Things you see when you look at your window

Steve, I miss my hummers.

What species is she? Rufous?

Drew

Most likely Anna's Hummingbird.

This guy paid us a visit last week...

Coopers hawk, from what we can tell. Kept the squirrels and LBB's out of sight for awhile.
We're in the city, but we see raccoons, 'possums, and the occasional raptors on a regular basis.

This is where a hawk hit a dove on one of my feeders...

Speaking of feeder raiders, these are a couple of my favorite photos taken a couple of autumns ago...

How many feeder raiders can you see in these photos?

Drew,
Go to google and put in "Roller Feeder".
The birds will get fed, the limb rats will go goofy, and you will laugh a bunch.
Best,
Gary

This isn't out the window, but about 100 yards down the drive, and it was taken a couple of summers ago, but I see these two boys around from time to time. I just happened to have my camera in the car this day.

Watching the bird feeder hanging below...

She scratched around in the seed for a minute, then wandered off...

Lunch time...live mealworms.

Female Ruby Throated Hummer...

One of these:

Reminds me of the Redheaded Mattress Thrasher.

Nice Photo!

One of these:

I have a sudden wave of camera envy...

Nice shot of a Pileated....

Great photos, all. LV Steve, I really liked that humminbird.

 

[AKtinman]

Thanks for the kind words on the Pileated photo!

They land on top of the post supporting the feeders and look into the dining room window. If they see any movement, off they go!

We have at least four of them in the neighborhood. Fun to watch.

Mickey,
you must have been around a long time to remember
the red-headed, double-breasted matress-thrasher.
They are best observed in their natural habitat.

Ugh I see Bayonne NJ!

 

[papajohn428]

During the winter my cats were sleeping all the time, so I put a birdfeeder right outside their favorite window, and now they're a lot busier, keeping an eye on the locals!

I first saw this guy from my front window. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to snap a picture before I ran outside with my rifle.
No "before" shot, but here's an "after" photo.

Sometimes you look out the window and see a white Christmas...



And sometimes the only white you see at Christmas is this...



This fella likes Christmas in Tenn and we enjoy watching him out the window.
