Scissor Tail Flycatcher
These seem to like it on the power lines. We never see them anyplace else, just on the lines above the small pond.

Re: Steph\'s Nature Pics
Really nice pictures, Eddie; makes me want a new camera. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif In addition to the sparrows, we've had cardinals, doves, mockinbirds, and blue jays at our bird feeder this year. Oddly enough, I've only seen one robin this year and it was a couple of blocks from our place, and I've only seen one bluebird this year. But unfortunately, we've got a flock of grackles that have taken up residence in the trees across the backyard. I'm trying to discourage and run them off, but don't know how much luck I'll have.

Re: Steph\'s Nature Pics
Hi Bird,
We have a chart with all the birds we've been able to identify on our land and what month we see them. We're at 29 so far and know there's allot more than that here right now that we haven't been able to identify.
Two hawks for sure, but there's another, smaller faster one. We can hear an owl, but haven't seen any. We've seen two types of ducks, but there was a third in the pond one morning that we couldn't figure out what it was. We've only identified one type of sparrow so far. There are several birds in Tyler that we see, but none out here.
It's actually quite time consuming to figure it all out, but thankfully Steph just loves it!! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

These grow wild here. They are all over the place and are just amazing.

Whitetail Deer
These have to be about the smallest deer on the planet!! I'm no expert, but I'd say she weighs around 80lbs and her fawn was probably 20 pounds. They are just so pretty and even sexy looking.

Summer Tanager
The first time she spotted one of these, I figured she'd lost her mind and it was just a Cardinal in bad light. She was convinced it wasn't a Cardinal because she said it had a grey beak. hmmm
After weeks of trying with her other camera, she was able to get a picture of one with the new Cannon.

??? Butterfly
This is a totally new area for us. We don't know a thing about them other than the basics. Catapiller, cacoon, butterfly. That's about it. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Anybody know what this one is called?

Titmouse,
No comment on the name of this bird, but it does make you wonder who comes up with these names and what do they mean? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Nice Eddie,
Very very nice pics, I am partial to the humingbirds, they are so neat. we have a bunch of them in Vt!!! I am totally amazed that those things can fly such great distances. From Canada to South America, just amazing. Thanks for sharing /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
