Great photos, everyone. This photo is sort of a change of pace. If you can't find a 'live' bird do the best you can.
Rather than tear down this old deteriorating tree someone turned the trunk into a work of art. It's located near the entrance to the Hyatt Regency in Cambridge, MD.
Thanks Pelle, I thought it might be a male as it was darker than Mrs. Eds!
Dave...thank you and yes I am very familiar with the Camdenton/Lake of the Ozarks area. It is beautiful there and we spend lots of time aimlessly driving around the area!
Linth...tell the truth...did you sneak up on that trunk to get that great shot? LOL!
Adel...so that's where all my Robin's are!!
Nanny...finally had a few Goldfinches at the feeders yesterday...here is a long shot I took just to ID!!
A pair of Goldfinch and a Tufted Titmouse
at the bathing puddle the other day (dark shot) Robin Cedar Waxwing and Yellow-rumped Warblers.
And Cedar Waxwing and Yellow -rumps here
Here are a couple of shots of my red-bellied female

Nice ones Nanny and Dave!
We had the usual suspects this morning...here is a Blue Jay.
Nice everyone! Very windy here today, so I'm not going to go birding!

Windy here too Mrs. Ed but nothing like the rest of the country!
Mr Smiley showed up this morning...Red-bellied Woodpecker.
The House Finches have finally showed up at the feeders! Here is a male.
I had forgotten what clowns they can be!!
Here is his pretty girlfriend!
Goldfinches are slowly showing up!
Finally got a shot at the Bewick's Wren!
Last one!
ha! That last one really shows what you mean by looking in all the nooks and crannies
Lovely pic Rose, Love the wren in your last pic.
Dave great action shot.
Nanny the Waxwings have been hanging around for you. Must be fun to see.
Pelle the shot of the Red-Bellied that didn't want to be seen is so cute. Love his expression.
A Fox Sparrow.
Female Purple Finch
Bad Cedar Waxwing shot..again! We have lots & lots of wild shrubs still loaded with berries where I live. I just came back from a walk and got some more pics ...hopefully a good one or two!!
Mrs. Ed you never know what those winds may blow in!!
Beautiful Dave, Rose & Burn!!
or what the winds blow OUT! We heard a huge thump today and the basement window well cover went flying out of the yard. We lost power for 2 hours because a tree blew down on some lines somewhere.
Pelle: I laughed out loud at your ducking Red-Belly.
Dellrose: I gasped at your flying one. Wow! ..and then Dave's, too!
I've been lurking, but not posting. Been crazy busy and I'm waiting for a "new" bird. :)
The sparrows are just now starting to come back to the feeders, and I'm expecting the Goldfinches to return soon. Hope so anyway. I doubt I'll see a Junco til January.
Wonderful pics, all!

Excellent shots, everyone .....
Here's 3 Bald Eagles, I adult, two immature among many Double-crested Cormorants. The adult Bald Eagle was finishing off a fish when the immature eagles attempted to steal it.
Looks like a race ........ but it wasn't. These photos were taken at quite some distance.
More than just a couple 'Black Vultures' .........
WOW X's 3 Linth!!
Beautiful GP!!
Pelle I forgot to mention I loved that ducking RBW!!
Pretty Mr. Cardinal!
eeek those vultures are very alfred hitchcock!
Just lurking and checking out the great bird shots. I haven't been shooting any bird pics lately - doing lots of landscape work which include those bushes that's bird friendly.
