Little bird thread...your mission Mr Phelps

[Didereaux]

Nuthatch checking out Downy's butt. This same Nuthatch chased away the Pileated Woodpecker again today. The much smaller one was not bothered by it at all... strange. The Nuthatch are hard to photograph, it's like they are vibrating all the time. Downy's are vibrating too but not as bad as the Nuthatch.

This is the singer of the group in my yard. Finally got him on the feeder. There are three of them up until now, he is the aggressive and least curious one. He just eats once and then patrols, he is keeping the Blue Jays away from the feeder. Very violent and aggressive bird towards the Blue Jay, I think he is a warrior.

Those two are a couple of your best so far! kudos!

Really? Thanks, that is encouraging.

Little birds are such a challenge!! Always flitting around, never sitting or posing. I guess their metabolism is so high that sitting for a full second is posing....

Tell me again why they call this a Yellow-rumped Warbler???

Gray Catbird. This one DID sit for a bit, and let me get rather close, too!

Black-and-White Warbler

Lucky shot of a female Eastern Bluebird flying past the perched male.

A rare visitor to Florida, Vermillion Flycatcher. This was last winter. He was here this year, I saw him twice, but I never got a shot.....

When I saw this guy, my first thought was, "when did they start having blue cardinals????" Blue Grosbeak.

The lil ones certainly can be tough.. Got this one on a very windy day...

Man, they were going crazy out there this morning. I think they love the snow.

Snow?!?!? Today???!!!

That ain't right!!!

(Says the Floridian!!!)

I know that's right. I will be in your neck of the woods at the end of next week for vacation. Of course, it supposed to be in the 70's here when I am there.... go figure.

Not sure if these qualify for this thread. Sorry if they don't but let me know.

Love these! That little head poking out under the feeder is killing me

I have a soft spot for Downies (sad story, not going to bring the thread down!)

I don't have a lot of my own shots (love seeing y'all's, though!) Oddly, the ones I do have seem to all be in urban settings.

Here's a...um...bird (I'm also crap at identifying them).

This little guy wouldn't land on my hand, but instead would take the bread from my fingers while still flying.

I love those, great change of pace. Looks like a sparrow in the 2nd pic. The first may be too, hard to tell from angle. I love this thread.
