 Song Sparrow (Melo spiza melodia)  Redpole (Carduelis flammea) This poor little guy had a feather stuck on his opposite eye.  Red breasted nut hatch (Sitta canadensis)  White breasted nut hatch (Sitta carolinensis) It's fun watching the nuthatches hide seeds under the bark of trees for later use...

The nuthatch is one of my favorite birds!!! The ones that I have here come to the feeder at about the same time every day, just when I get home from work. No matter how bad my day was, it makes me feel better when I see them! Great pictures Havalotta

I can't believe the variety of bird photos I've taken within a years time.
As I'm sorting them into folders I'm adding the word done to avoid repeats.... Looking them up and attaching their scientific names is sometimes a bit difficult but as I'm learning I'm passing it on to you, one by one....   Northern Flicker (Colaptes auratus)  Carolina Wren (Thryothorus ludovicianus)  Summer tanager (piranga rubra)  Female -First year-snow bunting (Plectrophenax nivalis)  American goldfinch (carduelis tristis)

Bundles of white fluff.... just like baby turkey vultures. Loooooooove your photos!!! Here's a turkey I found walking down the side of the road a couple miles from my house. I rarely see turkeys this close to my house so I was really excited.

Raptors are more beautiful IMO. I'd kill to have peregrines anywhere near me.

Soooo they tell the sex by their legs? That's weird. I thought they did the squeezy thing on them like chickens or run up a probe. She sure is watching intently....
Equills turkey is keeping an eye on her too.
