What a wonderful place to walk through and get shots like that. :)

This is such an amazing place to lurk. I am enjoying everyone's pictures.

The Robins here are a bit larger with just a red breast, They love to wake you up at daybreak just outside your window.
They mostly all go farther south for the winter but a few will stick around all year.
I don't mind because I know spring is here when the show up as a group.

Chris, that's a Wren, as the Wiki page you lifted the original image from makes perfectly clear.

American Robin

I didn't know their was so many different kinds.

Taken this afternoon while on a short visit to York...

Oh my...
Do you know what kind of bird it is?

Nice shot of that Owl.

A little owl with very big eyes.
I had once a close encounter with one.
Staring at me only two feets from me:)

At the age of abouyt 10 I had my encounter with a barn owl and I tried to catch it.
He very nicely took his claws and latched onto my thhub and it took 2 others kids to get him off. LOL
Man did that hurt! and he wasn't too happy about it either. LOL

Perhaps I should buy me a camera or a smartphone.
Walking our dog leads me to many surprises in the nature.

And I'm sure we'd love to see some of them!

Speaking of owls, I was stationed in Germany and living in base housing. I had to be at work very early
and, as I left the apartment and reached the bottom of the stairs, I heard a noise down in the basement
area. I put down my things and went to investigate. It was an owl. Someone had left the main door open
and the owl flew in but couldn't find its way out. It saw me and tried to fly away, hit its head on the
"ceiling" (which was the underneath part of the staircase), and landed on a bicycle tire with its back to me.
I very carefully picked it up from behind, grasping it securely so that it couldn't fuss or fly, carried it outside,
and let it go. What an experience!

For anyone opposed to letting ladybugs over-winter inside your home, might I suggest a ladybug house?

I'm going to try those corn chips that one of uses said worked on squirrels, Maybe I can get some better shots of them.
I'll try that tomorrow after my doctors app. this is the one that tells me pacemaker or not.
I sure hope not. :(

I remember the first time I saw one....I was in my early teens, saw this ghostly white bird fly silently out of the trees....frightened the living daylights out of me.. :o) but a beautiful sight to see all the same...

My 5th grade teacher told the class one time she was climbing a tree going to look at a nest but it was a woodpeckers, it went after her poking lots of holes in her head.

All the best for the quack's visit Grant.
