Daily Pics Vol. 171

Would yall help me id this one? :)

White breasted nuthatch

Nice shots everyone. Beautiful here today, I got lots of shots, I'll try and get some uploaded later tonight. We will be getting some chilly weather here this week, but warm compared to some of you!

Tufted Titmouse this morning was the first I had any birds visit our new home. :)

Iris THANK you so much. I have searched for awhile today and couldnt seem to find the name. I am gonna pick up a bird id book this weekend.

Here is American Goldfinch.

Nice pics Heny! The Titmouse is a great first bird to have and the
White-breasted Nuthatch is such a sweet one.

LOL Okay evie but I get to complain again in 2 days when it's even colder. :-)

Brrr....getting to a high of 18 here on Friday Pelle with a wind chill!!
The Pine Sisken is so cute!

Evie that sure is cold!

gardenpom, wondering what's considered chilly in Florida? hehehe We hit a balmy high of 7 degrees here today. ;)

Henygirl, love the shot of the American Goldfinch. So cute in the snow!

I have to tell ya [if chatter in here is okay] I have been teasing my mom about bird watching for some time now. At Christmas we played dirty santa and I won the feeder. I was so excited put it up and then waited and waited and waited........was getting upset ..no birds.

Mom was sortof teasing me back cuz I felt I wasnt gonna get any birds.

THEN today was like 'hey yall she has good stuff down here' I was so excited I called my mom, grabbed the camera! :)

The White-breasted Nuthatch was skittish everytime I got the camera ready he would fly away to the tree. So I am hoping to get a closer one tomorrow while drinking my coffee. There was also a red headed woodpecker but those other birds wouldnt let him land.

My WB Nuthatchs just land long enough to grab a bite and then zip back up in the tree to eat it.

That is their operating mode. Chickadees do the same thing.

Going into forties tonight, thirties the next two nights. Should not reach freezing in our area.

I sure hope not, GP. But the weatherman just said that this blast of cold was going all the way past Cuba. Yikes! It is bad enough up north where we expect it in winter, I hope you guys don't lose your landscaping (and all of our fruit and vegetable crops)

There are some wonderful pics on this thread but it is time to begin a new one. I will be back with a link to the new thread.

Here is the link for the new thread...please join me there http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/943225/ .
