I think I have a picture of the same bird on page 3. Paul identified it as a dark-eyed junco. Would you agree?

[Lava Lamp]

I was very pleased to meet this fella.

[paulnj]

You found a piliated cashing food for the winter! They DO NOT nest this time of year, but do sleep in cavities still. That is where it should be all winter.

[Knight]

Indeed L L i think it is a Dark-eyed Junco i missed that one and great woodpecker shots

Here is a young owl that was learning to fly, it landed next to our house. Mom was watching VERY close as I took the picture. They have moved on now, there was two babies and two parents, they left after one of the babies was killed by a power line.

[paulnj]

That looks very much like a great horned owlet to me.

Oh and you mallard is domesticated ;)

[ChowChi-Ching]

Yep, it is a Great Horned, I tried to get good pics of the mom but I didn't have a good camera then.
The Mallard is actually wild, it was in a lake by a park that we were visiting. There was a bunch of them swimming with seagulls.

[Lava Lamp]

Can you tell what this is, Paul? I was very happy to see him, but he happened by when I had my camera set for something totally different. Still in all, I kinda like it.

[ChowChi-Ching]

Okay, my mallard seems to have disappeared! (and I can't edit that post to repost him there. The "edit" button is not showing!)

Lol, here he is again........

[Lava Lamp]

Bad pics, tho'

This one will help. 1st time I've ever photgraphed a wild one. Very exciting day for me. Only havd him in view for about five seconds, though.

[paulnj]

haliaeetus leucocephalus !!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember my first wild one was a great feeling!!!!

No fair on the stooping eagle shot with a osprey look to the wings! The angle to the first makes the wings look narrower too!!!!

Since you're the moderator, you can always delete your "mistake" .

Here's an Osprey I was very pleased with. I spent an hour or more each day this week out in the woods and was really pleased with some of what I got: Yellow-Rumped Warblers everywhere, Catbirds, Blue Jays, and Kingfishers I still can't catch for a good photo, Cardinals, Grebes, the Kildeer and Pilated Woodpecker nest you've seen, bunch of Egrets, several Tricolored Herons from about fifteen feet away, some racoons, and an unidentified toad. More to come.

First ...... POST THE TOAD.... and tell us WHERE you live (state) as I don't remember.

Second wise guy.... I can EDIT any post , so I can PUT an osprey image there instead

At first glance I assumed this was a Red Tailed hawk, but as I got closer, I noticed that the belly was pretty solid, no "belly band" on it. My next thought was a juvenile bald eagle since there is/was a nesting pair a few hundred yards up the valley. After zooming in on the pic in the computer, I'm thinking it's a Coopers Hawk...

I know this pic sucks, but can you give me a positive ID from it?
