Thanks for starting the new thread!

Boy aren't you guys the early "birds" today!! LOL I like the Orange-crowned Warbler.

Here is a (?) from yesterday at JHWR...can I get an ID?

Ducks but I don't know what kind....

Looking for lunch!

Nice pics everyone! I'll add a few from yesterday this evening.... after WORK!

Nice ones everyone, thanks for the new thread Elphaba! I would love to see an Orange-crowned Warbler someday!

Here is one of our male Eastern Bluebirds taken a few days ago.

Here is his girlfriend.

Lots of wing waving going on lately!

The gull is an immature Ring-billed Gull; the ducks are Northern Shoveler.

Well, the doorman is on his way..just hope he doesn't get lost.

SO, in the mean time some pics from this morning in the yard.

This Common Grackle must have gotten the copy of Mrs. Ed's letter to the birds in her last article. Made sure it turned its head to get the sun on the eye! lol

OOOOO, my bad Thanks for the new thread Elphaba. Nice start too!

Nice ducks Luv....and Rose love the Blue Birds.

Blue Jays were here early today...they usually come a bit later. At least until it warms up a bit. Then they get here very early, even waking me up somedays!!

The American Crow tried to work it...lol

Tufted Titmouse...not great. My balance has been a bit off again lately so having trouble staying steady.

Carolina Chickadee...never get a good pic regardless!! lol

White-breasted Nuthatch posing

Female Cardinal...one of many.

My very handsome male Red-bellied Woodpecker. I have norinced that he and the female show up more & more at the same time but on different trees....

ANd last male Cardinal with a little American Goldfinch hiding in the feeder!

Nice pics nanny! My Red-bellieds do the same thing.

We're having real high wind gusts here. I'm a little fearful of taking the camera/tripod out.

3 ducks including that lovely one with the funky hair-do :)

Pretty ducks! and Nanny, apparently, there is no stopping you!

It is clear that I started this thread too early in the morning hence the link mix up! I'm disappointed that no one cursed me for putting a horrible song in their heads. Must be before your time. I'll have to try again with these Inca Doves.

"...where the kisses are hers, and hers and his, three's company too!"

Beautiful photos, all of them!!

Mourning Doves not as close as Elphaba's cuties.

Two male Calif. Quail were watching over their friends that were searching for food on the ground.

Two other Calif. Quail (sorry this is so blurred)

Elphaba...that is sooo bad!!! But you threesome pic is cute!!!

Those quail take cute up a notch!!

Went down to the marina...in fact drove all around the lake and nothing to be seen! May have some bad pics of a Red-tailed Hawk and that's it. Too windy I think. The water was very choppy.

Another Blue Jay from this morning...

I wish this White-throated Sparrow would stick around for the summer.

There are a few dozen Pine Siskins still around

and a still a few Juncos

Oh Elphaba your a hoot! I remember the first song!

Beautiful Quail duc!

Claypa,Nice pics! We still have Junco but haven't seen the Siskin for a while.

I just came back from the bird store. The wind is so strong it knocked out a lot of the traffic lights on major highways. Took me a long while to get there.

Great pictures folks. Very windy here today, too.

Claypa, here is a relative of your White Throated Sparrow.

GG

BTW Elphaba, I even remember all the words to that song!

Here's a Song Sparrow (at least I think it is--). It doesn't look particularly happy.

GG

Oh I love the White-throated sparrows. WIsh they would com back to my yard. Maybe I'll see some this weekend.

LOL GG! Thank goodness. I feel much better.
I miss the white-throated sparrows too. Maybe they didn't like the songs I was singing while puttering around in the yard!

Here's another one:

"Hush lil' baby don't say a word. Pappa's gonna buy you a mockingbird, and if that mockingbird won't sing, pappa's gonna buy you a diamond ring..."

LOL Elphaba!! Now two songs are going in my head at once!
