DAILY PICS. VOLUME 220

Great pics guys!

Frank, Such a sweet shot of the Blue family!

Terrific picture everyone, but the 'Family Portrait' Ya, what a proud Dad papa that is!!! I love it.

I love it, perfect family shot!!

I thought all my Goldfinches had left, but then saw 3 yesterday on a sunflower feeder. I've taken down my thistle feeder since it wasn't being used.

Love the Bluebird pic. I really need to get a box up. I have some around. They frequently use my hook in back for a bugging perch.

Western Kingbird on the hook. I posted him once before, but could never get a front shot showing his yellow breast.

He's lovely, Red.

Frank, that photo of the family is the ultimate for me!! Wow!
Great photos everyone!!


My Calif. was enjoying his morning bath.

One of my Tree Swallows.

Duc, how did you do to get those swallow to 'rest' for you? Often time, I find them swooping all around -- nonstop. lol. Great pix, and thanks.

I believe these are our two residential Mallards. But, as I and family heading out for a skiing trip today, I'll see if I can capture more pix of the common Loon. :-)

skiing?? I hope you mean water skiing....!

Yes, water skiing, that way when I crash landing it doesn't hurt much. lol.

LOL...That's the only way to ski as far as I'm concerned. I hope you see the Loon again!

Thanks, we're taking off now, for now I've this 'lil song sparrow singing her heart out this morning. I wished I could have gotten a clearer pix, but her melody & composure made me lose mine. lol.

Wood Stork. These are really ugly birds, and so ungainly on land. Lovely to see in flight. I'll post a tiny picture of this one circling my pasture- I think he was trying to meet up with some friends, and they'd just left.

There is a rookery of wood storks not too far away. It's quite a sight to see when they decide to nest. They ALL want to nest in the same tree, so you'll get a couple dozen nests in a big old tree. Very cool to see.

Wood Stork circling pasture. You can see how large he is in comparison with the sheep and goat.

Very neat! They have beautiful feathers!

Very interesting to see those Wood Stork!

Duc...HOW did you get that swallow shot??

Frank...beatiful BB family there!!

Love the Wood Stork, Bluebird family and that awesome Swallow as well as so many more it would take forever to mention!

Thanks to everyone for the great shots on this thread...I will be starting another and will be back with a link to it.

Here is a Northern Mockingbird.

Here is a link to the new thread...see you there http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/999323/ !!
