Not my pic but one of these wanted to visit my chicken run yesterday!

My roo saw it and sent the girls running for cover... even though they are under bird netting... I looked up and THAT is what I saw!

ETA... Juncos and Sparrows have been chowing down at the bird feeder. I've heard the Chickadees but haven't seen many lately.

That is amazing! we have a rescued jay, he has one wing and blind in one eye- he's on the smaller size too, this one that landed on you looks like a youngster- here is RJ,

his right side is missing his wing and eye

Here's another little cutie that was sitting on a branch just outside my (home) office window. Don't know what it is and if anyone knows please advise.

This my favorite picture and the hardest to get. I have dozens of these little Gambel's quail at my place but they are so jittery! I finally got this shot when it really was too dark to even be using the camera outside. I swear they were laughing at me and my clumsy efforts to get their pictures!

I have hummingbirds that visit, but they are to fast for me to get.
We had 10 wild turkeys come thru 3 weeks ago. But they are so skitish that I could not get close enough for a picture.
There are hawks and buzzards but they fly to high to get a decent shot.
I have seen what the woodpeckers have been doing to my tree but have not actually seen one working on it.

So my one and only bird picture that doesn't come from the zoo.

I have more spider and insect photos. They don't move as fast!

So do these count? They have wings! lol

What is that bird in your first pic?

 

[Crazyland]

I don't know for certain, but maybe a black vulture.

First I have to fess up that I did not take these pix.

The most common bird in my yard is the Black Capped Chickadee

And lots of Stellar jays

Crows are everywhere. a couple of days ago I saw a flock of thousands at dawn

They never land in the yard, but the school field across the street is gull HQ

a couple years ago the herons were regular visitors. Then I covered the pond.

here are 2 mourning doves that nest in our pussy willow tree.
They both sit on the nest at the same time.
