Welcome to the new thread, we just came from http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1099441/

Here's a Mockingbird "coming in for a landing".

Hack

Caught this male Brown-headed Cowbird feeding on the ground.

And then he flew up to a limb. He needs to wipe his mouth..

This Blue Jay was feeding and then flying up to a limb, back and forth, back and forth.

Not too far from the Cowbird sat this male Cardinal.

And for my last one, here's another Mockingbird on the ground. I didn't observe it feeding, just kinda hopping around.

hugger, great find. Right place at the right time. Were you just walling around, or did the parent lead you to the nest?

Hack

well ,I knew the nest was there I was keeping an eye on it yesterday we were taking a walk about ,I noticed fuzz heads,ran and got the camera,thank god for zoom !!! and that we took a stroll after we had spent the whole day digging. Thanks everyone.

Just had 10 Blue Crown Conures come back for some seed from my Sunflowers. There are 4 on this plant. I also have a separate thread for these guys.

I just saw 3 for sure,I wish this first shot was not blurry too cute

Great pictures on previous thread as well as this one.

Thanks to everyone on the camera advice.

Great start Hack! Now I have to back and look at the last thread.....

Thank you Hack for the new thread. In an ideal world, we shouldn't get 90'ish temp. F. here in the spring. But we do get them this weekend. Either we going to be in the bright HOT sunny place, or cool and shady. I believe the female Cardinal has chosen the latter.

Hack, I love that shot of the coming to landing Mockingbird. hg, how exciting that's to find the Robins nest and babies. Nan, I'm far behind too with so much gardening chores to get done. gardenpom, those 'paraketes' are so beautiful and look like they are having a party with the sunflower's seeds!

Check out this Carolina Wren! 3 pics

Wonderful photos on that last thread everyone!

Hack, thank you for starting the new thread with so many pretty birds.

Hugger, congratulations on the nestlings! They're adorable.

Pelle, your fluffy wren is beautiful!

I think this is a House Finch, but I'm always confusing them with the Purple Finches.

This Bullock's Oriole was just sitting on our railing and trying to stay out of the wind.

While I was out on the deck earlier, I happened to photograph this Western Wood Pewee with a very unhappy Anna's Hummingbird trying to get it to leave the area.

This California Quail male was up in a tree and guarding some other quail down on the ground.

Ya'll be rocking!

Going thru the pics...found this one of a female Cardinal.

Been out of state for awhile and not online much. Came home and the Lazuli Buntings are gone. The Painted is still visiting the finch feeder several times daily. The young bluebirds are out back quite a bit now. Had a Cooper's Hawk sitting on the BB box today, a real danger for dumb young birds. Gave him a surprise with a yellow paint ball from my wrist rocket. If someone reports a yellow-breasted Cooper's Hawk, disregard the sighting. Works on the resident geese who like to graze in my back yard, too. Doesn't physically hurt them, but they don't like it.

Had a couple of unusual visitors on the hill behind the house. Pic of one.

Baby blues on the patio.

Great pics all !

Duc, love the Oriole and the beautiful California Quail!

Nanny, Sweet one of the Northern Cardinal!

Red, the juvenile Blues are adorable!

While I was photographing the Conures, the Red-bellied WP came around too.

And the male Cardinal was also eating from the Sunflower plants.

We hear them (the wp) in our woods. would really like to see them as well.

Hack... great start to a new thread! That new lens is workin' for ya!
