A few pics of the birds that frequent my area.

Goldfinches at the feeder.


Redwing blackbird.

Good pictures!
I love the Goldfinches!

Good ones Kathy, I only ever see red wing black birds in swampy areas.

There are swamps nearby but they like my feeders. This is the last of the bird seed. We put the feeders away to keep bears off the property!

Can't say I blame you there, bears aren't my favorite animal to have around. We have very persistent Raccoons, so I have to bring my feeders in at night and as I live right next to the forest I know the bears are always close by.

At first I thought the bird on the left was a Female Purple Finch then I thought it was Female Redpoll as there is a hint of red on head or maybe it is an immature Male Purple Finch. Picture taken May 26, 2010 and Female Rose Breasted Grossbeak on right had probably just showed up for the first time for the season.




Ruffed Grouse commonly referred to as Birch Partridge, normally feeds on ground under feeder. State bird of Pennsylvania.


This flying squirrel is also another night time visitor when I don't bring feeders in until after dark. He is very easy to approach and is not bothered by flash.

Flying squirrels and red squirrels are cuties...until they move into your walls!!! You get a lot of wildlife there, Ken. Same here. One spring there was a skunk fight under the car. The car didn't smell very good for weeks!

I really enjoyed the wildlife pictures. I need to start putting some effort into photography!

The rose breasted grosbeak has been back for a few days.

They have to be my favorite bird!

Today.
Chipping sparrow.


White Breasted Nuthatch.


Oh, who is this? A young red squirrel.

Bad pics but look who is in the garden at 6AM today. Tallyho!

Fox?

I do miss seeing the Red Fox..

An Egret makes a pit stop during the afternoon commute

Great pics!! Cattle egret?

Beautiful bird and shots. I like the movement in the third picture while the bird is still fairly well focused.

The darn yellow bellied sapsucker has arrived here today and insists on banging on the flashing on the barn roof at all hours of the day! Hell of a way to attract a woman! This woman is annoyed!

I think he loves you, Kathy.

I can relate, Kathy. The mocking birds are winding up for the all nighters here. They screem at the cats all day, and sing all night.

Here are a few that I see on a daily basis:

Great Egret


Sandhill Crane


White Ibis


Here is the landlord, Mr. Red-Shouldered Hawk
