| Pelle informed that it's time for a new thread. Admittedly, I've been lurking in the background enjoying everyone's photos. With Spring arriving it's great to see all of the birds that the changing seasons bring to us. If you wish to look at some of the more recent photos the following link will return you to the last thread.
http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1247847/
Personally, I've been doing very little bird photography. The warm weather that we had this winter altered bird behavior significantly. The question is, is this temporary or is it a trend ? Even the Osprey that normally fly south, as far as South America, hung around the southern Chesapeake Bay area during this winter. The Bald Eagles were fewer than previous years because they could stay put up North. Snow Geese were fewer than previous winters. I hope it's a temporary change.
I'll start this thread off with a few photos of the White Pelicans. Now for some, their sighting may be unusual but for here in Maryland they were seldom seen in previous years. I suppose the warmer weather is attributable for this trend, also. The first photo includes one large group at Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge. Seldom are they close to the shoreline so one needs all of the reach they can get. These photos were taken at 700mm.
Note: Sorry for the photo duplication. It was way past my bedtime !!!

| Waterfowl numbers were also down, especially where I frequent. I don't recall any rare waterfowl sightings this Winter. Here are a few photos of the normal visitors.
The first two are of American Wigeons. The third is male Bufflehead and the last one is a male Canvasback.

| Thanks, Pelle and Granny Grunt. The White Pelicans are always a welcome sight.
Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge is home for a number of Bald Eagles. Tragedy struck this year's family that is displayed on the Backwater webcam when an intruding eagle killed the two eaglets. Biologists suggest that with the increasing population of Bald Eagles and the competition for nesting sites increases, this behavior may become more commonplace. I hope not ...
I've been following a few Bald Eagle nesting sites at Blackwater, on my occasional visits. Each year, Blackwater hosts a one day Eagle Festival which attracts a lot of people. I usually don't visit on that day because of the crowd but the "Friends of Blackwater" used a few of my photos in a collage advertising the event. The collage shows four different nests that are currently active. I probably won't revisit until the eaglets have reached the fledgling stage of their young life.

Linth, thank you for the wonderful new start. I love the pelicans and we've just had a few here and not the thousands as in past years. Beautiful photos of all the waterfowl. What an honor to have your photos used for the event-congrats. Sad story of the eaglets.
Here's a scrub jay, a house finch and a Calif. quail.

| Nice photos, duc. I always like to see the Scrub Jay. They are a beautiful bird, as is the California Quail. Our Quail are few and far between.
Just to emphasize the uniqueness of having the White Pelicans in the Mid-Atlantic area, I have attached a range map. You can see that nothing is noted in Eastern U.S., except Florida.
It's always amazing to me how quickly the Osprey arrive in large numbers. One day you see none and a week later they seem to be everywhere. Shooting toward the Sun doesn't lend itself to a lot of good photo opportunities. So with some of the Osprey photos, I've tried to salvage something out of them.
The first one was taken at the Osprey webcam location at Blackwater, at 700mm. It provides a good view of their wingspan. This photo was taken on the first day (3/15) that an Osprey arrived at Blackwater, this year.

We also put some honey grain and nuts on the platform feeder for the other birds, hopefully the squirrels won't figure out what is in the red thing hanging on the lattice.

Papa has been around here quite often, he flew past my head earlier today, if I had moved a inch he would have crashed into me. I guess he has gotten used to us had to put another suet cake out too, the sparrows have been eating it too.

A wonderful beginning with all your photos, everyone. it's fun to see different birds, that are different from what I see.
Burd, I had that problem when uploading pictures here for a while. I downloaded Firefox, and It's working fine for me now, plus it's faster to view and post.

I had a great birding day yesterday. My first bullock's oriole arrived at the feeder. He arrived three days earlier than last year.
Then this white dove, identified as a Barbary or Ringed Turtle-Dove arrived. This is probably a domestic escapee, but it looked healthy.

| Very nice photos, everyone. I really like your Ferruginous Hawk, Burd. And, duc, it's always nice seeing your Hooded Orioles and Black-headed Grosbeak. I've had very little variety around my feeder but here are a couple of photos. The first is an American Goldfinch. Second is a female Eastern Bluebird. Next is a Tufted Titmouse. Lastly is a Chipping Sparrow. All shot at 700mm.

| SUCCESS!!!! The female red bellied woodpecker discovered the suet on the tree, here is a picture of her eating, my hubby gave me his camera and it zooms a lot better than mine. So enjoy!
