DAILY PICS VOL. 185

I still haven't seen a Red-headed Woodpecker. Nice shot Frank!

He is such a hunk of a guy Rose! :-)

The armadillos are out looking around. The temp here is going to be in high seventies tomorrow.

Frank I haven't seen any Red-heads yet...how early are the gators?

Well thanks everyone for the spring updates.

I just got a call from my Mom who told me that she had a huge flock of robins in the yard today. *happy dance*.

I know they are staying around all winter, more and more but a whole flock! Her bluebirds have returned too.

I saw the first gator a week ago. There were two out yesterday. Being cold blooded they don't come out of there winter dens till the water warms enough.

No photo..but I had my first Red-winged Blackbird at the feeder today!! Later I could hear one singing while I was cleaning up more in the yard. 60 today at my house...snow showers possible over the weekend...UGH!!!!!

The American Goldfinch are turning...

The Goldfinches are gone from my yard for now. I expect that the next time I see them they'll be yellow!
I am also hearing a lot of new bird song and I love it.
Here is a pic I took of a Carolina Chickadee resting on my Purple Martin house

I forget what a group of Turkeys is called, and I only got a couple in this picture, but they were part of one of the largest flocks of Wild Turkeys I had ever seen. I bet there was at least 20 of 'em.

Nuisance !!!

I saw this Robin in the grass adjacent to my office building. A sure sign of Spring!

irisMa, are you saying that group of Turkeys is called a nuisance?

Rose, so glad that your little Dickcessel made it. He is looking very handsome!

Purple Finch was here again yesterday...if he came today I missed him.

I also got a pic of some Killdeer that were hanging out with the Robins

I did a little research and one site said a group of Turkeys was called a Flock and another said they were called Rafters.

Great pictures everyone.

todays lot-- a lonely junco who sat quietly in the middle of a rhodie for at least thru a cup of coffee.

a bit of sunshine this AM.

Then rain and who made this mess?!!

From everyone comments, it seem that spring is in the air.There were great pictures posted here, it really filled up fast.. Now it's time to follow this link to the new thread. http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/956894/

Here in the summer when turkeys scratch up our iris seedlings they are a nuisance. OK at this time of year except for the flock in Rockport, MA which chase the mailman.
