Great Egret

Posted By Robert Watters
Anybody know what causes the green color at the base of the bill or otherwise called the Lore? Sibley mentions a yellow-green color for the juvenile Snowy but nothing on the Great egret. Maybe the diet??

You don't realize how beautiful these birds are until you get them in good light.

Downy nest

Posted By Robert Watters
This Poplar tree is in my back yard and was a casualty of a storm last year. It was snapped clean off just a couple of feet above these photos. Luckily I haven't gotten around to cutting it down and some Downy Woodpeckers decided to make a nest in it.

Here's mom and a young one.

Comments appreciated,

M&F Rose-breasted Grosbeak

Posted By Robert Watters
As far as photos goes this isn't anything I would normally post. But since it is such a rare sighting for me I just had to.
Shot through a glass door. sad (It was this or no shot at all.)

Another first for me.
This male sort of looks like a minature Meadowlark and has a unique call that carries in the breeze quite well because he was alot further away than he sounded. smile
