It took a long time for this handsome Blue Jay to come out from behind the branches.

The mystic look of this M. Dove under the dogwood's branches.

That's lovely Lily!

Beautiful pics, Pelle...especially the Cardinal.

All beautiful, but duc, that Tree Swallow is fabulous.

Some late visitors.

Freeze warning tonight. Tender plants covered, sprinklers running.

A Scrub Jay coming in for some peanuts.

Beautriful jay pelle.

Love your dove shot Lily1

Was down by the lake yesterday and out Tree Swallows are back. I would love to get a good photo of one!

Bad morning light, but caught this robin gathering nesting material...

I think this is a Downy Woodpecker that came by yesterday (Rendon, TX - just SE of Fort Worth). It's a little dark, but looks better in the full-sized image.

Awesome shots everyone. Love the Blue Jay Pelle really sharp! I have to agree that the tree swallow is beautiful! Lily your "mystic look" is neat!

wow amazing pic fo the scrub jay

go here for new thread (vol. 201) http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/971832/

Hello everyone,
I'm new to this site, and finally have a minute to get on the computer. Just this morning I snapped this pic of a pileated woodpecker on my suet feeder. Iv'e seen his mate as well this spring so hopefully they will nest in the woods behind our house again this year. If I'm real lucky I might get pics of the babies too!!

Hi & welcome grreat to see that you have the pileated too! aren't they so cool?!

In the post above your is the link to the new thread...why don't you repost it over there so more folks will see it and know that your are new here.

SO glad to have you join us!!!

sapphirelotus, congrats on the P. woodpecker nesting and return. Welcome to the forum. Please come and join us on the above continuing thread.

wow great pics just love birds of all kinds

I love the Pileated WP's as well. Unfortunately, they are rare around here. Lots in the pine forests of Eastern OK and I've seen one just a few miles east of here in Little River State Park. I've seen several at Lake Murray State Park.

I just have Downies and a Red-belly.

We have Downies, Redheads, Hairies, and Pileated. Unfortunately, we also have Cedar siding, so our house has lots of "artwork" from their creative pecking. I love my birds though. We have lots of different kinds. I have been trying to entice some bluebirds, but the house I built for them has attracted a pair of chickadees instead. Oh well, maybe next year. I am still happy with the fact that my house has tenants.

good luck on the baby thing since I have three couples on my property and in two seasons of babies didnt get to see them till they started to fallow the parents and by that time they looked like adults minus some of the colors havent seem them in a few weeks but I can hear them every morning hard to miss the sound
