My gosh just look at that, we are on volume #197 already for this year! Looks like it will be a banner year for the Birdwatching Forum here on Dave's, and that is soooo exciting!
It is so good to see so many new folks who enjoy bird watching and have found us here. Do keep joining in and sharing your wonderful pics with all of us.
Mr. Robin says he want more!! lol
We came from here http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/966872/
He was so cooperative to sit for me. If only I hadn't had the camera on the wrong ISO setting! LOL
ah well....
So now I know why my photos have been so awful this month. I checked everyhting except the ISO. But I did manage a few good ones. Like these of this female Cardinal the other day.
so pretty...
and thankful too! lol
pair of Canada Geese passing overhead...
We had a little pause in the rain this morning. The worse is still to come tonight and tomorrow. We had tornadoes to the north and south of us but the birds here were enjoying the sunlight. The bluebirds are doing fine.
A Red-bellied Woodpecker came to visit this morning.
A Mourning Dove was the first visitor this morning.
Hi nanny, Very nice pics! Thanks for starting the new thread!
Frank,Nice pics! I'm partial to the Red-bellied. Liked your parting shot on the last thread. :-)
Thanks for the new start Nanny...and very nice shots of your Robins, Geese and Cardinals. I have got tons of Cardinals also!
Nice ones Frank..of course I just love the Bluebird..such a pretty colored one too. Have they built a nest yet? I see they were going in the nest box in the last thread?
Here is my daily male Cardinal shot! LOL!
This female Cardinal cracked me up. Those Cards can get the funniest looks on their face!

Mourning Dove are the early one, every morning, at the feeders here too Frank, first winter to have had so many of them. Lovely shot of of the Red-bellied WP.
Rose , those are nice. I love the Cardinals, maybe because I don't see them here, but how I wish.The Brown- headed Cowbird have shown up with the Grackles and the Red-winged Blackbird last week.
Adel that was a nice picture of the Quail on the previous thread.
The Redpolls are still around, but in smaller numbers.
Another shot of a Common Redpoll.
Dirty Hairy.
One of the many Starlings, stealing the WP suet.

Mrs Ed, Love the Brown Creeper!
"Dirty Hairy" Love it!!
Mrs Ed Brown Creeper shot is terrific!
Rotten gray, rainy day to match my rotten, aching tooth!!
luvgrtdanes, sorry about your aching tooth. Hope you get to feel better, great pix everyone. Here is a Cardinal for Burn_2007 since you don't get them there. I've a couple that are courting and building nest somewhere nearby the feeder, but I haven't found out the secret nest they're building. I saw the female yesterday with a straw in her beak.
The next wave of storms has started here.
The male bluebird from this afternoon.
The female still nest building.
Gorgeous shots everyone.
I managed to get a few shots of a White-tailed Black Cockatoo this morning. This one is a male and was waaaay up the top of a eucalyptus in our yard. There's been a flock around for the last couple of weeks. They are large birds, (21-24"), with the most lovely, slow, undulating flight. They are under constant pressure because of habitat destruction. The federal government very recently stepped in to prevent (who know for how long) the University of Western Australia from selling land it has held for close on a century, for housing. The land is one of the few remaining remnants of the Black Cockatoo's nesting ground in the metropolitan area.
Another shot not long before he flew off.
Hope you feel better soon luvs!
Great pics guys!
Love the Cockatoo Margaret!
another new life list for me today. At sunrise a Fox Sparrow kicking up the leaves and seeds.
Nice pics everyone...love the Black Cockatoo's Margaret, gorgeous bird!
Love the Dirty Harry Burn...too funny! It sure is nice to see those Redpolls too!
Congrats on the BB's nesting in the cool box you built for them Frank! They sure didn't waste any time!!
Mrs. Ed...Congrats on another new bird...I just love those Fox Sparrows. They always look so big to me and are sure fun to watch them scratching around!!
Here is a male Cardinal from a few days ago.
Another one...just because he cracks me up!
Last one...male Purple Finch.
HA...Frank just saw the 'end' shot on the last thread ...LOVE IT!!!!!
This such a bad pic...it was almost 7 last night when I spotted my first Brown Thrasher for 2009!!! Itwas just a singing and talking it's little heart out!! LOL
They are one of our very favorites during the summer!
I agree, that "end" shot was adorable!!
Goodness, I just love everyone's photos. All the birds are amazing. Margaret, glad that land is being saved for the birds. Hope the habitat lasts a long time.
A close-up shot of my friendly American Crow.
An Oak Titmouse
