Time for a new thread so let's get started..
We came from here: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/971832/
I have been seeng a lot of the titmice lately. They can be the cutest things (if they would just sit still for a minute). This one did.
Dave
Here he is again.
One more
A robin stretching its wing
A little butter-butt.
And my personal favorite
And here is Papa in an unusual pose

I posted this titmouse on another thread as an example of back lighting, but he's so danged cute I'd like to post him again.
That's it for me. Let's see some more of your shots.
I am off to bed.

Here's an Okie Titmouse. Yes, the wind blows here.
Great shots Dave! Such a nice variety and I love the Titmouse! Thanks for starting the new thread.
Red, Nice pic. Yours looks a lot like a Tufted Titmouse.

Nice one Met! We still have some Junco's around.
Wow great pics Dave & Met!!!
I went to check on my friends Blue Bird boxes yesterday and got a few pics worth sharing.
This Cedar Waxwing sat long enough for a quick shot...I was somewhat surprised to find it there!
and there were several Yellow-rumped Warblers around too...
and of course the star of the show...Blue Birds.
but they just wouldn't stay put for long!!
I did check one of the boxes and we have a nest..no eggs yet.

love them all!
Yesterday at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm and Rookery. A Tricolored Heron.
A Great White Egret
I don't have the experience necessary to get good flight shots. So this was just a lucky photo. A woodstork bringing home a twig.
Great shots bsharf, I can't decide which would be my fav. I like them all. Here is one I got yesterday of my male housefinch and a titmouse:

Hi Meth
Love the cardinals. I don't see many here.
And yes, that yellow-rumped warbler stops by to visit us about this time each year. Stays several weeks and is gone. This is his third year. I usually get a Phoebe too, but that one has not showed up yet.
Nice bluebirds, Nanny.
And Bsharf, that woodstork in flight is a great shot. Lucky shots are your reward for keeping your camera ready!
Dave
sharf, For flight pics I use the viewfinder and set my camera to fire bursts. I'm a lifelong upland hunter, so I have a pretty good sense of pointing at and leading birds. It takes some practice and a little luck never hurts.:)
Some beautiful shots today. BTW, I saw my first Scissor-tails today. Too far away for pics, but last year they often used the shepherd hook in my back yard as a perching place. They learned that when I mow the lawn there will be crippled bugs on the lawn.
Here's a shot of the Willet I got when in San Diego at Bosca Chica refuge. I have more but I am having problems uploading photos here lately.

Bsharf great capture on the Woodstork! One of my goals to to get a good shot of a flying bird!!

Kip what a pretty bird the chaffinch is...great shot!
Met I was having problems too posting pics and it seems some of mine were to large. Even after resizing though they take a while.
How 'bout a Western Meadow Lark?
Such a pretty bird red!
Saw a chickadee carrying a stick today--hope it is nest building.
