Photos, Books and Birds


Here we can post photos of birds we see while bird-watching, and about good bird books. I will post a list of birds I've seen, and a bird suet recipe.

I think that is a wonderful idea.

I've got a few hanging out on my backyard feeder, I don't know if I can get any closeup pictures, though.

Yeah, we can post about different bird feeders here also, and which feeders work best with which birds.

P.S. I hope to post the suet recipe later.

I got this picture earlier:



The woodpecker is a "red-bellied woodpecker" with mourning doves. I'm planning on posting a photo of a bird house I built a while back soon.

I built this myself, (with a little help from my Dad ) and I hope to build and sell bird houses someday. On this one I even put two rooms in the roof for the birds.

Great photo of the Wood Pecker and the Mourning Doves! That's a pretty nifty bird house you made!

Oh, that's very much a photo (thanks for the compliment) He glided right across the field - about 50' in front of me, snowy backdrop behind him with the sun glowing off his back. All I needed to do was click away (and keep him in the viewfinder)....but - then - that's what I do!!

Very nice!! 2 males!! Are the females around, too? Have you had them there in prior years or is this a first appearance? Either way, you should have them for years to come as they find their home and keep it!!
