Bird's on Today's Venue

[Care4all]

First, let me say that I am getting really good at spotting birds far away in the distance and pegging what they are...today, miss lil ole eagle eye spotted the Pileated Woodpecker flying in the distance and saw him land on one of our dead pine trees.

Some sort of Finch, not certain what? it is a yearling because it is still spotted/striped on the chest...it definately is a finch though, you can tell by its features...

I have never seen a indigo bunting...i have seen a snow bunting and something called a northern junco which i believe is also in the bunting family!

Care4all - We (wife and I) have counted as many as 6 Indigo Buntings on and around the feeder at any given time. Have also seen a Scarlet Tanninger (sp?) several times here of late but never when I had the camera ready. How about Orioles? We have some of those guys also... There are also lots of Gold Finches this year it seems. Can't forget the hummingbirds either. We have lots of the feathered friends around our place.

Here are a couple of hummingbird photos I took at our feeder. Also a photo of a bald eagle I took on the road next to our farm. Click on the smaller image to make it larger. I don't know how to down load a photo into the thread except to do it as an attachment.
