Daily Pics - Vol. 150

Gee..they all look nice. I am having computer problems and they will not enlarge for me. I seemed. But it is Dave's that seem to be the only site affected by whatever is wrong. Very Frustrating anyway.

Northern Flicker watching a dispute over in another tree nearby.

Dave, I especially loved that Phoebe shot and the one fo Papa Bluebird, wow!!

I have at least 15 Anna's hummers here now, usually 30 in the Spring and Summer. Yes, several of them will stay year round.

I think this is a Cooper's or Sharp-Shinned Hawk. It was here yesterday and giving itself a shower in our rain.

Another one-

"Awwww, that rain feels so good"

Neat pics duc!

Love the Flicker nanny!

Nice pic of the Chaffinch in the holly wallaby!

So many great pics on this thread and Nanny let me thank you for starting it.

It has been kind of slow around here this week but was surprised to see this pair of Yellow-bellied Sapsucker Woodpeckers land on the Cocks-comb that I have left for the birds. Unfortunately they were in the shade but hope you can see them OK!

Here is the male,

Here's the female,

and here is the happy couple together!

Here is a White Crowned Sparrow with the Maple Tree colors in the background.

Fantastic pics from both! I like the first Hawk pic duc, it looks like it's really enjoying it and going to sleep!

Wow rose, fantastic colour co-ordination there! Love the one of them together, what is that ruby coloured thing?

OMG..Rose, guess what I had today..but my pic is not near as good as yours. I hardly got it before it was gone!! It is #95 on the list....Yellow-bellied Sapsucker!! LOL

Congrats nanny!

House Sparrow of Tree Sparrow?

I think this Blue Jay came in too fast for a landing.

LOL

But he ended up happy.

Looks like a House Sparrow to me...but don't take my word!! lol

Congrats Nanny...you are so close to your goal of 100!!!

Cool shots Pelle...those Blue Jays are such clowns!!

Thanks Wallaby...the plant is a Cocks Comb and some of them got really large this year. I left them up this year as the birds really enjoy the seeds on them. Here is a pic of one of the smaller ones.

I was so surprised to see this female Red-bellied Woodpecker at the feeder a little while ago. It is only the second time I've seen a female! Isn't she just gorgeous?!!

as if to confirm that she was a girl she showed me the top of her head...so sweet!

The House Finches have shown up also...here is a male.

Thanks ...

Rose and Pelle you are both on a roll today..beautiful pics!

From thursday..we have had a lot of Starlings passing thru right now

Thanks Nanny...the Starlings have also returned but so far are not eating!!

I almost forgot that I've been seeing Robin's again...this one landed in the dead tree!

A pretty Goldfinch landed on the bird bath this morning.

A Pine Siskin...not fighting for once! LOL!

Wonderful pics Rose and Nanny!

Rose I saw my female red-bellied woodpecker today too. I don't see the females very often until right before nesting time. We have lots of Robins too but usually only at the very beginning and end of the day.

I think your right thats a House Sparrow.

Here is a missed shot; he came in so fast from out of nowhere I didn't have time to adjust the lens.

A few Black-capped Chickadee pics from yesterday.

#3 These guys are so cute and friendly.

Wow...those are nice shots Pelle! That little Chickadee is so cute and that TV looks really close!

holy cow, this must be the gorgeous birds thread!

Blue Jay with an Almond. Looks like he's smiling doesn't it?

The chickadees at Ipswich River santuary (Mass Audubon) will help themselves to seeds from your hand. Ours chatter at us to refill the feeder, but are not that tame.

Little Song Sparrow..lots of them around now!

A pair of Cedar Waxwings eating on the mystery shrub down the road.

a single CW

and a cute little Downy to end..

What brilliant shots, everyone.  I second what Mrs Ed said  about this being the gorgeous birds thread.  Rose, the one of the female RBW is stunning.
