Daily Bird Pics Vol. 385

beautiful BW,nice...I have lens envy.We went Eagle watching saw 2 adults, 5 juvies were out soaring....We have year round Eagles again,after what 30 yrs ?? So great,wish I had a better Digital..

so sorry that was a bad one,well not that any were any good anyway .here is a better one,I think !

So badd too..LOL cant see those thumbnails,I think this 1 is a better bad one

Grasmussen, how far was this Waxwing from the camera? Lovely shot that!

If I hang a suet cage with Hot Pepper Suet in it on the tree, will the woodpeckers come more often?

Sorry it's so dark, but I think you can see it is a Robin! First one I have seen this year, I guess I can put this my book of Lifers! Could have gotten a closer pic, but my battery went kerflooey!

same picture, I tweaked it a little bit.

Burn, so cute a Chickadee, hg isn't great Eagles are making a come-back? We've a nest nearby I haven't been over the nesting site a couple of week, I need to go back there and see how big the Eaglets haved grown. Garry gorgeous Bohemian Waxwing, what kind of berries are those? Teddy, you may have an Eastern Blue Bird there, though I can't be sure.

We have a Cottonwood tree out front which attracts a lot of ants, will that help with the woodpeckers?

Hi Teddy, Yes they will come if you hang the hot pepper suet in the tree (as soon as they see it.).

I might be wrong but that looks like a Robin in your photo.

Hugger, That last shot is nice!!

Gary, Great colors on the Waxwing!

I thought of modifying the upside down feeder, I thought of putting something between the feeder and the shepherds hook stem for the Pileated Woodpeckers to rest their tail on as they eat. Everyone keeps telling me about the Hot Pepper Suet cakes and how great they are, but unfortunately I can't get that right now, so I have to make do with what I got. I was thinking a wooden board, but I can't think of how to fasten it to the feeder. Advice would be helpful.

My hubby took this last summer, I am SO ready to see this little lady again!

Great photos everyone. By the way a new thread has been started at the following link ....
