Post Your Bird Images Here!!!!!!!

Classic turtle dove shot. This little fellow was just sitting there calm and as tranquil as can be, just begging for his picture to be taken.

I like the monotonous tones of this shot. If I ever do a green theme or something, this shot would be there!

BTW EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!! The east coast has had very bad migratory conditions for the last 4-5 days! TOMORROW the winds and climate will turn to GREAT conditions! Over the next 2-5 days here in NJ we will have a strong migratory push of raptors and neotropicals!

Be on the look out for warblers over the next week and a very strong possibility of a broudwing push. Broudwinged hawks migrate in huge groups from 10's to many hundreds in a group!!!!!!!!!

Damb you! I can never get close enough to a belted kingfisher to make a good image. I can't sex it due to wing position BTW ;)

We have had a decent # of migratory osprey here in the last few weeks.... I may have seen this one pass over ;)

Now That's A Nice Image!!!!!!

Hey Paul. I just wanted to say that this is one HELL of an awesome thread you have started here, and the most sucessful one this site has ever seen. Very well done PR.com'ers!!!

Seen one, but never gotten its picture.

With time it will get somewhat easier! I didn't wake up one day knowing suttle differences between neotropicals :)

Btw... Since music was brought up a few days ago....

I listen to George Jones in the background on my PC . "The cold hard truth" just started :D

Sorry for the poor detail. This is a 12x zoom - handheld.
2 species but probably not enough detail for the one in the marsh.
I don't know if these guys are flocked up, getting ready for migration, or just all finding good feed in this shrinking pond.

It appears to me that you have 7 great egrets, a great blue heron on the left and the middle bird is a young great blue heron?

More from back in May, I was up in the Poconos today playing golf and I usually see a lot of birds up there but it was quiet there today.
Mike

Another from back in May, I think I know the family this bird belongs to but I'm not sure which branch.
Mike

Well I think I 'm just about out of birds from May but here's one more.

"Ophelia" has swallowed up my front, so I will update the thread when a good front is coming AGAIN ;) Merrill Creek is getting a decent flight though !

As for your birds... 1st is a great crested flycatcher and the 3rd is a yellow warbler

THE SECOND IS A HARD ONE

It looks warbler like(wilson's, hooded), oriole like and somewhat female scarlet tanager like!

I will send that image to my cousin to see what he think, as I can't get past the oriole look with a wilson's warbler head color!

BTW..... What does "orlew" discribe in you image's name

The orle was short for Oriole the w was added when I renamed the picture after down sizing it for this site, short for web.
Mike

indigo bunting ;)

I am nearly 100% sure your hard bird is a young northern(baltimore) oriole, but that cap made me exited that it may be a wilson's warbler! Wilson's warbler is my hardest bird to find and photograph so far in NJ!

Here's a couple more from Birding 101 again pictures taken in May.
Mike

You have got that right! I have a few flocks of turkeys in the area...... 1 has to be 40+ birds(on duke's estate and the surrounding area)

BTW.... I seen 12 + kestrels and atleast one merlin today in some far fields in my area! too far for good images, so I just watched them with my binoculars

Last one for tonight, Birding 101. When I was a kid here in NJ you would never see these birds now there all over the place.
Mike

Moving some files and noticed this from earlier this year. Kinda like it...

As do I !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why do I have to live in a non bird ridden environment???? WHY???

It's only fair that I add one here and there..... huh?

Hooded merganser from a VERY COLD UGLY DAY in january.

I know I posted a image of this species from that day SOMETIME, but when I can't remember :)
