Here's an old pic of a Brent [Brant] Goose to get things going

Resin

With a Common Gull [Mew Gull] with it

Nice pics guys!

Thanks for starting the new thread Debin!

We had a snow day today for the first time in years at the school I work in here in Tn. It wasn't that cold out so I decided to try some outside winter pics. I think the birds were so hungry that it didn't take them as long as usual to come back to the feeders after I set up with the camera.

Peanuts in the shell are a sure fire lure for the blue jays.

Here we go, diving in for the loot.

yumm

I have noticed lately that my mockingbirds are hanging out in a pair. The two of them don't tolerate any other birds near their berry bushes including other mockingbirds. I wonder if they stay together as mates for a long time? Here is one of them looking at me by the feeders. They supplement their winterberry diet with feeder goodies now and then.

Oops - clicked on the wrong button! Here is that mockingbird looking at me.

How about a male red-bellied woodpecker in flight?

I love your pictures, Lily!! Blue Jays are definitely my favorite!!

Dave, I've drooled over your Tufted Titmouse and Eastern Blue Bird threads. You have an amazing talent! I showed your pictures to my 10 year old daughter and she was just speechless. Just gorgeous!!

I did manage to snap off a decent Blue Jay picture, but unfortunately, the background is not nearly as nice as yours, Lily! If I could just get the Jays to pose in the correct place, that would be amazing. ;)

here's a female Cardinal feeling a bit cold today...

Very Nice pics Lily! Its nice to see the Mockingbird!

Dave,Great catch on the Red-bellied Woodpecker in flight!

Nice pics indiana! My Blue Jays didn't make an appearance today but I could sure hear them!

Lily, great pics!! That first shot is to die for! I find the jays very photogenic, so I love taking pics of them. Cardinals are a real pain.

By the way great shots everyone on the last thread!!

Dave and Lilyf: Amazing shots of birds in flight. When I try that, it's usually a vaguely bird-like blur. :)
And I love seeing the Bluejays. We have seen them only occasionally this year for some reason.
Adel: Thanks for the "cool" Quail to get things going..and Resin, for your handsome Goose.

The past few weeks the Muscovy ducks have taken to hanging out on the roof tops and in the trees.
Deb

LOL,thats cute!!

Oh, that is cute Deb!

The Mourning Doves are very cooperative too. They will sit for hours in the same spot!

Fabulous Red-bellied shot.

I got a couple of shots yesterday with 2 Downy Woodpeckers at the same time.

#2 oops!

Was looking over pics frim the first of the month and somehow I never noticed before that this one has a Dark-eyed Junco & a Downy Woodpecker in it.

Nanny: Looks like the junco was "trying not to be seen". :)

Nice pics nanny; good to see 2 Downy at once!

Neat pics nanny!

Cool scenery Adel with the Quail in the snow!

Lily the shot of the BJ swooping down is beautiful!

Dave your WP in flight is amazing too!

Debin, Love the ducks on top of the roof!

Nice Brant Goose Resin!

We may not have snow here now but it did dip down in the 20s last night, so this Mourning Dove went ice skating... Don't worry, the little pond didn't freeze. :-)

Redpolls enjoying the sun.

Another one of Redpolls, on a rare sunny day.

Munching in the shade.

debnes,Nice ice skating Dove!

Burn,I love those Redpolls!

Thank you Pelle, If you ever find a feeder, that keeps the Starlings away, let me know.


Here we have a Hairy WP on the wrong feeder.

You can really see how much large the Hairy is than the Downy in some feeder like yours.

Nice pics, burn!

I don't know why that one posted twice!

The White-breasted Nuthatches don't yet come to my feeders, but they do come near on sunny days.

Nice pic tiger! My White-breasted Nuthatch love the Peanut Silo and the Sunflower
Seed feeder. I haven't seen them go to any others yet.

A few days ago we had 4 Pileateds in our backyard at the same time. Not great pics, but here they are...

One Pilli...

2 and 3 Pilli...

4 Pilli.

That's all for now.
