| Haven't seen many raptors around here lately so I thought I'd start us out with this old pic of one.
Would anyone like to guess what type it is? I'll let Resin tell you whether its right; I'm off to take a much needed nap.

| Great pictures everyone!
Today I added another new bird to my life list ... the Wilson's Phalarope.
They were a fair distance from shore and it was almost sunset; so my pictures didn't turn out very good. Even so, I don't recall ever seeing these birds on this forum; so I decided to post a couple of the pictures I took.
Here's a picture of the whole flock.

| Here's as close as I could get (with a lot of cropping) to one of the phalaropes,
In addition to this being a new bird, I couldn't quit laughing as I watched them. They have the most unusual feeding habit, spinning in circles, which creates a vortex that helps raise food to the surface. Seeing the whole bunch of them spinning around almost made me dizzy.
I found this video that shows one of them feeding.
[HYPERLINK@ibc.hbw.com]
Can you imagine seeing 30-40 of them doing this all at once?

She kept flying in and out I would pot up a few plants and then move away so she could come and go. All the time I could hear her mate giving signals. LOL

Landscaping is taking time from my picture taking, but I do have news! The Cardinal nest in the holly bush has at least one egg in it. I could not get up any higher to see if there were more.

Pelle I'm guessing Sharp-shinned on your hawk, looks just like one that visited me often over the winter.
I was thrilled to see a Green-tailed Towhee today. A few years ago there was a small flock living in some shrubs in my yard but then I didn't see them for a long time.
This isn't a great picture, hopefully I will see some again

| You all have been very busy since I've been "gone"! I am enjoying catching up on all the new birds everyone is getting. Lovely shots everyone, keep them coming! Angele...congrats on the Hummer and the Green-tailed Towhee!
It is cold for our area (in the 30's last night and freeze warning for tonight)! Same thing happened last year and this area lost lots of plants and fruit. I hope our little birds will be OK. We now have 2 Male Indigo Buntings as well as at least 1 female. They are now eating at the feeders and seem to have settled in for the summer. That just thrills me!!!
The Baltimore Orioles are still visiting and I hope I can get more pics of them today as well as the pair of Ruby-throated Hummers. The Orioles are finally using the feeders as well!
Great shot of the SS Hawk Pelle!!
I had a Dickcissel visit yesterday...a first! I only got this one crummy pic but will share it anyway! I hope he returns as he is very beautiful.

| Rats! I had a white-crowned sparrow (first for me) but it was further away and I thought it was a White-throated. By the time I put the binoculars down and picked up the camera, it was gone. grrrrr |

| Trying out a new program...didn't work that good, it was supposed to have a wrap around text saying Female Black-headed Grosbeak. It's there but not readable.
