Dang it, our camera is not comunicating with the computer ever since it broke down, and I wanted to post some nice pics of my newest additions....... Oh well, gotta do it with old pics that I have uploaded on photobucket until the camera and computer are on speaking terms again......
*edit* - my camera and PC are communicating again!! So I replaced the scans with the much more dedailed shots from the Digicam, so here are some pics of my newest addition, my new Silver Pheasant!
Silver Head:

Silver back(my mom just thinks this is the coolest pic):

Whole Body shot(acctually got a poster printed of this one):

A male ruffed Grouse that was in my care for a short while. He was hit by a car, the person who found it brought him to me. Sadly his injuries were terrible and many, he died of internal trauma 2 days after I got him........ very feisty little bird though. Wanted to keep ruffed grouse ever since having this guy but haven't been able to aquire any as of yet :

A wild Merriams Tom, named Little J, he and the rest of his flock used to visit and stay with us every winter ever since his ancestors were released here 40+ yrs ago. As of 2006 the hunting of wild turkeys has been allowed on our side of the river tho and of the whole flock which at times numbered 60+ birds I have only sighted 1 hen in the past 2 yrs..... Little J, Big J and Limper(3 brothers that have been with this flock for 8 yrs) I have neither heard or seen since '06.

A couple of my Bobwhites:

Merriams wild poult "Miracle":

And here are a couple of my favorit quail pictures, my Bobwhite male after a woodash bath:

This is Bumble, my adult male Californian Quail. I hand-reared him from a day old chick - hence the name - as he was literally the size of a bumble-bee

I had forgotten all about these ducks that visited me about a month ago. They are black-bellied whistling ?tree? ducks.

First pic is of them landing on my electric pole after circling the yard a few times (and freaking out all the chickens

)

These pics are of them bathing in the ancient duck pool after deciding it was OK

This was the last pic I was able to get before they got tired of me stalking them and flew off. They were eating some of the chicken feed scattered on the ground

BrokeDownRanch, you should crop that last picture and make it into your avatar. Those ducks are really pretty!
