DAILY PICS VOLUME #78

Hi Everyone.

We came from HERE:

http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/822618/#new

The birds have abandoned my yard for the past couple of days so I had to reach into the "archives."

Male Northern Cardinal.

Beautiful pic Mrs Ed! Thanks for starting the new thread!

Got my seed! GM

Nice pics GM!

I'm trying the re sizer again. What ever I'm doing, it's not right. The only time it lets me resize a pic is when I want to e-mail a Pic, then it gives me the choice of small medium and large. I've had this program all along.

adel, you have to do it through My Pictures on your computer.

Right click on a thumbnail and a menu will come up w/ "resize pictures" in it.

Chose Medium and it will make the new picture.

Can't be done when your in Picasa/

Loved the pics everyone. Seeing the goldfinch made me remember the one I saw a few days ago - his front area was starting to turn brighter yellow. I'm new to bird watching and was wondering if this is about the time the males get their summer colors. I only have seen one that was brighter out of the dozens that dine at my feeders. Eleanor

Just got around to looking at all of the wonderful pictures in the last volume. Wallaby any time you want to ship some of those cute little blue tits over here, please feel free. They are adorable.

Dini, love the doves and the birdbath, too. Gosh but that Hornbill has a big beak!!

Nanny 56, great shots, good captions (like the cow, too), N.M. Jane, adelbert, everyone, great pictures.

He's looking up, for some reason. I thought it was a crow, but then saw the coloration of the Grackle.

They eat all of the food I put down for my groundfeeders!

Little White Breasted Nuthatch hanging around the feeder. Rested there for the longest time.

Mourning Doves...clearly a little springfever going on here!!

It was very windy here today. Made for a difficult hair day for this pretty lady.

Forgot to say thanks Mrs. Ed for the new thread!! Those Grackles are always looking up.! LOL

I not sure the Mrs. was really enjoying the preening/pecking on her head!

Nice pics guys!

Hi grammyphoeb,
The American Goldfinch should be starting to turn a little brighter color now; adelberts are Lesser Goldfinch and not American Goldfinch. His usually stay the same color.

This problem didn't start until I downloaded Picasa, so I uninstalled it. I've been trying to post through my pictures. One problem I have is the new Vista program on this computer is not compatable with some of the programs out there. Here goes again.

Did it make another photo for you that says (medium)?

More photos from the St. Augustine FL Alligator Farm. The Snowy Egrets are starting to nest.

The Wood Storks are still adding sticks to their nests.

Wow, Outstanding shots bsharf!!!

The Great White Egrets are busy with their nests.

Grooming its feathers.

You're all welcome. I went out today to take some pictures but didn't get much good. I had two nice sightings but could not get a picture. One was a goldeneye duck and the other a sandhill crane.

But here you go instead… Canadian Geese.

Very nice pic Mrs Ed!.

Their actually called Canada Geese. Canadians are people.

I made the same mistake a long time ago. :-)

Thanks Mrs_Ed for starting the new thread. Cardinals are always strikingly beautiful.

GM :) cute Chickadee

Jane: I didn't send you the Starlings, SEE, they're still here. Love your Owls pic.

Nanny, love is in the air.

Adel, very colorful birds

pelle.............the only time it gives me a choice of size is when I tell it to e-mail a pic.

bsharf; Wow

Your Geeses are really nice Mrs_ Ed

Mourning Dove

The XP Image Resizer won't work with Vista. I've looked around and found this, don't know how good it is though.

GG, lovely colour on the Grackle! The cute little Blue Tits said they are happy here thanks, lol!

Great shots bsharf!

Canada Geese eh? Well, I learn something new every day.

How 'bout these duckies…
Resin or someone, want to chime in on their ID?

I was thinking Mallard, but there are some with green heads and some with purple/blue.

Thanks wallaby. Well, okay, if the Blue Tits are happy there-----. That means you need to keep posting pictures of them! They are sooooooooooo adorable!

A female red bellied woodpecker!

Great pics today everyone, been in "town" all day and it's nice to have this forum to visit!

Mrs.Ed thanks for starting the new thread and that beautiful pic of the Cardinal! (I always used to call them "Canadian Geese" too)!!

Just a few pics in bad light late today...

This Northern Meadowlark is trying out for American Idol!

He got voted off!

adelbertcat, if you want to check this site,

http://www.windowsvistaplace.com/vista/windows-photo-gallery

I like Windows Photo Shop Live (the correct name is Windows Live Photo Gallery) and it lets you resize pictures. It also has a nice cropping, editing feature. According to this web site, it is packaged with Vista.

For what it's worth.

dellrose, did he get voted off because he was previously a male stripper? LOL

Rose, I just LOVE that bird.

Nanny...could be...he sure is a show off!! LOL!

Thanks Mrs. Ed...they are really noisy birds but they sing so beautifully (same song of course)! LOL!

That last pic was resized to med and turned out way too big...and looks worse not!! Grrrrr

Here is a White Breasted Nuthatch that stayed forever posing and watching and me out of focus...darn!!

The Downy Woodpeckers are spending a lot of time together and feeling very frisky...yes spring is in the air!

Hey, I know these aren't birds, but check out the burl 'n' squirrels photo I took today while looking for some birdies.

That's a cool picture Mrs. Ed. That squirrel is just "lookin' around"!
