A Black-capped Chickadee photo, I took out the kitchen window today.

aww, what a cutie!

here's a lovely goldfinch

A mixed flock of Red-breasted Nuthatches, Black-capped Chickadees, and Boreal Chickadees stopped by for breakfast this morning.

A Boreal Chickadee stopped for a rest, on a frost covered perch.

Thanks for starting the new thread Gary. Boreal is quite brown compare to the Black-Capped. He's a cutie.
Rose to answer your question on the last thread about, if the birds I posted stayed all winter? The only one that doesn't stay is the Goldfinch. They will be leaving here soon.
Mrs-Ed I like how that Goldfinch was taken.

Hairy Woodpecker

Grabbing a seed with it's tongue.

Eating Hollyhock seeds.

Blue Jay

I was at one of the local parks near the wildlife center. I turned the corner and this what I encountered - Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker. It shocked me because I was looking in the trees for the Chicadee so I was rushing to get the shots before it flew off and as you can see there were some little branches in the way which was causing the autofocus jump on me because it was trying to focus on those branches.

While at the same wildlife center inside they had several birds of prey. I thought this was a nice couple. Picture is not the best because I had to shoot between the cage. The female Barn Owl was imitating me as I was playing around and swinging side to side. I wonder if he got jealous of me see how he's looking at me.

Gary, Thanks for starting the new thread! I love the Boreal Chickadee!

Nice pics everyone! love the Barn Owls Met.

Thanks Gary !!

Met that is a nice pic of your YBS. I would love to see an adult. All i have seen so far are juvies.

Beautiful pics all!

Great pictures everyone!

This Black Phoebe showed up on our back deck.

Another one

OOOO!!! How adorable! Nice detail!

That phoebe is so cute!

How handsome it is!! SO glad you got a pic & shared with us.

Downy Woodpeckers were every where yesterday...

This one was all over this tree...

Now he was just being so cute here!

Back at home the Red-bellied Woodpeckers are coming around much more now with the cold weather coming in.

I just follow you with another red-bellied woodpecker! That downy is so cute!
Great pics everybody. Burn, love the finch in the hollyhocks!
Great start Gary. That chickadee is just wonderful.

Here is a Black-throated Green Warbler by the pond.

Little Sparrow hiding...

Nice shot of the BGW Elphaba.
I try to figure out why they like to get on the back side of the suet feeder...another Downy

I added a baffle on monday to the tray feeder. It took the Blue Jays until yesterday to figure out how to come in to the feeder now! lol

they probably think there are tasty bugs back there!!!

Great birds, everyone.

Nanny, (from the previous thread) are you going to count the "Glodfinch" as number 98?

I met a lovely lady yesterday who has given me the all-clear to prowl her driveway to get shots of the New Holland Honeyeaters. Here's one. I like how the red off the flower reflects on its chest.

Nice bird! Now what's that red thing flapping around

The stamen (I think).

Any Bald Eagles?

ah, yes, i see now.

Nope, I went to the river and no eagle when I went. DH said I'd have to go down there early in the AM, but I told him there was not enough light for taking pix. So I went to the park nearby. TWO mallards!!! sheesh! not a good day at the river.

Margaret, those shots are just amazing! They're so colorful and clear and I love to see him in action!

I had my first red-winged blackbird of the winter. He was by himself though which seemed odd. Maybe he's checking the accommodations before the others arrive.

I am pretty sure Resin would nix that!! LOL

Okay..I do tend to have a lot of typo's and I just can not get in to the habit of proof reading BEFORE I hit send! :)

Pretty Blue Jay

and one more...because I like them!!

These sequence of pics are from last week.

Red-bellied Woodpecker and Mourning Dove

YOU again??

Get OUT!!

Still the King!

Thanks Elphaba. I'll admit to be fairly pleased with the shots.

Nanny, don't change anything you're currently doing. I love a good laugh. Nice Blue Jay.

Pelle, what a funny sequence. The last shot is a stunner.

Bottoms Up!!

Canada Geese & Mallards

Everyone rightside up now!
