Daily Pics Vol. 184

Any ideas when they might move on? They are so tame and sweet, they just eat too much! GM

2vernes, I was just looking in a bird book that I received for Christmas and it confirms what Resin said about differentiating between male and female Cedar Waxwings. It says, "They can be sexed on the basis of the black plumage present under the bill --this is more extensive in cock birds." It also says that the red tips "resemble sealing wax." Hope that's helpful.

BTW, nice pics everybody! Nanny, a Cooper's Hawk landed in the tree right above me this morning. I took two pics but I was looking into the morning sun, so they are just silhouettes. Love your pics though.

Boy, why can't I get some of thos Pine Siskins???

Over the last few weeks due to the bad pics of my hawks, I now know I have an adult and a juvenile coming. So that is interesting. I have not seen the Sharp-shinned in quite a long time now.

Male Red-bellied Woodpecker from yesterday

Nice ones GM! They'll probably leave within a month.

Neat Pileated woodpecker JulieQ.

that's a nice Hawk pic, Nanny

GM, I think your Pine Sisken has started their Journey north. Found a few more today at the feeder here.

Nanny, I printed out Mapquest directions from NJ to IN and hung them on the feeders for the pine siskins!!!!!!!! LOL!!
I hope so pelle!!!!!!

OK burn! They are all yours!

Another one of the Pine Sisken. sorry about the gloomy pics, another storm here today.

I wish the Goldfinch were as friendly as the Siskins.

Thank GM, It will add more variety to my yard. What's a few more birds for me!!!

A Dove trying hard to keep it's balance.

What yard would be complet, without Starlings!!!

And last one for now, Hairy woodpecker, a few days ago.

Thanks for understanding my excitement over the Pileated. Most of my friends would not have a clue what I was so excited about. Nice to be able to share....

That Hairy woodpecker is SOOOO cute peeking around the feeder.

Our piliated's favorite birch tree, full of its drummed holes, fell over last summer. I know he is down the hill in the woods, but afraid since that tree bit the dust, will not come where it can be seen. I can only hope it finds another nearby tree.

Mr Cardinal, making a face at me.

Great pix all.

Time for the next volume already!
