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

Goodwood Revival, down by the racetrack.
Even 2x on the 400mm wasn't ehough.

Paul, is this a fieldfare?

800mm on a APS sensor huh....... welcome to my nightmare ;)

I failed to manual focus, you can see it's fine just in front of the bird :(

......But is that a fieldfare? I am not too sure of the ID.

Very overcast day today but I got a few shots. Here's number one.

I've completely lost track of this post and what is what and what has been posted. Anyway, this morning I wandered out on the porch with coffee to watch the rain and lo and behold the robins were at "The Waterpark". I grabbed the closest camera and these were the result. I did go back in and get out a big gun (Canon DSLR) but the robins decided to be uncooperative :(

I was out early this morning and it was very overcast, I had to shoot this one at 1600 iso and I could still only use a shutter speed of 90.

First time I saw one of these I had a hard time getting the ID, the way this bird acts made me look in the wrong section of my bird book. It doesn't seem to fit in the family it is in.
Mike

Here's another easy one for you but I haven't posted one of these yet.
Mike

Well one lst one from this morning , this one might be a little tougher.

Scanned this from a bad print, but thought I'd get an ID, please swami. The first and only wild owl I've photographed...

Here's a zoo owl from somewhere - another print I just scanned. Have no idea what it is...

I knew the owl species BEFORE seeing the image :)

This is a BARRED OWL. They are the most abbundant of the large owls and easiest owl to find in your area ;)

They are a bit rare in NJ, but I have seen plenty(hard to photograph though because they are usually on PROTECTED FEDERAL LAND)

The zoo image appears to be a western screech owl, but I am not 100% sure.

black capped chickadee and a BLACK AND WHITE WARBLER ;)

Why do you think the BWWA is un- wood warbler like? Sure it is one in the US in it's genus, but it warbles, eats insects and is like no other family of bird :)

I am pretty sure this is a first winter savannah sparrow, but juvenile sparrows are hard

We have a BUNCH OF images here, and yours makes that bunch 2 more :)

water park :) hahaha

These BTW are from CANADA , as robins are migrating already

The way they go up and down the trees I thought it was some type of nuthatch or creeper.

You think so, I was thinking it was a Palm Warbler. Dark head and line through the eye.
Mike

A male eastern towhee

AH....... Yes they do act very nuthatch like!

You think so,.......

Your right..... under closer observation I see a slight wingbar. The clean chest is palm like, but some young common yellowthroats are cleaner chested. the eye line is also a trait of the yellowthroat , as is the dark head.

I have seen very few young PALM warblers, but they are traveling through here and there in the last week ;)

Here's another shot of that bird that shows the head a bit better, I didn't post this one since it wasn't as sharp.
Mike

A normal day in the life for these little guys. They were too busy to be bothered by me and my little point and shoot digital.
