HURRAY!!!

Hmmm marshmallow fluff, guess these 2 don't have a sweet tooth, dirt ;0)

Burn -- apparently not. I just tried some and its definitely low-cal, in fact
must be a bad batch-- tastes like some of my cookin.
(cant boil water)

Vultures and towhee tail -- good pics
hmmm- flicker tail-
hope we can do this and not get yelled at.
(ok, just my usual bad pic)

and Burn and all:
As my garden Buddah says-

from your heart
and fill the day.

Holy guacamole! You all are busy.

Such nice birds.

Duc and Rose, you're making me drool over those beauties.

Rockminer, nice birds! you simply MUST start a whole costa rica thread when you get through those 1800 pix.

Dirt, you're cracking me up with the Plasticus species.

Dirt, cool Red-shafted Flicker! Keep an eye on those Plasticus...they are some sly birds!!

GREAT shots Pelle!! Look at all that yellow on the goldy!!
Woo Whoo come on spring!!

Rockminer, Excellent shots from Costa Rica.

Please start a thread of Costa Rican birds. You can add a few at a time, as your sort through, all those shots.

I've taken over a 1000 shots here in Hawaii, and plan to start posting a few at a time, when I get home in a week (not able to up load, on the hotel computer).

nanny: I do have to keep an eye out, somehow they got in the mudroom.
Pelle: No tail! They gotta grow back. great snap.

Rockminer, Yes please do start your own thread on the Birds of Costa Rica!

I can't wait to see more of them!

sweet titmouse

Pelle..you sure have a busy feeder...nice shots of all those different birds.

Love the Titmouse GW.

Dirt...that Plasticus cracks me up!

Here is a male Northern Cardinal..the one that has a deformed beak.

He seems to be doing well!

Thanks for your kind comments. A Costa Rica thread will start soon!

The turkeys say that spring is on the way....

Bill

Great photos everyone!!

Yesterday my first Rufous Hummingbird arrived on my feeder and I was thrilled. Last year it was March 22 when the first one got here. I've put the sighting on Pelle's Migration map-thanks Pelle!

YAY!

Gardn, That is a sweet Tufted Titmouse!

Rose, He is such a handsome boy! Great pics.

Thanks Bill; I hope the Turkeys are right! Nice one!

duc, Congrats on that beautiful Rufous; good pic!

Ha so funny here today. There's a lot of small birds in the yard and their having so much trouble flying around with the high wind gusts we're having.

I just watched one get blown back onto a feeder twice after trying to fly away.

got this one a few days ago

not sure what this is... but it was big

so cute

Nice shots onewish! Those Tufted Titmouse are adorable.

Love the Cardinal Rose great picture!!
Lucky you on the Rufous Hummingbird Duc, I knew I wanted to get to California for a reason!!
Wish, your little Titmouse is so sweet!! It looks like he is peeking out of the corner of his eye!

It probably seems as if I've been MIA. I haven't had a whole lot to post, but have been watching. What a fantastic lot of birds. Rose, I'd like to book two weeks in the brush pile in late spring please. Welcome dirt and Bill. Looking forward to the Costa Rica thread. 2vernes, I loved the Cedar Waxwings from a couple of threads ago.

I went to the other side of the bay yesterday. I've never seen this bird before and it's the best picture I was able to get, shooting into the very late morning sun. I thought it may have been a Yellow-plumed Honeyeater, but now I'm not sure. Any ideas Resin? It was probably 5" long, including tail.

There was also a family of Fairy Wrens there. I saw them a few weeks ago and the colouring on the male was more marked than it was yesterday. They are difficult to photograph because they are so active and so tiny. They were aware of my presence and even hopped around on the grass at the edge of the dense scrub. Couldn't get any photos of them in the grass, because even though the grass was short, it was longer than them. Resin?

Here's another shot. I'll see if I can find a shot from a few weeks ago when the colouring was more marked.

I love the Fairy Wrens! Nice shots Margaret!
