| OK, this is a new daily thread for bird pictures. Taken at feeders or elsewhere. I'll start it off with a Painted Bunting. When this thread gets too long, someone will start a new one.

Gardenpom: That sure looks like a female, but I've only ever seen photos, so..no help, I'm afraid.

| It's a female, just not a Painted Bunting female...I think it is a female Indigo Bunting. They are known to travel together (Painted and Indigos). These are female Painted Buntings, they are a beautiful shades of green.

I'd agree with female Indigo, looks just like the ones I saw in MO, incredibly drab birds!! Never saw a male :-(
Quoting:Two Thrashers and a Woodpecker, Phoenix 1/2007
Gila Wp., and I'd say Curve-billed Thrashers
Quoting:how I would love to see ... any kind of Bunting!
Look out for Lazuli Buntings in eastern WA (need to be east of the Cascades). But be warned that the females are every bit as drab as female Indigo Buntings!
Quoting:#1 One of my little Kinglets found the new nut bar...
Methinks that's a female Orange-crowned Warbler, note the lack of wingbars, the drab greyish head, faintest hint of a weak supercilium, and faintly yellowish breast

Today out my office window I counted a crowd of 24 robins hopping around. Funny but we never see them here in our yard, but they're at my office only 3 miles away.
I would love to see an Indigo bunting or a tanager. We're supposed to get Indigos in summer and supposedly the occasional migrating Scarlet tanager, but I've never seen one. (I wonder what they like to eat. Hmmmm.)
Here's a slightly more common visitor, not the best mockingbird pic ever, but I liked his attitude. :)

Thanks for pointing out the mistaken Id on the warbler Resin! I didn't look too close when I took it because it was on the DH's camera and he edited it. Going back I see it definately wasn't the Kinglet. Yea! a new bird at my feeder!!
This was a Mockingbird, or so I thought until we edited it. Now I am not sure, what do you guys think? It was out in the country south of here.
Now I am going back to DG to see if this is there. Yep!! it is here!!

| My wife and I were fortunate to see a Scarlet Tanager spend several hours eating all the yellow jackets from a large nest right above our living room window. First, it ate all the workers as they returned to the nest, resting in a nearby tree at times when waiting for a yellow jacket to return. After no more came to the nest after about a half hour, he started plucking the grubs from the nest, flying away with each one. There were probably about 30 of them. After he had removed the last one, my young rescued Jay was having a fit, as he had been watching also from his window perch.
So I went out and fetched the empty nest and gave it to him. He tore it into bits quickly. In about a half hour the Tanager returned and spent about a half hour searching for the nest. I think he thought he was losing his mind. This was in Houston about 20 years ago. |

| At a distance they are as bright as a cardinal. They nest in tall hardwoods, so I have read. I see the males in a couple of tall mature oaks in my nearby woods. They have a very distinct song. |

| Gldandrews: That's so sad, but how wonderful to have them nest in your yard!
Linth: Another great pic. I would so love to see one with my own eyes, but your photo is pretty close!
Murmur: I love your "Mutt & Jeff" photo.

| Bluegrassmom,
The one's I had nesting here in NC built in a oak tree the limb was overing the road.
In the Audobon Society's hand book of Birds it says they almost always nest in oaks.
When I saw the female with nesting material, that is how I found the nest, started looking in the oak's. |

| Gldandrews, sure hope they nest there again - and no jays show up. You must have been devastated (at least I would have been!) |

| Thanks Murmur, I was devastated. It is all a part of nature but it still was awful. They nest close by every year this was the first time I had actually found the nest. |

| Gldandrews: Any idea what attracted them to nest near you? I'm hoping to at least attract one to "visit" this year. Do you know what they like to eat? Any thoughts?
Thanks!

| I live in a secluded wooded area in the mountains is the only thing I can think of. No special kind of food or anything that I do, just lucky I guess. |

| Maybe they prefer the mountains over the low country! :)
Thanks,

| We started a new Daily Pics Page 1 (without a date in the title), hopefully it will be a little less confusing. Thanks!

| That's great pelletory, I do think with it having the date a lot of people thought it was an older one. Good idea. |

| Just seeing the photos of the painted buntings in this thread for the first time. Those are really great photos. Actually, all of the photos are great. |
