It's a Nene or hawiian goose.... your state bird infact.

This is fall adult male magnolia warbler :)

I will try to get a few ODD warblers this week..... maybe a fall mourning will drop in?

This is a fall plumage bird, therefore it is less colorful :)

ADULT MALE NONBREEDING PLUMAGE...... SCARLET TANAGER :)

I think I know what it is, but can I get a confirmation, please?

I take worse pictures ever time I go out :)

carolina wren

So I see I am not the only person out in the rain judging by your gator image! Nice BTW!

Hey, thats my pet gator! How did he escape? Where is he? My dog and cat miss him! :confused:


Just kidding folks! Nice shot though... hmmm, can't find those here in Indiana :D

The sad part is my dog and cat WOULD try to to play with him! :eek:

Here is a file I thought I had nothing to work with in.... But PS2, AUTO FX and NOISE NINJA to play with gave me this ;) A bit over done I think, but I am learning still.

Male goldenwinged warbler..... THREATENED SPECIES throughout most of it's range.

I have a couple more from yesterday that I can't ID. I almost forgot about this bird,it gave me a tough time never staying still before I got a few pictures. I'm guessing some sort of warbler but I don't see any in my book that fits right. I'm going to get a Warbler book before the year is out.
Mike

While I was taking pictures of the Bald Eagle yesterday there were a group of these birds higher up that I'd say were migrating. Not a very good picture but I know you're big into the Hawk Watch so I hope it's not an impossible ID.
Mike

I do believe this is a first winter pine warbler. That is a very hard image for me to ID though.

The other image is a turkey vulture that may or may not have been migrating.

Here's another shot of this bird from the front, don't know if this will help.
Mike

My first thought was a chestnut sided... but I changed my ID before posting......

IT'S A 1ST WINTER FEMALE CHESTNUT SIDED WARBLER ALRIGHT !!!!!

I was playing with this file in PS and think I played too much :)

Blue-winged warbler(BWWA) from this spring

Shot this in Boston two days ago...

nice shot of house sparrows!

Another shot from last sunday. I was taking some shots of a Blue-headed Warbler when this bird landed close. Most shots I've posted here were cropped, this one is full frame. I think I might have posted one of these already but I didn't feel like looking back at all the pages.
Mike

One more from last sunday, I hope to get out again this weekend if the weather permits.
Mike

Male downy woodpecker and an eastern phoebe

Mike this weekend(starting tomorrow mid day) will be GREAT for birds. Hawks fly by day/ roost by night and neotropicals fly by night and feed by day ;)

As I am sure you know... in the AM warblers look for the area where the sun hits first around a good place to take cover(wooded area usually). The sun gets the insects moving and the warblers devour them after that 8-10 hour flight :)

To help you reach 1000 posts.

Egotist!

;-)

I think I know what this is(I think it's a plover), but please, give us the definitive answer.

Rob,

Close, it's an Willet.

Has anyone noticed I went 0ver the 2k post mark and nothing magical has happen. I just noticed myself ;)

For your extensive post, flaunting your bird knowledge.

Taken with my Pentax K1000, Reala, 80-200mm @ 200mm.

I honestly can't find a bird there ;) maybe if you take the full sized scan and crop it down?

Look here...

AAAAAHHHHHH

Belted kingfisher ;)

I figured one had to be there from the scene!

I should have loaded the large file onto my computer, then I could have cropped the bird for you. It's actually an egret preening.

Here are a few more shots to help you.

I'll bring the CD in next week and load the large file, then crop the bird.

BTW, Congrats on passing the 2000 mark!

now I see it ;) I thought that was a blown out branch and to the left looked to be a kingfisher possibly?
