Daily Pics Vol. 154

The Cardinals must be running out of natural food as they have returned to the yard for seed.

Here is a female.

and a male.

A cute little Chipping Sparrow.

Red-bellied Woodpecker...he was sticking sunflower seeds in the trunk of the Willow tree!

A Tufted Titmouse in the make-do feeder.

Last one...a pair of TT's!

Wow Rose, what a lovely collection!

Dave, Pelle and Rose, your photos just floored me. WOW! They're so reach-out-and-touch me looking. I've never even heard of a dickcissel!
Deb, those wrens are so hard to get. Love it.
Nanny, you got the yellow-bellied sapsucker photo that I missed yesterday! I was happy to see one really.
Margaret, Ibis are so cool!
Burn, you do have the fanciest bird feeders in town!

This is my lame Blue Jay. The hole in his chest is healing nicely. It just looks like a dark patch in this photo. He's getting used to being one-legged too. For a while, he was getting pretty thin, but he's fattened up.

Great pics everyone!

Love the Dickcissel Rose.

So glad the Blue Jay is doing well Elphaba!

Here are 4 pics of a Tufted Titmouse with a sunflower kernel from the other day.

4. I just love these birds.

pelletory, I'm so glad to see your tufted titmouse, I saw a few at my backyard feeders for the first time since Spring time. Are there different kind of titmouse? Mine seem to be much bigger than a Carolina wren. Sorry my pix isn't very clear...

Thanks Marna, Elphaba and Pelle! The Dickcissel was a lovely surprise!

Elphaba...I am so glad to see that the Blue Jay is improving...it is just heartwrenching to see a bird that has been injured!

Pelle...Gorgeous shots of the TT...they are just beautiful!

Lily...Your little bird looks like an Eastern Phoebe or some other type of flycatcher.

It does look like a phoebe or flycatcher.

Thank you Rose.

Thanks Dellrose and Pelletory, I'll try another pix tomorrow, they flew off somewhere for now. :-)

Rose and Pelle, what an absolutely stunning line-up.

Here's a shot of a New Holland Honeyeater from yesterday (which is still today for you).

That's a gorgeous pic Margaret! I would frame that one.

I agree...that is a stunning shot Margaret! Definitely hang it on the wall!

Rose, Pelle superb photos.
Margaret stunning pic of the Honey Eater and flowers.
Thanks Elphaba.
American Goldfinch

Black-Capped Chickadee.

Mourning Dove resting.

ohh, shoot, too late for the photo contest on the honey eater!

Here are some Turkeys that some times come to my feeder. I came out one day and there were 15 in my back yard. Pretty cool!

Great pics! I love seeing your birds from the other side of the world, Margaret!

Wow jim thats a wild sight!

Margaret make a folder for Dave Phot Contest 2009 and stick that pic in there for next year!!

I have been gone all day so haven't been on since this morning...WOW you all have sooo topped yourselves!!!! They are all fabulous.

I have got to start watching closer to see if I am getting any Pine Siskins mixed in with all the Golfinch. I bet there have times lately that we have near a hundred birds out there!

Burn...nice pics and variety...will they stay the winter?

Jim...all I can say is Wow! I love Wild Turkeys!

Nanny...you probably do have Siskins but I have found them hard to spot if I'm not looking for them. I wonder if I had them last year and just didn't know it!

Here is another shot of the make-do feeder showing the Red-bellied Woodpecker and Dickcissel. The woodpecker flew off and continued to tuck seeds in the trunk of the willow tree and the Dickcissel continued to eat in peace!

I wanted to show a few pics of the male Cardinal with his crest up! He landed on the feeder log and I thought he was listening to the click of the camera.

but I later discovered he was listening for the grasshopper that was stirring in the leaves on the sidewalk! Another reason to not rake up the leaves!! LOL!

I took this shot of a Mockingbird out of an open kitchen window. I bought him the little crock at a flea market and put meal worms in it for him and keep it on top of the feeder cage. It is heavy enough so he doesn't knock it over. The other birds like to eat out of it too!

Beautiful pics Rose!

It is cold here..right now it is 26. But at least the sun is shinning!!!

I only managed 3 pics over the weekend...American Goldfinch & male Cardinal looked so pretty together.

Carolina Cickadee, Cardinal and House Finch
