Your photos wanted!

We won't be up for a bit and will miss some of the Springtime blooms. If you have daffodil, redbud, forsythia photos, etc. please post away. If you don't know how to get the photos up here just send pic(s) to me at mrglenn71 at yahoo dot com (written out to prevent the spam sites from grabbing the email address). You can also send via the RR Google Group as an attachment and I'll get it and post.
Thanks!

Better shot of Chipping Sparrow


At least he is in focus this week...

Phoebe aka muddy nest dweller


This guy built this entire nest in 6 days since I saw a little dirt on the light last week and scraped it off. He built one on the other light out back last year. Oh well, he's far along so I guess he'll get to stay this summer unfortunately.

Pileated woodpecker


I heard him for a while before I could find him about 40 yards or more from our house.

The power of the pileated woodpecker

Easter Weekend 2

Chipping Sparrow. This guy is tiny and not easy to photograph.


Yes, I still see you.

Yes, I saw you on the feeder again.


Tufted Titmouse diving to the feeder.


American Robin-a male.

Easter Weekend


Poppy learning about wildlife but worn out from the board meeting earlier in the day.

West Virginia Orca aka Black-Capped Chickadee

Nuthatcher-females have grey head and neck stripe and males have black.


Moth landing on my lens to help bring wildlife directly to the camera.


Eastern Phoebe. A new visitor that prefers these logs and tree branches to any feeders.


Saturday meeting in the park was mostly business but if you were able to take your mind off the budget a minute you noticed common mergansers, canadian geese, calls of the pileated woodpecker and a red-tailed hawk soaring in the distance.
All in all it felt more like a weekend in summer than the first weekend of April. We were lucky to be able to spend it in a place we love.
I borrowed someone's camera lens and picked the worst possible weekend to forget a tripod since it is a monster. Lots of pictures taken...
