DAILY PICS VOL. 173

A Dark Eyed Junco and female Downy Woodpecker sharing some suet.

And a White-breasted Nuthatch.

Would like the Nuthatch to come to my yard.
Crazybird good catch on the Red-bellied and Cardinal, congratulation on luring it to your yard.
All my birds, were looking like Nanny's White-throated Sparrow, a ball of feathers.

Here's a Bohemain Waxwing , just a round as can be.

Two more fluffy birds.
Mourning Dove and Starling.

Not as fluffed but still cold is a Blue Jay.

Now that's fluffy!!!

Some Pine Sisken and Redpolls.

Love those redpolls.

Wow that is a fluffy Waxwing! Great pics guys!

Minus 31C (-24F) this morning when I got up. And that's warmer, then what we had all week. It's started to snow now, and it's suppose to warm up considerably.

A Hoary Redpoll.

Countrymouse yes to the White-crowned Sparrow.

Burn that poor waxwing...but so cute!!

My Cedar Waxings were not too puffy at all on friday, which surprised me!

2 White-throated Sparrows

Love their song.

I heard these two Bald Eagles before I spotted them, they were soaring high above.

Painted Bunting.

Indigo Bunting.

In the feeder with the pine siskins.....I have a cheapo grocery store mix of 'fruits and berries' seed mix and a cut in half orange. Basically I had been reading and the kids opened a soft orange.......then wouldnt eat it so I put it out for the birds. It was clean and good just wasnt 'kid' worthy. :) Apparently they liked it! Since the temps have remained below freezing I have left it out there.

We finally got some pictures of that rascally wood pecker.....hope to upload soon.

Here is the picture of the elusive Red-bellied Woodpecker!

And a male Downy Woodpecker!

Nice Henygirl!!

American Tree Sparrow

A Northern Cardinal with a White-throated Sparrow...

Blue Jay enjoying it's corn...

Female House Finch...those skinny little legs just looked sooo cold to me the other day!

Nanny, you're really getting some gorgeous pics.
Heny, love the woodpeckers. I took some of a downy yesterday, but they weren't all that exciting!

This is a test of what my pics look like on this thread when I super, duper crop them!

Well, ya know that's not so terrible. How about this one.

Nice Pine Warbler!

Resin

Thank you Elphaba! I am sure I will be on another roll here where I can't get the camera to focus for nothing here real soon! lol

Blue Jay on the front porch...Starling in the back ground.

another shot...

and a Cedar Waxwing

Elphaba, nice shots!

nanny_56, great shot of the Cedar Waxwing. What a beautiful bird. Wish we had those a little farther north in my neck of the woods. :)

Melanie

Countrymouse, they are here in Idiana year round...you just have to be were they are finding food. Last I never even noticed these beauties around. (we moved here Jan '07) This fall they were all over the place, every where I looked. Don't know how I missed the the first year here! LOL

Double Tufted Titmouse!

sooo cute!

I see you in there!!!

I wonder if they ever hit their toes??? lol

Cute pics nanny!

nanny_56,
Goodness, how did you get that Tufted Titmouse to sit still long enough to take all those pictures? Mine usually swoop in just long enough to grab one sunflower seed and they're off like a shot again.

I'll have to look harder in the thickets along the road to see if I can spot a Cedar Waxwing. Do they ever come up to your feeders?

Melanie

LOL...The titmouse is comfortable eating it's seed there at this feeder most of the time.

I have not had any waxwings come to the feeders...not yet anyway. I find them in the thicket's along the road I live on.

Sometimes you will find them hangin around with American Robins too.

Cute Painted Bunting,Titmouse and Warbler, and Red-bellied Woodpecker, and Cardinal.
Those I don't see here. Except for the Warbler, in Summer only, miss them.
These Evening Grosbeaks, have been here all day yesterday.

I've seen the Waxwings with the Robins also, eating berries and Crabapples.
Nice shot of them Nanny.
The female Evening Grosbeak.

And the Other Grosbeak that visit regularly, Pine Grosbeak, Male and Female.
