Good photo, Joe. That looks like a very happy sparrow! I guess he is pleased that spring is here.

Missed getting a pic of a Downy woodpecker, but I did catch a Chickadee.

....just took the dog out in the back yard for a few minutes and a buzzard landed in one of our oak trees-I have never seen a buzzard that big-it must have been close to 6 foot wingspan!!..........

Checked in on the eagle family about 6:08.
Momma was just getting off the nest - still only one chick.
Looks like she had a fish off to the side and was feeding the little one.
Too cool!

Got it John, thank you.
While I was looking they went to wide angle and panned from left to right.
Nice to see the surrounding area and the river and the road just below.
The smelly vehicles just might provide some road kill.

Thanks to everyone for the nice comments.
It's a little chilly here to start thinking Spring.
It's going down to below freezing most nights, although I see a bit of a warm up in the future.
It's been a very mild winter for us.
Thank you, Mel.

While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
Ok, so I was actually changing out of my Sunday-Go-To-Meeting clothes. And it wasn't at my chamber door, but outside my upstairs office window.
Still, there was a tap, tap, rapping.
A peek through the blinds showed me the "some one" responsible -- a Yellow-Shafter Flicker.

Shift change on the nest took place about 5:15 this afternoon.
Good shot of inside of the nest still showed only one chick hatched.
Hope the other one isn't a dud!

Nice capture Steve.
I saw a common flicker out in my yard a few days ago but he didn't hang around long enough for a photo shoot.

Keep a close eye on them Steve!
They might be hoarding.

How many of you continue feeding during the summer? I have been doing so in past years primarily because I like to see the youngsters show up with their parents.
Re: Ornithology (Bird) Thread

I feed year round because I like watching all the activity.
Cheap fun and entertainment.
(well, there is the cost of the seed

Not too often I see them feeding together.
For those who may not know, cardinals mate for life.

Thanks for the bump John. I finally got a look at the chicks, briefly but a look.
