Poor little thing! It looks like a baby, and he's probably wondering how the heck did I get HERE?!

I agree, it looks like a baby. I hope it's OK. Tell Plato not to eat it!

krobra said:this is a baby pic , staying very late in the evening , trying to eat crumbs and definitely not jumping around and hard to shoot like the adults

I'd hang this one on my livingroom wall in a second, you should really sell raw copies of this one. I love the intricate design on whatever the perch is and the baby Titmouse is absolutely adorable...

Yes, despite his modesty Kurt takes a mean photo!

it was a hanging feeder with a christmas ornament / gazing ball in the middle , but chain broke as did the ornament , tried replacing it that failed too.
so we set it on a stump, stump rotted , now it sits on cinder blocks. and it has poor drainage , always fills up with water when it rains. it does make a good extra feeding station on sunny days though.

as far as prints go I have sold prints and won several contests. just more trouble then it is worth at this time for me.

I can see how that can happen.

mutant sparrow , saw it yesterday and manage to get a few shots of it today.

pretty sure it is a baby and a slightly feeble looking runt , but it also has white streaking in it's wings , which I have never seen before

Oh boy Kurt, that really sucks for my team...you just go ahead rubbing salt in the wound and posting your fabulous pictures.
I love your hanging bird feeder, even without the chain and gazing ball. Thanks for posting that pic!

Very interesting sparrow Kurt.

I read here some time ago that bird feathers turn white when the bird has been exposed to certain agricultural chemicals. For a couple of years there were lots of sightings of blackbirds with white feathers and that is what the scientists concluded. I hope your little sparrow recovers, whatever the cause.

It might be Lecuism. See:

I put some birdseed on the bird table to try to get some photos for here, but it attracted instead FOUR juvenile squirrels. Yikes! But given that turtle-birds and snake-birds are allowed, I thought another squirrel-bird or two would be OK, so I grabbed the camera. I didn't manage a photo with all four together, but here's one with two on the table:



One in particular was less timid than the others and I got really close before it took off

Lovely pictures of the squirrel, very attractive the way that tame one looks with its tail all fluffy. I know its a pest but so darn cute!

Squirrels are CUTE! Very Nice pics Mika, thanks for grabbing your camera.

Wood Stork, Roseate Spoonbill, and Little Blue Heron

Amazing to see them all in the one photo! Melanie

Wonderful photo of all three birds.

Now I just have to show you all what must be the largest birdhouse in Texas, maybe the world! Actually, hubby has been working on building the chickens a new house for the past two years because the floor is rotting away in their current coop. We noticed a bird had made a nest in there awhile back but we've just left it alone. Yesterday I thought I would check to see if anyone is still using the nest.

From first glance I can't see anyone around.


Let's peek inside. Oh my, looks like new born babies.


It's not the clearest picture but I don't think I'll go back anytime soon. Just let them be.

Largest bird house hopes to one day be a chicken house.
