DAILY PICS VOL. 64

Five..

Very good, wallaby1. That's the best look I have seen of a Blue Tit.

Male Pine Grosbeak.

Finally, why don't you go away so I can eat those nuts! (I had hung a net with peanuts and suet balls nearby).

Thanks trois, the Blue Tit had flown to the string of nuts but saw me nearby, it was waiting 'im'patiently, lol!

GrannyGrunt - We call that "peanut envy."

BRRRRRRRR Grasmussen - where do you think our cold air is coming from ! LOL.

burn - I found this one too... is that the one? Is it one?

wallably - you have the best looking storybook birds! Adorable.

Wow nice shots guys!
Love the Cardinal and Blue Jay trois!

Wallaby,Great pics of the Blue Tit!

Love the Pine Grosbeak burn!

Dark-Eyed Junco

I was thinking this one.

Lol,burn, I didn't see the one on the right.

I dont either, pelle! I only saw the one in the middle that I took the pic of. (kinda like "find the acorn" in birds n blooms)
ha ha GM. But maybe I just didnt see him and he was hiding there!

They are adorable sybil, thanks pelle!

I almost feel guilty having warmth and sunshine when so many of you are frozen! This is a rare occurrence though, making up for lost time!

Does a Starling fit a storybook? They are so pretty as well as sharp, would be OK for the wicked witch!

Great pictures all of you.

Does a Starling fit a storybook?

LOL,Not in any books I own. :-)

Well, Pelle, maybe you need new books! Everyone is a star...(ling). Didn't you know?

LOL!!!:-)

Nice pics debnes!

Yes lots of storys etc. that mention Starlings. They are a beautiful bird.

That is a lovely poem Deb, thanks for finding it!

I got a pair of Common Buzzards today, they were gliding high and I wouldn't have seen them if I had not been up the road with my camera. I have never seen one before, to get a pair means they may stay longer here, they are usually in Wales and Scotland I guess where it's more mountainous.

They kept crossing paths, I got them together.

A closer shot of one,

Perched on top of the feeder so he can better guard the peanut supply!

Wow, that is a wonderful shot of the buzzard! It is beautiful. The next time someone calls me an old buzzard, I'll thank them!!

This thistle sock was up for three weeks. No one showed any interest at all. Yesterday I moved it -- and today was rewarded by these little guys munching in the snow!! I believe they are Lesser Finch??

GG

Lol GG! They are very graceful in flight!

A Tree Sparrow, House Sparrow male and female probalby HS.

Great pics - do you suppose any of my feathered friends would be interested in frozen cranberries?

the birdfeeder was making for some odd dining companions yesterday.

Very nice pics nanny!

Wonderful posts & photos everybody.
Nanny those 'pairs' are just amazing... wow! Gotta say I'm in love with Janet's Blue Tit series.
I had a great hike in Yapple Canyon today. The canyon was full of birds and song. I've got 4 photos to post from the hike & one from home.
1st is a cactus wren.

2nd is a Northern Flicker. I saw 2 pair of these but they are so quick to fly off I can't seem to get a good photo from outdoors.
