Can we get a Gallery page in this forum?
Comments (9)Well... Now that Spike has sold the site to iVillage, there might be some other unknown-to-us criteria or threshold that the new owners have in order to start up new forums or side-forums from a main one (like a "Conversations", "Gallery", "Exchange", etc). Guess we'll have to see. I'm still amazed at how this site has grown over the years since I started lurking and posting around '98 - '99 and finally joining when the option became available in 2001. Incredible!...See MorePictures! Let's see them.
Comments (67)I second Steve on everyone's pics, they all look so gorgeous! Poly I am so happy to hear that your garden is beginning to grow since I remember talking at the swaps about all the difficulty you have. Like Poly I am terribly grateful for all your advise and all the plant starts I have gotten from you all. Connie, I am happy to share my penstemon cuttings with you if I can get them to root. This year I had 20 going hoping to bring them to the swap which by chance I missed but somehow they all didn;t take root. I am not sure what I did differently last year. The plant doesnt' seem to spread by roots or anything of that sort or may be slow to do so therefore I am not sure how to get more because I like more of them around the rest of the garden and in case they peter out one season. The only think I can think of is maybe the long cold spring was the reason? The Verbascum is supposed to reseed according to Bluestone's description but I see no signs of that yet? I only got these last summer. Skybird, your yellow columbine is begining to put out more blooms and they are lovely. Anyway I had picked up more plants today at the Flower Bin in Longmont - everything is 20% off this weekend. Coincidently I picked up a Callirhoe and a Veronica Royal Candles which I had my heart set on for a long time and Skybird, your RC looks so good I am glad I had gotten them. I also picked up several Lychnis Chalcedonia and a couple of Coreopsis Zagreb and a Mercury Rising - reddish wine blossoms looked striking and was smitten. PS: I am not sure what the heck was going on with the image codes. I've posted with the exact same html image embedding code but somehow this time after submitting a lot of the code changed characters. Well I am glad the link version worked. Well I am pooped for the day and speaking of poop....I'll start a new post about that! Love, love, love everyone's pictures! Thanks for starting this thread Cat...See Morepost your bird picture let see how many we can get
Comments (144)The hawk in Menifee, CA can only be a Cooper's Hawk but it is an oddly-colored one. Something going on with the feathers, such as a heavy molt or missing feathers for some other reason. If you have other photos please post....See Morelets keep this one going...roll call PAGE 2
Comments (69)Wow! Sure a lot of people showed up for roll call. Good thing I decided to come back to visit after being absent for a few weeks. Please add me to your (ever-growing) list.

Common Redpoll, but not so common in my backyard. Lucky to get a shot of this one last summer.

I'm gonna assume this was a hawk, plenty of them around here, but it was just too far to be sure. I just love the shot anyway, such a blue sky and he was like : "I OWN THIS PLACE!"

Nice tranquil scene with geese on Lake Ontario, photo taken a few years ago while out on a dog walk.

I posted this one on another thread, but it's worthy of a second look. This female cardinal is so puffed up against the cold, looks like she swallowed a grapefruit. Love this pic! Photo taken a couple of weeks ago.

Hi I have seen the rose grosbeak a couple of time here in Quebec but both times it has been rainy. So now I watch for him when it is raining out. I do have a pair of cardinals at my feeder this winter but not today it is very windy so I have not seen any birds at all and we have blue sky. tomorrow I will be full up my feeder with the nasty wind the seeds will blow away. Here is a picture of a hawk I also feed him pigeons in the summer he comes down grabs one and off he goes But I need more of them around cause I have about 25 pigeons in my backyard most of the summer
Thanks for posting your pictures love them

Eastern North Carolina after several inches of snow. It's a busy place! Chickadees, Brown headed and White Breasted Nuthatches, American Goldfinches, Chipping Sparrows, Pine Warblers, Carolina Wrens, Juncos and even a Bluebird stopped by for some suet.

I love the big bird feeder I guess no squirrel can get at the food. Have not seen them here in Quebec I guess the pigeons also cannot get at the food I bought a new bird feeder last year and it work pretty good for the pigeons and grackles only problem not more than 3 small birds can eat at one time

My 9 year old son has been enjoying taking pictures of the birds visiting our feeders. This year is the first time we have had pine warblers visit us!

New bird in my area, a Fox Sparrow. They do indeed dig with both feet at the same time, just like my book says!

Don, seriously, don't be humble - or rather, your wife should be proud of that owl pic! Rare to get a chance to take a pic of one so close to your deck, lucky her!
Here's the latest from yesterday in non-stop snow: a little house sparrow all fluffed up.

This forum has been a wonderful source of info and the photos have made it much easier to make a hobby of birding. Threads like these have added a new dimension to the time my wife and I spend outdoors as no birds go without notice. Thanks for sharing.

12 years agoIn Central Illinois- usually only see a few towhees the whole summer and have never seen them in the winter. There must have been a small flock of them that spent their days under the feeders in the yard this past weekend. Really enjoying all the photos.
