Daily Pictures Volume 157

Beautiful shots. Nice clear pics of the Jay on the birdfeeder, onewish. The Vermillion Flycatcher is gorgeous. Just got back inside from the cold (47degrees) after putting the feeders out. Saw several Robins for the first time this winter.

Guess I don't feel so bad about my Hawk guess....they sure are tough to ID sometimes. Thanks Resin.

Wow Great pics guys!

Love the Blue Jay onewish!

Jane you've outdone yourself with all those gorgeous birds! Love the flight shot!

Met, wonderful pic of the red-bellied woodpecker!

I'm in catch-up mode and as much as I'd love to comment on everyone's photos, including from the last thread, all I can say is that I have enjoyed each and every one of them.

I'm still trying to get that elusive really good shot of the Rainbow Bee Eaters. I took this (and several dozen others) this afternoon. The delete thingy on my camera is wearing out.

They are gorgeous Margaret!

Red Wattlebird drinking nectar from a Banksia flower. The tree was buzzing with them, squabbling and chasing each other all over the place.

Here's a Song Sparrow

And one more shot of the Song Sparrow.

Great shot everyone. Like the variety

Wow, lots of great photos!

Here's a male Downy WP at the suet/peanut butter post

Beautiful shots sadie and Met!

Tho still a bit chilly at least the sun was out again today. So, I was able to get a few bird pics today. Starting at home with this American Crow...

on our walk we encountered this little female Dark-eyed Junco

spotted this Northern Flicker up in the trees. Lots of flickers till around. I am wondering if some may stay here for winter.

I was sure this was going to be a new bird...but nope, just a Yellow-rumped Warbler...

t

It is hard to get pics of the Blue Jays in the woods for some reason. They usually stay out of sight I guess.

LOL!!

More Cedar Waxwings today..that's all I'm saying!!
I stayed and watched them for about an hour at lunch time.

Group at the favorite watering hole in the road!!

I was wrong...this is a Cooper's not a Northern Harrier so still looking for the 100th bird....

Congrats Nanny!!!!! How exciting!

If it hadn't been for the sun glaring on its white chest I might have missed him!

Good show Nanny!!!

Yippee Skipee!! Congratulations Nanny!!!

Woohoooooo!!!

Ahahahahahaha I love that Burn!!

I am sooo thankful that I made it...and I got to share it with all off you. Couldn't have done it without you all here!!

Whew......I just hope I haven't ID it wrong!! lol

Haven't reach 100 after all...my hawk is a Cooper's that is part of a branch that made it look like the facial disc of a Harrier.... dang...

Ah darn...sorry Nanny but I'm sure you will get to 100 before the year is done!

Thanks for the new thread Sadie...it sure is moving fast with some great pics!

Wonderful pics Rose! Love that Junco amd WT Sparrow!

Thanks Pelle...I have to go to the brush piles to find the White-throated! I also saw Flickers, Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers, flocks of Waxwings, Fox Sparrows, Song Sparrows, Juvie and Adult Bald Eagles, American Kestrels, Red-tailed Hawks, Chickadees, Kildeers, Great Blue Heron as well as all of the usual suspects. I was too far away to get very many keeprs but it was a nice day for bird watching in my own "back yard" !! I was out all day and my eyes were glazed over when I returned home!!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!

All so nice rose! I had a male Brown-headed Cowbird yesterday...yikes!

Happy Thanksgiving all!!
