same bird

Scrub Jay

Last but not least a Spotted Towhee

Very nice adel! Love the Spotted Towhee.

Thanks for starting the new thread!

Nice Crow in the last thread burn!

adel, Do you still have the bird houses up?

I had wondered what Frank Frog has been up to lately! lol

My "blonde" House Sparrow appeared again today. It has been quite awhile since I saw her last.

We had lots of American Robins in the front yard today despite the cold bustery winds we had.

Your welcome Nanny, love blondie.
Thanks Pelle.
Frank the frog is a real nice host to the Jays and Towhee.

Common Redpoll.

pelle............I took down last years houses and put up three new ones in a different area. Might be rushing the season but I would rather be early instead of late.

We still have lots of snow and I guess the birds are smart enough to know that. Not many have showed up yet. Usually see Phoebes by the 25 of Feb. but not this year

Adel, the Jays haven't found my place yet. The are in town four miles away but not up here in the hills.

Donna

rutholive''''''''''''''''We have Jays here year round.

Hi Folks! Just wanted to share these pics of the Sharp Shinned Hawk that came to visit this morning.

He caught sight of me...

And left after coming up empty at my feeders to find a tasty treat elsewhere.

A cygnet from the local lake yesterday.

Not sure if this guy is Corvus brachyrhynchos or C.caurinus,
American crow or Northwestern (2/24)

Kniphofia, now how did you get her? to pose so pretty.
great snap.

my buddy scoping out its territory-- the light marks on its beak
is the dead giveaway, besides its thievery.

Great pics everyone! My Pine Siskins are still with me.

They are so tame!

And cute

Not a very good pic of Red-Bellied Woodpecker. He has been coming around a bit more recently, for peanuts!

Got another visit by a hawk. This time I happened to see it out of the corner of my eye while it tried to catch something at the feeders. It almost landed on the feeders, but recovered and swooped to a nearby tree to rest.

another shot

Here's a pair of mourning doves sitting on the birdbath before they fly off for the night. There were many more under the deck.

Great pics everyone!

Nice Sharpie Dyanes!

Knip, That's a gorgeous cygnet!

Handsome Crow dirt!

Maggie, I love your Siskins!

evie, Glad he didn't get anything!

We're supposed to get 8-14 inches of snow tonight into tomorrow. :-(

This is unusual for us in March.

An unusual snowy morning in Alabama. This little female Northern Cardinal appreciated the extra seed I put out the night before.

Beautiful shot Julie!

ICK PELLE.

Gorgeous cardinal julie

That storm will be affecting us as well tomorrow Pelle. they're announcing just as much for us also. joy joy NOT:((. DH is getting very paranoid, got the weather channel on, morning noon, evening and night, and in between .;)
evie hawks are visiting your yard too huh? Had another one shopping in the bushes. here today.
Julie your female Cardinal looks really good, with that snowy background.

Common Redpoll.

Male Pine Grosbeak

This is the Hawk that came today.

Wonderful pics burn!

The storm is here already. I am NOT a happy camper right now!!

A Gold Finch from the nature center this morning.

I really like the Pine Siskins

Hopefully this will be the last bang of bad winter for our area luvs. Fingers Crossed!

Very nice pics! I love the Siskin too.

So what does the last sheet of toilet paper and a happy bird have in common?
Answer: The empty tissue roll.

The empty tissue roll filled with peanut butter and birdy food.
Something my ma did after reading about it in Birds and Bloom 10+ years ago.

That last one was in the morning and this one is in the afternoon
after our wonderful dreary rain.
