Hope we get some more this week! :)

Cheers, Klaus

In light of the Saw-whet Owl banding demo that I attended (and blogged about) on Friday, I am in this week with a pic of a Saw-whet that we found hanging out in the low branches of a tree (only about 24″ from the ground) on our annul Owl Prowl a few years ago.

Wonderful submissions already, hopefully we’ll get even more. I’ve added a couple of Great Egrets (Common Egrets? American Egrets? I’ve heard all three labels, which is correct?) for this week.

Thanks for hosting this great weekly meme, Birdfreak!

My contribution this week is a Male Northern Shoveler. I took this photo yesterday (10/27/2008) in Central Park, NYC.

I posted my submission for last week on the wrong week, so it didn’t get counted. Ah well. This time I think I have it right, and am joining in with a Lazuli Bunting that hit my window earlier in the year.

I have posted photos of a Whistling Kite

Didn’t find ya last week. Dark-eyed Juncos are really numerous right now so sending some your way.

Great picture I snapped of a Canada goose while we were feeding them at a nearby lake. Not an uncommon bird, but still photogenic.

I am back with the whooping crane again! I love these birds. Check out the juvenile’s beautiful plumage.

My photos are of a black-capped chickadee with a bill deformity

First timer here :D Cool meme! Mine is a black-headed grosbeak

15 Melissa October 31, 2008 at 12:26 pm

Another one to add to the list – an American Coot. Not the best picture in the world, but I’ve been aggravated long enough trying to get a pic of these shy birds.

16 The Birdfreak Team November 2, 2008 at 9:30 pm

Thanks a million for all those that participated this week! We added a Cedar Waxwing to the mix.

Kyle – Great Egrets is the “correct” term and we are glad you enjoy this weekly meme!!
