Daily Pics - Vol. 176

These two were really having a conversation.

One last one of the Tree Swallows.

These Crows love the chopped peanuts.

Another one

Wow you guys have been busy!

Burn, I love the Grosbeak, Redpolls and the pigeon is beautiful!

Dinu, Nice catch on the Kite and the sunbird is lovely!

Duc, The Swallows are gorgeous.

Great Kite, Dinu. I've seen kites in CA but never here.

burn, looks like that dove was doing it's morning calisthenics. :)

Dinu, great shots. Love the yellow sunbird.

duc, those tree swallows are adorable. Particularly liked the last pic of the two tree swallows really chattering at each other.

I love swallows, and crows, and kites! Great photos.

I was very excited to have a new visitor this morning, a Dark-eyed Junco (I think.) I was in luck too because the sun came out briefly and I snapped a half a dozen photos before it flew away. I was sure one would turn out, but nooooo! This was the best one.

That sure is a Dark-eyed Junco Elphaba. Nice pic!

Is he a new bird for you?

I've never seen one in a brug!!

Good afternoon, Resin. I want to thank you again for your reply concerning the Cedar Waxwings. Here is a photo of a couple of members of the flock.

Beautiful pic of the waxwings!

Pelle, I think that I've seen them at my parent's house in South Dakota, but I've never seen one here. Excellent plant ID Boojum especially with barely a leaf to go by!

That is a good pic of the waxwings!

I guess I'll be holding out hope for them at my heated bird bath; there have been a lot of Robins at it.

After I said that I hadn't seen a junco except in SD in the winter, I remembered a bird pic that I took this past x-mas at a golf course in California. I don't think this is a junco though. I think it's a Black Phoebe. I'm sure Resin will set me straight. They look similar though.

Yep, Black Phoebe.

Dinu that little Sunbird, is very cheery, she sure wears the name well.
The Swallows are beautiful Duc. anxious to see them. I like how the color changes on them, sometime it's looks metallic green and other time they look a nice blue color.
Elphaba, I love the Junco and Phoebe in their setting.
birdwoman ,nice to see the Cedar Waxwings, I see the Bohemian more often then the Cedar one.
An Evening Grosbeak checking, if there's a spot for him at the feeder.

Their really a beautiful and interesting looking bird burn!

Thank you, Elphaba and Pelletory. My husband took the photo. I still have trouble getting along with our new Lumix camera. LOL BTW, that is a heated water dish. Still, I was surprised to see the Waxwings get so close to the house. I hope they come your way. Blessings to you both.

Some wonderful posts here everyone!
