This is one I took on saturday. There have been no birds to watch today because of the heavy fog.
Cardinal, Tufted Titmouse & Dark-eyed Junco
Thanks for starting the new thread nanny; nice pic!
Very pretty trio nanny!
I hiked on birdsong trail today and found out that
a bird in the hand
is worth 2 in the hand
coming in for a landing
2 Chickadees
And lastly a Tufted Titmouse, my favorite shot of the day.
Great pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my gosh how Adorable!!!
Great shots debilu!!
That must have been fun!
Thanks Pelle and clerkie. It was a lot of fun, and today they were feeding one after another, and I frequently had 2 in my hand. A nice pick me up this afternoon.

Did you take the photos yourself? Their wonderful!
Yes, I even videotaped for a few minutes because they were feeding so frequently and I heard a woodpecker pecking in the background, so it's fun to watch that too.
That's amazing! The Titmice in my yard are so skittish, I can't imagine them eating out of a hand! Wow!
Nanny - I love your poor Miss Cardinal with the bad hair day. :)
I finally spotted a Pileated WP yesterday, but that fella wouldn't come down out of the tops of the pines. This was taken of him about ...maybe 40 feet up. Not so great, but I was so excited, that I kept the pic. :)
Deb
Thats great Debin!! I'd be excited too! Nice pic!
debilu, when you post the video be sure to give us a link to it.
I don't know how to post a video....
You would post it on Youtube or another video hosting site then put the link to it here.
Do you have to join youtube? I've never tried.
I wish this one would have been clearer!
Tufted Titmouse taking off & Junco
Great pics, everyone. We hace a lot of Tuffed Titmouse about but they are very camera shy.
Here is one from yesterday.
Trois - golly. That's all I can say about that b-jay pic. golly!
Awesome debilu!!
Hi folks, these are some great pictures! Hope it is ok for me to jump in. It has been more than a year and a half since I've visited Dave's Garden. I used to be a subscriber and my favorite forums were the wildlife forums. I can't remember there being a birdwatching forum back then. My main hobby is nature photography; mostly wildflowers and birds. I live in New Mexico. I've never seen a Cardinal or Chickadee here (in New Mexico) so your pictures are a real treat!

Well welcome back Angele! The BW forum is "new" sort-of. Started up about--what--maybe a year ago guys, am I right?
Deb
Jump in angele, we would all love to see your pics! This forum has been going just over a year now.
A Great Tit from a few days ago, high up on an Oak.
Is anbody out there a beak reader. I can't tell what this Steller's Jay is saying
Yep adlebert, it's saying "what the H*** did they put in this, Chilli??"
Sorry debilu I just got back. I would think you have to sign up to post videos.
I'm sure there must be a FAQ there.
Very nice pics guys!
Angele, Your welcome to jump in anywhere here. :-)
Thanks everybody! I'm loving your photos! Of all the photos posted so far the only I see around here is the Junco. The cardinal we have is called the Pyrrhuloxia and we have a Scrub Jay.
Here is a photo of a Phainopepla, a silky flycatcher I saw a few days ago near my home.
Nice Phainopepla! I think that's the first one we've had on this forum, thanks!

Welcome angele. It will be one of your jobs to show us wintered-out northerners a little green stuff. Can you do it? Different birds will be good enough if that's all you've got! :)
:-) original_sybil but sorry it is drab & gray here. Much of New Mexico is getting snow today. I have started some seeds and should be able to plant outside in a month. I brought in a young Bougainvillea for the winter and it is blooming its heart out in my living room. Very cheery!
Beautiful pic angela; thanks so much for a new one for us!
Thanks wallaby 1, I was thinking along the same line.
The chili made me laugh. I used to live in deer country and sprinkling chili powder on rosebuds assured me of blooming roses. Here the quail eat most of my plants so i tried chili powder on a newly planted flat of potulaca. Quail love chili powder. They mowed down the portulaca within a half hour!
She just cannot do a thing with her hair today!!
GG
Mourning Dove (?) and cardinal.
GG
Another from the feeder, yesterday.
Still another.
GG, Yes its a Mourning Dove :-) Nice pics!
Thanks trois, I love those 2.
Ooo, such nice pics everyone!!
