Birds

If you like watching birds or have any comments about a cool bird in your yard or something, this would be a good place to discuss anything to do with birds.

Saw my first Yellow Rumped Warbler (Butter Butt) of the season this morning.  

Blue-winged Teal, Bufflehead, and a Wood Duck 

Queen.    There’s nothing to catch in Wisconsin?     Lol

Went to Illinois fishing today NOTHING oh well.  But I did get this cutie pie it’s a blue gray gnatcatcher making her nest of moss/lychens/fluff

First set of goslings I've seen this year. 

Barred owls, Polski (Who cooks for you?  Who cooks for you all?)  Their mating season is over by the end of March.  Barred Owls call all year long as a territorial claim.  

Lot of active birds buzzing around.

A few fish eaters...Caspian Tern, Common Merganser, Belted Kingfisher 

I have an owl (or owls) hooting all day and night right near my house....Mating season??

 

That's cool BMR.  Keep taking pics...cell phone or other - they're all good.  

Not as good as your pics SM, but my buddy was following me around today.

I was fortunate to see 7 ospreys today on 4 different nesting platforms.  2 pics of those (one had a fish in its talons that it was feeding on) and 1 robin pic shot through the tangled branches of a tag alder swamp.  It was foraging for invertebrates in the mucky substrate.

Thought I heard an oriole today, but it was just a birdbath freezing kind of like the noise when you’re out on the lake and it’s making ice in the winter.

Seeing & learning about some different species of critters / birds while in Arizona with temps over 100 . Similar ol raven riding the wind , lots of collared doves , quail running all over looking to nest soon , pic of one with a desert cottontail .
