Rose, Lovely pics of the female Red-bellied and Downy Woodpecker!

Seed, Congrats on the White-breasted Nuthatch! Their a fast but delightfully friendly little bird!

So many beautiful photos, especially Rose's of her Cardinal. I call this one "Feathered Potpourri. It was taken during our most recent snowfall.

Gee, you all have been at it again...way to many great pics to comment on!!

How I broke my toe...we have this handy dandy pole similar to a short shower curtain rod that we put in the sliding door for security right. When not in use it is laying there on floor right in front of the door..sometimes with the one end still in the door jam. I come in thru the door took off my shoes as they were muddy and proceeded to go in and OW!!! hit that baby dead on REAL HARD with my toe!!!! = Broken Toe... LOTS of really bad words followed. LOL

Not a great variety comign to the yard right now...and all the grackles don't help. But got several cardinal shots while I was outside yesterday afternoon.

This little girl was so cooperative for me!

I'm loving all these images! Good job folks!
Saw my FOY Osprey yesterday........a sure sign spring will soon be upon us.

Could have been really good if not for the shadow.

Tiger...great shot of your Osprey!!!!

Last one for me...

Thanks Pelle and Mrs. Ed.

WBW..Nice selection on the Feathered Potpourri...I wish I could get a Towhee into the yard. They are always up in the brush piles!

Here is a Tufted Titmouse at the farthest corner of our farm...still haven't gotten a pic in the back yard..quick little stinkers!

Way to break a toe Nanny!! I had a cow step on mine once and broke it...I know how it can hurt. Pretty little female Card!

Beautiful Osprey Tiger...makes me miss Aussie and Mum...

A Carolina Chickadee at the far corner!

The male Cardinal with the weird beak is still around.

Last one from the far corner...a sweet little Junco!

Linth, I had the pleasure of seeing a flock of White-winged Crossbills a few weeks ago but wasn't able to get any shots, yours is great! Congrats

Nanny~love the pesky little chipmunk!

GP~ The Collared Dove is so pretty!

I'll never tire of seeing Dav's bluebirds!!

Wallaby~ love the lady pheasants!!

Dellrose~ nice shot on the White-crowned Sparrows!

Seed~ nice to see another bird fanatic!! LOL Pretty Cardinal!

Rose16~ I love how the cardinals brighten a day too!

Wbbirdwoman~ Your "Feathered Potpourri" is perfect!!


These two doves just reminded me of an old married couple for some reason!!

OK, Dellrose: as soon as I can, I'm going out to buy me a really good camera, so I can take photos like you and the rest of the Bird Forum Gang.
:-)

Yes, "Mrs. Loves Great Danes," I think you're right. My DH would probably agree. LOL

The photos are great everyone. I got a kick out of the pheasants with the kitty from Wallaby. Love the Cardinals too! Dellrose, that sweet Junco looks so happy and warm all fluffed up. I think it's so cute when the Doves stay so close to each other.

Rose16, That's a beautiful shot with the Cardinal in the middle!

Nanny, Lovely shots of the female Cardinal! They always seem more cooperative to me.

Dellrose, Great shots! Love the Titmouse and Junco.

wb, Love the Feathered Potpourri with the beautiful Towhee!

luvs, Yes they probably are an old married couple. :-) Nice pic!

Nanny lovely Cardinal, I like the females better than the males, they are just so sweet and innocent looking!
Tiger~ great catch on the Osprey!
Dell the Junco is sweet, I have such a hard time catching one still!

We're overrun with Canadian geese here but they still look so regal at times...

This little White Crowned Sparrow posed for quite a few minutes.

Just the little posers!

Very nice pics luvs! White-throated Sparrow :-)

Thanks Pell, that little guy sat there at least 10 minutes!!

Their such a sweet lovely little bird!

Well I did have a male Cardinal that sat still for a couple of shots...

But the female in the pics above and another one were both trying to get this guy's attention!!

This little male House Finch was solo too...

Handsome one tiger!

You guys are running wild with your posting!!! Took me a good while to catch up. Amazing photos on this and last thread.
Gary, i agree with Resin, for the streaking on the flank, a bit to pronounced on your Redpoll. The white Rump is a sure mark of one, sometime they will have a tinge of rose showing there as well.
Here's one in flight coming in to the plate. note the amount of streaking on the flank, and the under tail. so much whiter.

Showing the rump with a bit of rose.

Thanks burn.
Ive got lots of Common Redpolls, with nothing else to photograph I've taken a lot of pictures of them, in the last two days.

This is a female all puffed up against the cold. She is one of the more tan colored birds.

Another tan female, but lighter than the first bird.

A male with a good amount of pink on the breast.

A male Common Redpoll with a deep pink breast.

This male has less brown streaking on the breast, than the ones above..

More white and less pink on this males breast.

Finally a female with a nearly white breast, except for the streaking. There is considerable color variation from one individual to the next.

Great pics Gary!

Look what I found in the neighbor's yard! The male wouldn't stay around long enough to get a picture of him. If I can't attract them to our yard, I'll just go down to the neighbor's to enjoy them!
