Thanks everyone!

Another Dove on the power line and a couple of Common Grackle's:

Geez, I have Grackles here but I could never get such great pictures.

LOL, the first one looked curious about something on the other side of the deck and the second one was at a feeder when another Grackle flew in and almost landed on him ... guess he was startled.Here's the photo before I cropped it:

Great picture either way, cropped or not!

Yup.

I got a few pic's today of my regular old backyard birdies.

Mourning Dove and (I think) a Blackpoll Warbler that only visits during it's migration north from South America:


Blue Jay and ........................................ Red-bellied Woodpecker:

Red Bellies are so pretty.

Cool, catching that Blackpoll Warbler & that is what it looks like to me too.

Great captures Lin, sure look like a Blackpoll warbler to me too.

Beautiful pics of the birds!

The Catbirds and House Wrens are back! They leave each winter and return in spring to my garden each year. I love both these birds. I haven't seen them yet but sure can hear them. Both nest in my yard each year.

Those little house wrens just sing and sing and sing. Hard to believe such a little bird can sing so much. I love their song. I also love the catbird call and I think catbirds are so pretty.

Rita, that's great!!

I am always pleased to have them back each year.

Woodsey corner of the yard with birdhouse ready in case anyone wants to move in.

Rita! Catbirds are supposed to be here but I haven't seen any yet. Still looking.

Margaret is ready !

The Catbirds are really nice garden birds to have around. They are very friendly. They like shrubby areas to nest in. So do House Wrens but the House Wrens need a birdhouse. But that in a very shrubby area also. Not like the bluebirds that want to be out in the open.

Ann, you may hear the Catbirds before you see them.
