms like crazy)!!

This one is titled "On Guard"!!

and this little girl is "Innocent" !

Rose, I love that "On Guard" shot!

Did anyone else see that ABC news did a story on the Bar-tailed Godwit tonight?

Yes--very long flight; no fuel problem! It was on NBC as well.

Rose, those are so lovely!!

Big ole silly crow

Nanny, I'd be VERY wary if I had Vultures circling close by. How are you feeling?

What fantastic birds everyone.

Thanks for the Blue Jays, Mrs Ed.

Rose, I feel so sorry for you, having mostly only Woodpeckers, Wrens and Bluebirds. Sad. NOT! What gorgeous birds.

Adelbertcat and Frank, fantastic birds, Herons. Frank that scene look so peaceful.

Linthicum, your patience paid off. Bottoms up is a beauty.

Wallaby, love your Tits. Great capture on the sparrow eating off its underside.

Pelle, love shot of the House Finch.

ahem…

Lol, if I could only tell you a story about that!
