i would have guessed gadwalls on your black ducks. i like the thrush!
ReplyDeleteI love your first photo! And you have a real knack for capturing butterflies -I love the mood of a still life there. I can see it's spring -the colors are more vivid in your post. Again a great series! "See" you after my trip:)
ReplyDeleteYou are an amazing naturalist. Thanks for the varied pics.
ReplyDeleteFantastic news that the beautiful grosbeaks drove the grackles from your feeder! In my experience, the less desirable a bird is, the more it drives out the ones I want to see.
ReplyDeleteI will come back and look at the slide show later!!!
Great series.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the beautiful photos Gary. I was particularly taken by the flora you in clouded. It is particularly good to see not just the birds but the awakening vegetation as well. If the bees are awake you should get some good blueberries, if the bears don't get them first.
ReplyDeleteAll wonderful shots!
ReplyDeleteGary...You have given us another wonderful collation of your bird and flower shots. So beautiful. Love that red winged Blackbird and the Purple Finch. That red on the wing is rally an eye catcher. genie
ReplyDeleteNice serie of photos!
ReplyDeleteLovely to see and study!
(Just to let you know: Google gave me a warning visiting your blog)
Fabulous series of photos. I love the ice on the branches, it's so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMany beautiful bird photos!
ReplyDeletelove the Honeysuckle. We have it too.
ReplyDeleteEach picture is a delight! :)
ReplyDeleteyou always show us wonderful series of bird collection...:)
ReplyDeleteLove the mix of photos Gary. Each and every one a "cracker".
ReplyDeleteBrrrrr. Icy weather. Not for me. LOL
ReplyDeleteBut, love the bird images Gary. Especially the grosbeaks...in flight...awesome.
Great pics. It is great to be able to see other birds, than just the ones here locally. thanks for the posts!
ReplyDeleteAwesome collection of birds and photos. Have a happy week!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bird pictures.
ReplyDeletealways a delight to come visit and see your wonderful variety of bird photographs Gary

ReplyDeleteDelightful captures all!
ReplyDeleteNice! I really like your Female Evening Grosbeaks.
ReplyDeleteOMG, that's a lot of photos!
ReplyDeleteYou have captured some very cute critters indeed.
ReplyDeleteAwesome photos of birds. I learned lots of new words in English like Mallard and Scoup, in Finnish mallard is sinisorsa (blue duck) and scoup is sotka:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful series. Our birds are all busy nesting. Can't wait to start seeing the new hatchlings.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful birds.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really great slide show! If I had to choose a favorite, I think it would be the wood duck in flight - what a great catch!
ReplyDeleteFabulous birds, wonderfull shots
ReplyDeleteI really like the Yellow Rumped Warbler

so many beautiful observations Gary!
ReplyDeletewow, that's dozens of photos to respond to. odd weather east and west then. Newfoundland got 2' in a freak snowstorm. country must be shedding off the flat middle? all warm here. some nice bird shots. it's all in the lighting, and the eye, and the lens and the timing.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos! Strange weather at your place!
ReplyDeleteThe grosbeaks we don't have in my country. /Pia
A beautiful series of photos. I especially like the droplets of water frozen on the branches.
ReplyDeleteI just had to drop in and look at your photos :)
ReplyDeleteYou capture the nature in wonderful pictures!
Wonderful images Gary... I think I spotted some sunshine in some of them... can you spare me a bit?
ReplyDeleteLove the grosbeaks!
ReplyDeleteWhite-throated sparrow sends me humming 'His eye is on the sparrow.'
ReplyDeleteA great series Gary! I really like the Evening grosbeaks.
ReplyDeleteIt's always relaxing to browse through your photos, great shots. Love esp the grosbeaks.
ReplyDeleteJust lovely captures, so relaxing.
ReplyDeletegreat pics. I especially like the wood-duck in flight, and the iceicles hanging on the branches. Do you often get snow in May? I thought you were in spring.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and thanks for stopping by my blog yesterday.
Loved the duck in flight and that hermit thrush is a sweet looking little bird!
ReplyDeleteAfter our 80's today it was a little refreshing to see the ice. :)
HI Gary...My what a lovely variety of birds and some lovely spring flowers, butterflies,and scenes, except for the
ReplyDeleteice : )
I have not been able to get that little blue devil with it's wings open either ! : )
Love the Evening Grosbeaks, haven't seen any in a long time, they used to eat me out of house and home!!
Great post I enjoyed it!!
Grace
Thanks for your comment on my post!!
Hi Gary, your work is always inspiring, relaxing and full of beauty! Thanks a lot for visiting.
ReplyDeleteGreat birds - love those grosbeaks.
ReplyDeleteI think the cormorants were cooperating - but I assuming the egrets were just being opportunistic.
Cheers and thanks for linking to WBW.

Great series of photographs Gary, I love seeing your posts. Amazing you've had snow and freezing rain up there again. Hope it didn't hang around too long.
ReplyDeleteI especially like the Evening Grosbeaks and Wood Ducks. Nice to see that spring has arrived!
ReplyDeleteLove all your birds!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous amount of wildlife you got in your area. Hope the rotten weather is out of the picture now until November.
ReplyDeleteI am very impressed with the assortment of wildlife you see in your neck of the woods - but hope the rotten weather is out of the picture for months to come.
ReplyDeleteSuch grand expressions of nature all around you Gary, always so nice to visit~
ReplyDeleteHi Gary
ReplyDeleteLovely variety here we were at the cabin last week and saw many of the same birds. We had not ice however so that was nice.
All the best.
Guy
I just love them!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post Gary, with beautiful photos to see. But ice ones, you keep the ice, I don't want it :-) I had to turn the heat back on this morning and it's almost the end of May :(
ReplyDeleteAlways a pleasure to drop in at your place to watch your beautiful bird photos.
ReplyDeleteAs always a great post, Gary!
ReplyDeleteLove it very much...
Warm greetings from Holland,
