Well it did have yellow legs and I thought it looked pretty great......... however when I just went to submit..... it came up as "rare"..... arg! Please tell me what it is then? ;-) Joanne

O.K.... I had to choose something for a species - so I chose orange-crowned warbler since maybe this is the closest? (though I don't see the orange crown...). If anyone knows what this is for sure please let me know and I'll change it! Joanne

Ole baldy is still coming for his peanuts daily..........

First glance - a blue vulture! Poor guy - pretty ugly at the moment. Does anyone know why some are like this? I've read conflicting theories...... nestmates pecking them, infestation of mites, a "bad" moult, poor nutrition, etc, etc. Anyway - this guy comes every day for peanuts - finally got a picture of him in my neighbours little oak tree. His feathers have grown in some - he was totally bald a couple weeks ago. There's another that comes that has about 1/2 it's head-feathers. joanne

This was exciting to me as it's the first one I've ever seen! I took the picture yesterday - I heard it first.... it seemed distressed and was making a sick-cat type sound. My husband went back to that spot again today, and it was still there today, in the same tree, making the same sound. Joanne

Not in Edmonton, but at a roadside rest area somewhere in B.C. I forget - lol - or I'd change it. Just posting to compare.....

A first for me - I have never seen one before! At Clifford E Lee.... Joanne

I saw 5 flocks - this was one of them - doing the circular thing..... then they headed off towards Jim's..... this was May 3, about1 p.m. Joanne

All the ducks were paired up today... it's SPRING ! !

I only saw 1 pigeon at the pond today.

Crows pairing up too.... gathering nesting material.....

She's diving for thrown seed... thought you might think this one was kinda cool.....

They're pairing up!

They're pairing up!

Can't you just hear him? Lol!

This was was really up high..... had to crop the picture. Seen in our river valley forest.

Taken last summer at my mom and dad's in B.C.... I hope that the location is working correctly because when I try to submit it says "extremely rare"..... I did try to change the location.....

And here's the rufous.... also taken last summer in B.C....

And Mr. house finch a minute later..... they are so pretty! Joanne

Here's another photo of a female housefinch on my fence...

Here's another view of the hawk from the other day - you can see the tail better here. I think it's a mature male cooper's hawk..... that's what I named the pictures anyway! :-) Joanne

Here is another photo of the cooper's.... showing the tail. Not sure how to add more than one photo at a time?

He came to my birdfeeder for sparrows!
