The bird picture thread

[carole]

But for some reason Carole, I can't see most of your pics except the one's in the last page. ??

Fixed
I went to delete a duplicate picture in webshots and ended up deleting the whole album. Now I'm trying to find where I posted pictures and put them back.

Here's a pretty one (not a bird but it does fly and have wings :

This thread has convinced me - I need a new camera!

I am embarrassed to post this due to its wretched quality, but there was some interest on the Catskill Loon thread to actually see the loon. I could make all the disclaimers and caveats (i.e. excuses - bad light, tough weather conditions, etc), but instead I'll call the pictures "artsy" and claim that the graininess/fuzziness is intentional.

At great risk of setting the jokers up with a perfect straight line, I have to ask: How does one sex a loon?

Here's one of the newest additions to the Squam River wildlife!

We have also seen two broods of 8-9 Common Mergansers and a pile of fluffy Black Duck ducklings.
