    cape barren goose, peafowl(since they are male... peacock) and an emu ;)

    Now that we have our own forum, you can also post in your own thread if you'd like. WHEN this thread gets too big(like the original), we will start a new one before it gets errors.

    A new one?

    I don't remember seeing this one in the original thread, but I could have missed it. Taken right here in SW Wisconsin.

    He is getting pretty deep there, so it looks! I actually took a series of images of one swimming(they don't swim either) . It tried to land on what it thought was land, but it was actually heavy weeds. Once it was caught , it flopped around swimming for 300 feet until it got back to land ;)

    That was quite a sight to watch.

    Birds on a Wire

    I photographed these birds in St. Louis a few days ago when the sun was going down. There was a flock of them. What are they?

    Re: Birds on a Wire

    The DEMONS of the avian word!

    They are european starlings and I apsolutely hate them! They are nasty(like house sparrows) and are driving redheaded woodpeckers(amoung others) from their nest holes.

    Since they nest earlier than other birds, they get there first and take over. The redheaded woodpecker is on the threatened list(if not endangered) in NJ due to them and developing.

    Re: Bird ID part 2

    Yeah I will move it once I get PJ to split it into atleast 2 pieces. That thread only works (due to size) when the server load is very low.

    BTW.....

    congrats on making 1K

    Easy ID

    From St. Louis, but common most places. Don't think we had one in the 1st ID post.

    Lava, the 2nd shot of these is lovely. I like the detail you can see in the backlit wing.

    This little sweety followed me around the lake all day. She was completely unafraid of me, and she even sat on my shoes.

    Dude that appears to be a TRUE Muscovy duck! The angle is a hard one to ID from though.

    Re: A nest full of babies

    Are you joking ? Give me a location of the nest( looks like an over hang, but is it near water.....) and I will give you a few birds it could be.

    Seems it is mostlikely a eastern pheobe nest from my experience, but it would be close to water. Alsp mourning doves and robins nest anywhere too ;)

    Well, you do have the right answer in your reply. The nest is sitting on top of a porch light on the back of a cabin we rented in northern WI. There is a lake about 50 yards from the cabin.

    Re: Bird Id Part Ii

    Here's another bird from Florida, I only had my 200mm lens with me so I had to crop this a bit. I wasn't planning on doing any birding down in Florida but I wish I had put my 2x extender in the bag, I won't make that mistake again.
