Daily Pictures Vol. 202

These shots were taken through the window this afternoon. Blue Jays feeding one another.

Aren't they sweet?

I was so glad to see that.

Male Northern Cardinal

Common Grackle

Wow! I was off the computer for a couple of days and got two threads behind! Love to hear the progress of the birds as they migrate as they are documented in your pictures. Here is a link that you will find most interesting on that subject, in case you are not familiar with it:

Morning visitor on my study steps. Lark Sparrow.

Another view of this handsome little fellow.

Nice pix everyone, Mocking bird on the pier.

I would like to share a couple of my birds I have seen in the last couple of weeks. Hooded warbler, my first time seeing him. I am in Friendswood Texas

This is our young pileated woodpecker. He is having a good time with our old ash tree.

Some great shots everyone! Love that hooded warbler and what a lovely shot of the Pileated woodpecker!

I've enjoyed having today off work and watching the birds in my garden.

Chaffinch

Collared dove

Song thrush

Red the Western Meadow Lark sure is a pretty bird!

Duc, Great shots of the Grosbeak and Tree Swallow!

Wow, great pix everyone.

Since I discovered Dave's Garden, it is like a new world. I love everyone's pictures and the never ending library. I get a kick out of sharing my pictures with fellow bird lovers. This next one is a visiting Sharp Shinned Hawk. The picture is not so great, I did not have much time to plan. He visits my backyard almost every day.

LOL, yes I have them along with the Cooper's Hawk here. They visit quite often!

Would like the hawks to catch the squirrels--deer too big for them--sigh!!!!

I've been seeing these Northern Flickers moving around in the trees next to my yard for several days. This was the first time they have come out in the open so I could snap a quick long range pic of them.

are those the red-shafted?

Mrs_Ed.................I think they are.
