Daily Pics Vol 190

What a cute feeder! And feedee!

This Pine Warbler first ate some suet.

That roadrunner brings back a memory. I lived in Tucson while in grad school 10 years ago and I had weaver finches. I would put them out some days on the concrete slab in front of my student housing apt. One day a roadrunner tried to eat my birds. They were extremely traumatized. And hung by one leg for hours but they eventually were okay. They say birds are dinosaurs. So I guess they smelled like a reptile and food to him.

Then she went to my grape tree and surveyed the yard.

Next she flew to the ground and started gathering all the little feathers and putting them in a pile.

When she finished finding all the feathers in the yard she picked them all up and flew away. I guess she is building a feather bed for her babies.

DH has deemed the toe broken...will just have to be easy one it for a few days.

Jane LOVE your roadrunner pic and Frank you are really busy there!!

Did somebody saw Grackle???

Nice ones frank!

so, nanny, you must have sent those up here to me.

Here are a couple shots of the female red winged blackbird from a couple of days ago.

And there she goes!

Love the 2nd shot Dave!

OK let's do the same with a gold finch.

As you can see, these were taken in the snow.

Beautiful!

Nanny, that gives you an excellent excuse to stay put and observe your birds. I love that new bird feeder, Deb. I'll bet "Nutkin" and his friends have a great time swinging. Thanks for the great pics, Dirt, Frank, Nanny, and Rose. Boojum, we camped in Tucson twenty years ago. It rained (very unusual for that area, I guess.) I still have the photo that DH took of a Sajuaro Cactus with a rainbow in the sky behind it. Goodnight, Juney, Mrs. Ed, Pelletory, and whoever else may still be here. See you tomorrow.

Thanks, Pelle. I think I'll tie a knot in this one and start Vol 191. See you on the flip side.

Nice pictures everyone. Thanks wbbirdwoman. pelle aand Luvs.
Love that Roadrunner, Jane. Margaret you wouldn't believe, how much I'm longing for Spring. I have lots of little pots of dirt in my laundry room, with a little bit of green poking out of them.
