Noch Nicht.

I forgot who this is.

AHHH! I didn't know that they have Pink Flamingos in North Carolina.

One with a deformed beak



and one with out

what's his name?

gosh Diane. How'd you catch that? You're getting bird brains.

Sheri I think your's is a female house finch,,,,,, the male has red on it with a brown cap on the very top of his head




Actually I didn't know I had gotten two different ones * sparrows)until I uploaded on the computer,,,, they were pretty much in the same spot about 10 minutes apart,, I just took two pictures hoping to get a clear one shot of a sparrow I got lucky!!!!! I hadn't seen the deformed beak in a week or more, and the sun was in my eyes so I couldn't tell,

love that photo.

he's looking at you.

Deformed Beak is a Song Sparrow, the other bird is a female House Finch.

Easter morning birds.

excellent Blue jay and Robin Sheri!

love the hairdo of #2.

Two views of a Cedar Waxwing I took yesterday.

they're related to Darth Vader.

Methinks so. Luke, I am your Feather.

Girls' Day Out.

These two young ladies two a day out from the boys to have luncheon tpgether where they discussed, Shoes, Latest Fashions, and Men. They enjoyed a meal of BOSS and willow flavored water at Chez Thorny.

I'm sure they're discussing the new trend of wearing orange shoes and leggins with every outfit.

Mr. Redbird was chasing her around all day

is this a relative of my murdered mockingbird?

is this a house wren?

That IS a Mockingbird, But although that IS a Wren, it is a CAROLINA Wren, NOT a House Wren. House Wrens are smaller and VERY plain, sort of an even brown all over.

The NEW Sparrow Workshop

On this episode of This Old Nest, Spar Abrams shows us how to eliminate the hassle of building a new nest each year, by showing us how to patch up an old nest good as new!

I take that back. That is NOT a Wren, that is a Chipping Sparrow. The White eye line threw me and then I looked at the rest of the markings and realized what it was.

I'm so happy I've got a mockingbird. He doesn't hang around and sing like my recently departed did but maybe someday.

Thanks for the ID Thornius. I can't get this stuff correct to save me.


Your sparrow is certainly a handsome bird.

Thought I would share my nature of the day....

Your Mystery Bird is a Blue Jay. Nice Scissor-Tail! I haven't seen those since I lived in Texas almost 40 years ago. I wasn't a birder then. And you have a Fox Squirrel and Gray Squirrel in one picture. We have both here in Middle Tennessee, but you don't see them TOGETHER here very often.

My NEW son-in-law from Scotland was at my house the other day and saw a male Cardinal for the first time and asked me, "What is the red bird over there in the tree? It's BEAUTIFUL!" I said, "That red bird would be what is commonly called a REDBIRD. It's actual name is a Northern Cardinal. It is a favorite bird that is depicted on Christmas Cards here." He got a kick out of it. He and my daughter are on their Honeymoon in Gatlinburg, TN right now. They'll be back on Thursday. Then he'll fly back to Scotland to get all his affairs in order and his stuff shipped here and my daughter will go back to Texas to get her stuff together and come back to Tennessee. They will be living here in Nashville, and will be staying staying with us until they can get a place of their own and get settled.

Oh yea...I forgot I took that picture of the Blue Jay...I'm really not unfarmiliar with them (silly me)it just looked different for some reason in that picture...I guess I'm having "senior moments"....lol.

Here are the birds from today at my house...the other post pictures are from the golf course.

We are going back to the golf course again tomorrow for the second day of my sons district tournament...hopefully I can get some pictures of the Swallows I saw today...heard the Woodpecker, but couldn't find him. Saw a Red-tailed Hawk, but didn't have my camera at that moment and today was the first time I have ever seen (and photographed) the Eastern bluebird! It was such a treat! This stuff is addicting!

Congratulations are in Order thorn!!!--(If I may break away from the topic)

I am so happy for you that they will be living close to you---

Ah, iggygal, you got Cedar Waxwings, a Cowbird, and your Fox Squirrel is going to be a mommy, soon!

Congratulations Thornius

that woodpecker is precious.

Just added 5 more pictures that I took today of a Scissor-tailed Fly Catcher and a Female Downy Woodpecker. All these pics are from the golf course that my son has played at the past two days.
