dodge, you know I love talking and looking at birds. Was just watching a show about the Christmas count. I'm trying to get my grand children involved in bird watching. They are busy busy busy. Too busy.

I like my birds too--I do not have the nice camera that you and Sheri do, Barb, but I love this----and the birds benefit because as I am talking I tend to keep my feeders better re-filled shewinks...

I learned yesterday that the Christmas bird count used to be the Christmas bird kill. In 1900, ornithologist Frank Chapman, an early officer in the then budding Audubon Society, proposed a new holiday tradition-a "Christmas Bird Census"-that would count birds in the holidays rather than hunt them. Easy as that. I want to join a bird watching group but the closest one is in Charlotte. Might join up anyway.

Went right to the store and forgot sunflower seeds and suet. I had some safflower seeds that the birds don't particular like but I put them out anyway. I figure in this freezing weather they're gonna have to eat what's out there and not be too picky.

They are spoiled. Today I got some sunflower seeds and suet. They had barely touched the safflower seeds. I guess we have enough berries around to keep them full.

mine left the seeds--all varieties--alone until this last snowstorm--now they cannot get enough--sad thing is I could not buy any thistle last saturday.
The juncos have moved on to sunflower seeds--but my poor finches--- shock

We have 2 rescue cats that live outside and it seems lately every time I walk out the door they are at my feet. Birds won't let you take their picture with cats watching.

Hi everyone. It's been awhile since I've been on. And once again I have forgotten how to post a picture :(

I know I can add a link, however I would just like to put them in the post.

I have a couple of Dark Eyed Junco Pictures to share. They are new to my yard. Don't see them everyday and I have had a really hard time getting pictures of them.

Dodge is right---but she forgot to say, copy & paste the "img" line that is listed under the photo that you wish to import to your post. That way the photo will copy here--
Also, there is a tutorial up in "New members" to help you.

It was yesterday. My birds still haven't eaten the safflower seeds I put out. They're waiting on the sunflower seeds.

Yes VERY nice Sheri--your photo taking abilities are dantastic. thumbup Plus you get so many nice birds---YAY for you !!!

My birds come in spurts. As it is now, they come to eat my sunflowers when I put them out, but they do not seem to like my new finch feeder. (you cannot see the seeds inside) I am hoping they learn to use it this summer & so next winter it will be old news.

and they are not real fond of the seeds I put in my wild bird feeder either---oh well. I guess if they get hungry enough they will eat huh??

I can't remember the name of the first picture. That bird only shows up here when it's really cold and right before we get snow. Wonder if we'll get flurries this week since he's here.

dodge, I'm glad you put out your feeders. Around here we have evergreens, like holly trees, that have berries all winter and nandina that has berries all winter - not sure if you have those in your area. I try to keep water out for the birds but I don't have a heater and the water keeps freezing these days.

juniegirl, I am fortunate in that I live in an area with a lot of different birds. I love the Eastern bluebird. They weren't in my yard when we first came so we put up a bluebird box and they keep having babies so now we have a lot. It's so pretty to look out the window and see a red bird, yellow bird, and a blue bird all in the same area.

Yes it sounds as if you are indeed fortunate. It is very nice of you to share your pictures so we too can see such beauty. Thanks so much kissie

I had a blue bird house at the "farm" the year before we left. We had a family complete with eggs. Then we had a storm and one parent was killed (we found him/her a week later all washed up against a pole). So then I guess the other parent pushed the eggs out of the nest & left. boohoo
I think I will put up a new bluebird house this next spring. Thanks for reminding me.

A while back Johnny bought me a Nikkon SLR with 2 lens camera and I couldn't figure out how to use it. Also the close up shots weren't close enough to suit me. I couldn't see the man in the moon with either lens. I took it back and got a Canon SX50 for 1/3 the price and love it. I'm sure the pictures aren't as clear and I can't get a panoramic view like I could with the telephoto lens but it works for me.

Yes Carol, blushHe said can you come out to play?

Sheri
Kudos to you on a good choice.. I plum wore out my canon we both owned.. Like 20,000. It turned black on me.
However I own a Canon EOS Rebel.......with only a 18-55 mm lens an I use it always for close ups. Still love the majic of the canon closeups.. Only lens I have on it .Maybe some day I would venture into a larger than life lens for it. Not yet unless I could find a nice used one ..$$$$$$$$$$$$

Carol I don't even know how to use these cameras, I just go shoot.LOL But thanks.
Were all educated in a different way.

My other camera finally gave out too Barb. I wish you had a new one like my new one. You taught me more about that other camera than I ever learned from the manual and my new one didn't even come with a manual. I have to look it up online. What if a person doesn't have a computer??? I don't understand no supplying a manual. My phone didn't come with a manual either.

Gee Sheri I didn't know that.
I sure did enjoy that one.. It was great how we can take photos an not get them developed.
I am still messing with cameras, an the guy when works my farm, warned his helpers, to watch that Barb , she she chases you with a camera.........LOL

Its fun to get the unexpected, on the camera.......But I still miss Ole Thorn, an his bird work.
Wish he would return. bow
Checked out some Photo forums on line. To sophisticated for me.. They kind of laugh at us dummies..

mainly b/c I am not sure it is him.
BUT I will see if he is my "friend" on FB--if he is not, I cannot talk to him--but just "see" his posts that he makes on other peoples posts.

last time I talked to Thornius he had met a woman in England (I think) and was mainly talking to her. I don't think we were friends on Facebook but I'll see if I can find him and see what's happening.

Was it Nat Winston III ?? If so then I have not been seeing him on FB. blush

MY book--from back in the day-- says that is his name, but then I have been known to be wrong...

yep that's it. Thanks. I'll find him.

dodge, I thought you entered that photo contest he mentioned a time or two. I entered a few times and won 2nd place once. I used to get weekly results. I'll try to find that too.

I found his twitter page .. Old 2010
He is 57 years old or maybe 59 being it was 2010
He had a live Journal on twitter 2010.
Hooked up with an old girlfriend from younger days, also a widow. Maybe he is on that now??
Or was in 2010.
Probably forgotten birds .

Wow goodie job there.
Show us more , love seeing your trees in the views also.
It shows us what trees etc grow in your area, which we don't see here in zone 5 or 6 or whatever.

Sometime just send us a view of the greenery around you. Just for a change of view.
Thanks

Barb has a point--showing us anything green would be great.

MY "point & shoot" camera has finally died...so now I will be using my Husbands camera--well as soon as I figure out how it works---perhaps by spring...I am hoping it has a better zoom---Time will tell,,,

it's the SX50. Hubby doesn't have a camera. He uses his phone if he wants to take a picture.

What is that speckled bird?

if you mean the photo of the one where you said "no idea" then:

I think it is some kind of Sparrow, Sheri--House or treee sparrow perhaps--

Where is thorny when you need him????
