From the other night...Red-bellied Woodpecker

Here's a pair of female Eastern Bluebirds sharing at the meal worm feeder.

and a male Bluebird...not sharing...LOL!

American Goldfinch

The Pine Siskins remind me a lot of the Goldfinches...always squabbling!!

Great pics Rose! I love that last shot showing the yellow under the Pine Siskens wing!

Thanks Pelle!

I almost forgot these shots of the Bewick's Wren I took last night. The little bird has discovered the meal worms so I am hoping it stays for the winter.

Last one...getting ready to grab a worm!

Oh that last one of the Pine Sisken's is REALLY GOOD!!

Me 3 on wanting a Merlin...

Ya all are gonna be sick of these Cedar Waxwings by the time they leave!! LOL

A pair..

Hi everyone, nice to receive your replies. Beautiful day here in Coffs Harbour (north coast of NSW Australia) expecting 29 deg celsius today. I think it is fall over your way? We get The View and Ellen shows here and they are all saying don't forget to vote!! Good Luck. Anyway here is a pic for today.
One of our fishing spots.
Bye for now Hel

Enjoying everyone's pics.

Linth: Thank for the explanation about the eagles and herons. If I were an experienced
heron, I'd let the eagle have the fish, too. :)
Dellrose: Thanks. Our Cardinals come to the feeder year round. Must be there "Meet and Greet"
spot. Love the pic of the two little girl Bluebirds in the evening (?) light.
Nanny: I never get tired of Cedar Waxwings. We rarely see them before January.
(and Me 4 re/the Merlin.)

Deb

Hel:
We cross-posted. Forgot to say "wow" about that amazing photo you posted at the end of the previous thread! (and the fishing there must be very good indeed, judging by the popularity of the spot).
Deb

Hi Deb, this is this mornings sunrise 5.30 a.m. here in Aus.
Hel

Hel..nice pic of the fishing spot. That's quite a variety of birds there.

This Dark-eyed Junco didn't have any trouble using the new feeder.

Hi Guy's, this is the beautiful Pacific Ocean when the whales head north, not allowed to get too close but what do you do when they come up to you? Get out of their way!
Hel

Back to birds here are a pair of King Parrots they have a nice feed until the bossy Lorikeets chase them away. Luv all your pics they are clearer than mine.
Hel

I love those King Parrots hel.

Nice Junco adel!

hel, love the pics of the King Parrots and all the Aussuie creatures. Keep education us. Lee

Well Guy's, this is one of many Brush Turkey's that frequent my yard they are a pain in the ! I will have to log off for the day and get some work done, can"t be talking to my yankie friends all day!
Hel

hel, brush turkey. New to me. We have the American wild turkeys that are very reclusive and to see on let alone a flock is a treat. Ate they hunted as ours are? Lee

Turkey flocks are a treat to see the first time. The next hundred times they dig up the garden by taking dust baths.

That Brush Turkey Looks huge!!

Thanks Pelle and crazybirdlady. I haven't notice the Fox Sparrow before last spring. I'm glad they drop by.
Love the king birds . Your fishing spot is a bird paradise. great variety.
nanny I don't get tired at looking at cedar Waxwing. I still remember the rush of having them here, last summer.

Well glad you all don't mind them cause just not seeing much on my walks right now!! lol

Group shot of Cedar Waxwings

Tons of American Robins going thru rught now!!

This Yellow-rumped Warbler looked a little grumpy!! lol

What fantastic photos everyone. Nanny, I was thinking about you this afternoon as I was trying to get a shot of some tiny little bird flitting in and out of fine twigs, leaves and branches and have an idea of how difficult it can be.

How nice to see a fellow Aussie posting the gorgeous birds from the east coast. Welcome, Hel. It looks like you live in a magical place. I've seen the King Parrots at my sister's place in Canberra. Lucky you. I've been telling the DG birdwatchers about the Rainbow Lorikeets and what a menace they are in Western Australia because of their bullying behaviour. It would be interesting to hear your take on them.

I went to a really large wetland with DH this afternoon before heading to the Osprey's nest. Lake Herdsman is about 7 km north of where we are and is HUGE and we saw only a small portion of it. This is a White Ibis coming in for a landing. Fantastic place - can't wait for my next days off to get out there again. I'm going to start a new thread with some of the pictures I took today. It was amazing.

Wonderful pics Margaret,nanny and burn!

Last night I read on the state listserv that their considering putting Monk parakeets (Quakers) on the list as NJ birds!

I'm really enjoying seeing everyones beautiful pictures!

The birds and squirrels are going crazy gathering all the acorns and walnuts that are falling on the ground here.

We have at least 2 Bald Eagles flying past the house each day.

Great shots duc! I would love to have Eagles around.

Margaret, can't wait for pics from your new wetlands!

Duc...great shots there!!

More and more Dark-eyed Juncos every day.

Nice pic nanny; can't believe I haven't seen any yet. I was just searching the yard with my binoculars but all I'm seeing is White-throated Sparrows on the ground.

Hey Nanny, the juncos should soon be here. They spend the winter here. How about there? They, too, are sweet birds. Congrats. on the pics of the Cedar Waxwings. Lee

Lee, yes the juncos stay here for the winter too. But I have not seen them here this early. These very well could be ones that will be coming your way soon!! Ours usually arrive in November.

I am on the lookout for White-crowned Sparrows here. Have seen lots of White-throated Sparrows too.

Granddaughter's are here this week..until friday afternoon for Fall Break. So not a whole lot of time for my usual routine.

I can't id a white-crowned one but can a white-throated. The latter stay the winter here. Such sweet little creatures. Lee ps what about pine siskins?

Mockingbird and bee.
