lackbird This Blackbird shows up in my garden almost every day. He prefers to eat from the ground, but I put the birdfood a little bit higher and that is not so easy for him. He tries to take some food in a fly but that is very hard, he tries it again and again and again. At the moment of the picture he sits on a piece of wood, waiting to make a new fly/dive to the food.
Janet, what a surprise to have such a nice bird in your garden!
No they are different, in Europe we don't have junco's and I think you have no bullfinches.
I think (just like you) that the colors of your bird are brighter than the one on the picture that Donna sent. I have no idea what it is. greetings Aafke
I see the falcon on the Amsterdam webcam a lot. Today 3 times, I saw him for the last time a few minutes ago. I looked on the site and I read that last year the first egg was on March 1.
and can they be someone elses pics? Like if you find a great pic on the internet, can we use that?
No I think it's better not to use pictures from the internet, it can give problems with who took it and probably it will give an higher level of pictures. But I have to say that I received very good pictures!
Something else, I received a "snow" webcam picture from you and I think it's a good idea to have an other "Snow" contest with only webcam pictures!!! greetings Aafke
Today there was a bird of prey visable on the webcam eating from some pieces of meat. Sometimes I saw him together with small birds like in the picture with the sparrows. He wasn't interested in the other birds , he was only eating from the meat. Maybe it's an injured bird too just like the Storks.
