Starting a new thread for daily photos .....
I don't spend a lot of time photographing birds in my backyard. I'm usually off visiting other favorite birding sites. However, here are a few recent backyard photos that I was able to capture. This is a photo of a Cooper's Hawk sitting atop my bird feeder. He's one reason why I don't get a large variety of birds in my backyard.
Sorry for the belated start of the new thread. I just got got home from an uneventful morning of birding.
Here's a Carolina Wren sitting on a backyard fence.

Wonderful pics Linth!
Thanks for starting the new thread! Pelle :-)
White-breasted Nuthatch working the peanut silo.
Then the male Downy Woodpecker came along and took control of the feeder.
You can just barely see the WB Nuthatches beak at the top backside of the feeder. :-)
Here they both were earlier in the day.
Great pics! Very nice one of the Mockingbird linthicum.
You're doing well with your feeders pelle! The Downy Woodpecker is a striking bird.
Two little heads peeking at me today.
Mr Blackbird was having a leisurely feather ruffle, a scratch and preen in the holly across the road.
You looking at me?
I'm off...
Gotta get out of here... they keep coming and pointing that thing at me.
Well I'm far up at the top of this tree so she can't get me.. Mistle Thrush

Very nice pics wallaby!
Gorgeous, Wallaby!!
Pelle, you've got the very same birds I've got today!! Too funny. Finally got a clear picture of my white breasted nuthatch. Think it's the same as yours, Pelle? ;)
Honest, I did wash my windows!! One more....
Love the first Nuthatch pic indiana!
They are pretty sweet; aren't they?
They are sweet, and pigs too! This one stayed at the feeders for quite some time. Kinda looks like they are wearing tuxes, don't they? ;)
Yes it does!
I can send you some of my aggressive House Finch if you want the Nuthatch to spend less time at your feeders. ;-)
Pelle, you are more than generous with your offer. And I know deep in your heart, you'd offer your sparrows to me as well. But I think I'm more than covered in those areas. :) Since you've been so generous, how about some of my Starlings?
Not a good picture, but I know this time I did see a hawk, cause everyone scampered and he was flying solo....
Another photo of my neighborhood Cooper's Hawk sitting in a tree next to my bird feeder.

Okay, how about a little help from the warbler experts ....
A Greater Yellowlegs ..... I think.
"Love is in the air" with this Barn Owl duo ....

Beautiful pics Linth!
I especially love the Eastern Phoebe!

Thanks everyone for your comments. Resin, I appreciate your ID's.
This is a photo of a male Downy Woodpecker pecking away at the hole in my bird house.
Two years ago, I bought this bird house for under $5.00. It is actually a decorative bird house not really meant for outside. I drilled a 1" hole for the house wren and hung it under my deck. I have had nesting wrens in it for the last two years. A few weeks ago, we heard this pecking noise and I thought something was pecking away on my new deck. In fact, I kept hearing the noise but didn't know where it was coming from. Finally, I discovered the source of the noise.
Linth, love your pics of the Cooper's and your owls!!
Thanks, nanny_56.
Here is another photo of the bird house. The 1" hole is now 1 1/2" in diameter. I wonder if he was actually looking for a place to live.
