Grackle posing for a pic.

Even a distance away, easy to spot a Baltimore Oriole.

Wonderful pictures everyone.

Here is a Sparrow, not sure what kind ------- perhaps Song Sparrow?

Looks like a Song Sparrow to me too GG!

Duc...the Red-winged Blackbirds above are in different stages of maturity and there are many Juveniles..here is a male Juvie.

nice shots!!!

Nice ya'll!

Hey GG very nice sparrow!

We got snow today, so we had feeding frenzy here too..including the Sharp-shinned who torpedoed thru foe a meal.

This is a shot with a female Cardinal and 3 White-throated Sparrows who hung around all day!

oh, look at all those white throated sparrows!! aww!!

Thanks for the confirm on the ID Rose.

Gardenpom, I guess Blue Jays are piggies wherever you find them.

Thanks Nanny. How the heck do you entice all of the different species of birds to your feeders? Care to share you secrets?

Rotten weather here today, not a good day to be out and about. Snow, sleet, freezing rain. Yuck.

But, I can always look at the wonderful pictures you folks post.

GG

Adelbertcat, love the Kestrel and hawk photos!!

Gardenpom, love your photos too.

Granny, your Sparrow sure is colorful with those streaks.

Dellrose, thanks for the photo of the juvie. I can't wait to find a few in the Spring. This is the only picture I have of a brown colored Red wing Blackbird which I thought was a female. Now that I compare the photo with yours, I'm seeing the resemblance. This was taken last May and I didn't get to see the back of this bird.

Nanny, I forgot to tell you Ms. Cardinal and her Sparrow friends look really cute too!!

I never see kestrels any more here. Sad. Here is one of the regular cardinals in the rugosa on a snowy morning. Patti

Are we having fun yet???

Great collage bbrookrd! Those Cardinals sure are beautiful birds.

Partial albino female house finch.

The morning tray of chatty house finch.

I love their songs-it means spring to me.

Nice pics duc,Patti and Mrs Ed!

not the best shot... but it's amazing how the bad weather brings more birds to my yard... more so than on a clear day

Wonderful pictures everyone. and thanks for the comments you've made on mine.

The feeders were busy today as well. We are having a snow storm. Glad we're not getting the sleet some will have.
Had a lot of Evening grosbeaks and Redpolls, and Doves. The Starlings are not as numerous as they were last month. But still a lot.
Here's one resting after a snack of suet.

I also got the visit of some Blue Jays.

Filled these feeders this morning and they're empty now.

Evening Grosbeaks on the flower box, having a feast on sunflower seeds.

oh geeze burn, those EGrosbeaks are beautiful.

Anhinga flying over.

Painted Buntings in the feeders.

Hard to tell here, but there are several Cedar Waxwings in my Holly tree eating the berries.....this was shooting into the sun.

Beautiful male Painted Bunting.

Indigo Bunting waiting for a turn at the feeder.

Gosh. Love the painted bunting shot! They are so wonderful. I saw them at Corkscrew and in AZ.. Do you have scissortails there, too.

Thanks Mrs Ed

Love the single male Painted Bunting shot!

Granny, no big secrets here on getting them to come...just location, bad weather, and the bottomless BOSS Bowl! lol

As the snow increased yesterday afternoon, so did the visitors...Red-bellied Woodpecker

GP...that Painted Bunting is beautiful!!
