xpoetmarcr Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 This is an oldie I found while looking over some past shots. It was during winter and I was quite surprised to see him at my feeder. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birding Boy Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I'm realizing I have quite a few shots I haven't uploaded yet...anyways here's my best shots ever of a Barred Owl! Spotted him from the car and managed to get a few shots off before he dove to the forest floor in search of his next meal. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragon49 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Boat-tailed Grackle stealing turtle eggs. A woman watching was literally crying as momma sat nearby guarding other eggs and was helpless against the thief. I talked some people passing by out of scaring the bird away, as this is how nature is supposed to work. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/427052421 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GracesWarbler Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 A Western Bluebird. It was neat to see them stand on a tall plant, then swoop down to the ground, looking for bugs. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/426739551 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jodi Nielson Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 a pair of Eastern Phoebes have decided to nest on the security light on our shed. Female in the nest, male had just brought some nesting material to her. I loved this because he just looks so proud of himself...lol 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't breed anywhere close to one another...nuttalli and pink-sided that is. Regardless, it's a really darn cool bird! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GracesWarbler Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 A Western Bluebird I saw yesterday. I like how the pine needles in the background look a little like a firework or pompom. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/432137851 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
