I'll start this one off with a "Butter Butt" on the feeder (Yellow-rumped Warbler).
Deb

I was very pleased to have this little fella posing for me in the late day shade. :)
Deb

Beautiful pics Debin! Thanks for starting the new thread!

LOL That's a good description of the little fellow, Deb. Elphaba, that's the first time I've seen an Orange Crowned Warbler. That's what I love about this forum: it gives us the opportunity to share photos with those from other areas who may not have a particular bird where they live. BTW, for the past two years I've had a RC Kinglet visit our feeder. I'm not giving up this year. I love to watch that little guy.

I love "Butter Butt" and my husband agrees - he says this is much easier to remember than "that other thing you said" :)

I remeber when I saw my first "Butter Butt" last winter...I was so excited!!! They are such cute little things.

Just had a few from yesterday afternoon as I was somewhat ocuppied so not much time for taking photos.

This female Cardinal was just posing so pretty for me...

Mourning Dove....

Male Cardinal & Mourning Dove at the feeder.

Starling looking pretty...

And last from yesterday....Mr. Red-winged Black-bird sitting in the tree. Actually I had two males here at the same time so that was a good thing!!

Deb, your "Butter Butt" is really cute-love that attitude shot!

Nanny, great pictures and a nice variety of colors.


Northern Flickers are always here, but this one seemed to be enjoying the rain.

This Oak Titmouse loves to serenade its mate.

Papa cardinal on the tippy top of a pear tree.

Another Oak Titmouse.

The Oak Titmouse is so adorable!

Great pics guys!

duc, I love those Oak Titmouse their so adorable! The Flicker is such a handsome one!

Butter butt-too funny
The titmouse is just too cute!

ducbucin: I love the singing Titmouse.

DH said that my little butter-butt pal was giving us his best "Audobon pose" :)
Deb

I still prefer 'myrtle warbler' I wish they wouldn't change things, but 'butter butt' is cute. I saw my forst 'orange shafted' flicker at sister in law's house in CO. Didn't realize that they had the red mustache instead of the black one.

Thanks for the new thread Deb...Nice pics to start, love the YR Warbler...mine seem to have disappeared.

Nanny...you are queen of the yard birds!! Hope things are going well for you...no pun intended!!

Duc...the Oak Titmouse is just too cute for words!

Here is an Eastern Meadowlark from yesterday! (Every time I see one I think of Mrs. Ed)

American Goldfinch in the front yard.

Another Goldfinch.

A Downy Woodpecker in the walnut tree.

Last one...a male Cardinal. This is the one that has been around for awhile with a deformed beak. He seems to be doing fine.

I lied...here is a better one showing his beak.

Things went splendidly...nothing to have to be removed!!!!!

I got this series of Turkey Vulture shots while in the yard this afternoon.

duc, I am gonna have to come steal the little titmouse...too cute!

Rose, that meadow lark is stunning!!

This is my favorite shot from today...and I thought it would be the worse one!!

Dellrose, that Meadowlark is beautiful!! I've never seen one 'for real".
Nanny: Great job catching that fellow in flight!
Deb

I remember hearing the meadowlarks as a child & after WWII houses were suddenly built on their fields. I don't hear them around here, which seems strange as there are open pasture lands.

an interesting artcle my wife spotted

Tiger..........just saw your post about the Eagle, didn't know you had already posted it. Sorry about that.

Great shots here!

Rose I love the Meadowlark and Goldfinch!

Nanny Nice catches of the Vulture!

Spring is in the air here in New Mexico; so I decided to sit outside today and watch the birds. Here's a curve-billed thrasher. They look so mean; but they are actually very gentle and have the sweetest sounding song.

Cactus wren

Here's a white-winged dove sitting in the middle of one of my ground feeder bowls.

It's not a bird; but this little cottontail love bird seed and has better "table manners" than the dove.
