DAILY PICS VOL. 110

nanny....looks like a Great Crested Flycatcher-they often have a fork-tailed look

Old Ned I think you could be right! The size didn't look right for an Eastern Phoebe and I think that's the only one we get here, not sure. Sure glad I took that pic...another one on the list!

Here's a back view of one our nesting phoebes

Another new one Resin ID'd for me today... Immature male Summer Tanager...have to be on the look out for the adults now, plus the Scarlet Tanager!

LOL Nanny, you have the market cornered on the bandits, first the Raccoon, then the Common Yellowthroat. Great shots!

Great shot of the Green Heron Frank.

I must be tired, I actually clicked on Bea's bird poop pic to look at it. lol The finch pic is pretty though.

Congrats on the Waxwings Angele! I'm still waiting on them.

Too many great pics to comment on... Bed time!

Great pictures everyone. UniQue Treasures, wonderful shot of that Cardinal. I can never get a good picture of them.

Yep Elphaba, I take pictures in the rain. Lately, if I didn't take pictures in the rain, I wouldn't be able to take pictures. Gosh, but it has been wet.

Tomorrow the Meow Mix feeder goes up in the backyard. I wonder if the Blue Jay and Woodpecker will still be interested in the food if they don't have the fun of swiping it out of the cat's dish.

Do let us know GG!

Yes, sooo many good pics here!

An Indigo Bunting has started coming to the yard to feed. That is so much easier for me to get pics! I told him to tell his buddy Scarlet Tanager about the services here! LOL

Beautiful pics everyone!

Congrats on the new birds nanny!

Hehe, Nanny, now that I have seen the Cedar Waxwings, next on my list is Scarlet Tanager. A sighting isn't likely here but I'm still hoping. 2nd and 3rd on my list are Summer Tanager and Indigo Bunting.

angele, my Dh keeps telling me its a good thig I have goals! LOL

Had a pair of Indigo Buntings today. Yippeee!

So cute!!

Did not spend much time outside, my patio thermometer registered 98 degrees. Here is a Blue Jay.

Terrific pics Pell! Glad to see some of yours again...LOVE the Hawk! PS Thanks burn.

Great shot of the Hawk pelle!

I'm amazed at all the 'new' birds being posted,

The House Martins have turned up again at the neighbours, they nest on the north side under the eaves. They didn't appear last year for some reason.

I got one dropping from the nest but it was in the shadows.

Here's the House Martin in the nest adding bits of mud to the edges, it kept turning around as if to try it out for size and seemed very particular over the placing of the mud. This nest was already there in part, they rebuild them.

Thats neat wallaby! Their very pretty!

Today there was also a Swallow on the electric cables, I don't remember the last time I saw one.

Barn Swallow.l

They are prety pelle, nice to watch them fly too.

I got a shot of the Swallow as it took off from the cable.

I always see the Tree Sparrows in flight around here catching bugs so they look like a crazy roller coaster in the air.

See you later Gator

How do you like my perm?

(Steller's Jay)

I love that perm,lol!

Nice pics pelle!

Love all the swallow pics!

Well shot forgot to post my pic!

I have Starling fledglings too...they are lacking in looks and personality!

Oh I rather like the fledgling starlings :)

Nice pics; those fledglings are really loud. :-)

I was just wondering if any of our photographers have ever captured a Cowbird baby being raised and fed by another type of bird....since their eggs are left in other species nests?

I have seen a pic; can't remember who posted it.

I would be interested in seeing some, so please post if you have any. Maybe you can start a new thread for those.
