DAILY PICS VOL. 29

Tigerlily, That little bundle of energy is a Ruby-crowned Kinglet. Always on the move, hovering and darting.

Very nice pics tiger!!!

Her are my babies, they were sat on the cherry tree as dusk fell, but flew off as I approached to the roof top over the road.

Just to show that I got a pic of the Jay which you can see is a Jay, I took this 2 days ago. I saw a bird flying into the trees at a distance, going kaaark, then another flew in with it. I snapped where it flew in, and lo and behold, you can see one jay and another blue wing to the right of it.

Moments later a Magpie flew across the front of the trees at the back of the field, another long shot but you can see the colours.

I'm wondering if the 3 birds at the back of this pic are Ravens, there seemed to be some disturbance going on. They look much larger, the beaks look huge and paler at the top,

Of course they all look smaller on here!

These pheasants later in the day were feeding, with two cocks nearby as it was falling dusk. They have poor eyesight in poor light, I managed to walk up to within 15-20 yards of them before they spooked.

This one was starting to worry.

One flew, both males had a lready done a runner leaving the ladies in the lurch.

It took a while longer for the other one to realise I was there.

Holy cow!! I've been run ragged this past week or so and haven't been birding or posting. What a TREAT this daylily thread is!! The best one yet. Its so good to see you back posting Linthicum. your photos are so wonderful. And the wealth of IDing info being shared is so valuable. tigerlily, wallaby, pell, nmjane, claypa and EVERYBODY (too many to name lol)... thanks for posting these great pics!

Nice pics wallaby!

So beautiful, how the colours of the field match the ones of the pheasants. Beautiful pics, Wallaby!

Thanks pelle, lilyfantn, and bonitin!

The female Pheasant is well camouflaged, they nest in grass often on water drain banks so need to be the right colour. The male just has to look pretty enough to attract the female!

***Original_ sybil will be starting the next DP thread soon***

Thanks Resin, the original pic shows them much better! It seems Jackdaws and Rooks often flock together.

hey, look who showed up today.

Very cool; Nice pic of the Northern Flicker Mrs Ed!

Yah, been a while since one was in the yard. But usually pretty common.

Don't you just love 'em? Their call (song) makes me feel like I'm in a jungle too. They are such pretty birds, and great picture Mrs. Ed. :)

I'm stuck.

I just love your flicker photo MrsEd. I don't see them very often here in Tn. I used to see them all the time on Long Island. I miss them!

Love your crow adel. (is that what it is?)

I'm calling it a Crow unless I'm corrected. The bill is smaller than the ravens around here and the over all size is smaller.

Yep, American Crow.

Here's the same flicker on the ground. I enjoyed watching him push around the starlings.

And a Downy Woodpecker finally finds the new log feeder.

What a great feeder! That reminds me that I haven't put out any peanut butter yet. I just slather it on the tree bark lol.

Hi Mrs Ed, Thats a female Red-bellied Woodpecker in post
