What a grand bunch of bird photos we're treated to today, from a trio of photographers. The first two photos come from Frederic W. Koski, who sure has a knack for sneaking up on unsuspecting critters and grabbing just the perfect shot. His Flicker photo shows off the colors this bird sports with the yellow breast feathers and the red plume at the back of its head. As if that wasn't enough, he snapped a vivid blue picture of a Blue Jay in the midst of gathering material to build a nest.

Donna MacIntosh snapped the third photo, as this Rose-breasted Grosbeak made a dinner stop at her feeder. Actually, I think it might be admiring the pretty, blue feeder decoration its sitting on. Then we have another Blue Jay shot and a magnificent Blue Heron photo, too, from Melanie Hakala Rossi. Her Blue Jay is gobbling up some corn that was on the ground and the Heron just seems to be enjoying a wade in the water, while enjoying the setting sun.

Beautiful shots one and all, thanks for the bird-watching fun today.

Great pictures!! Nothing means spring like birds!! It's so nice to wake up in the morning and hear them chirping outside.

That 2nd bluejay looks so different to me. They're all awesome shots!! Thanks!! I bet Russ is going to love the pictures today!!

Wonderful pictures! I know Blue Jays are ornery, but I just love them!

Just after noon we finally had power restored - and Pasty.NET broadband - here in Eagle River. Quite an outage since about 5 this morning, affecting mainly the western half of the U.P. Fortunately the Pasty Central family of websites stayed up during this outage.

I love listening to the birds sing in the morning. Such a beautiful sound of them chirping to one another.

By Marianne Y (Marianne) on Tuesday, May 10, 2011 - 01:44 pm:

Happy Birthday, Mary! :-)

By Thomas Baird (Thomas) on Tuesday, May 10, 2011 - 03:24 pm:

Pretty birds.

By Donna (Donna) on Tuesday, May 10, 2011 - 03:47 pm:

Happy Birthday Mary!

I took the hair out of the brush after brushing my cat, and threw it on the ground outside. I watched lots of birds come and get their share. So there's black cat hair in many nests this year! :D

Beautiful colors eh?

By Alex "UP-Goldwinger" (Alex) on Tuesday, May 10, 2011 - 05:03 pm:

Happy B-Day Mary. If I were my turn to spank you, how many would it take?
I know...29 times, right? :)
Have a great day and make sure your hubby takes you out for a nice dinner.

"Wonderful" pics!

By Helen Marie Chamberlain (Helen) on Tuesday, May 10, 2011 - 09:58 pm:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARY!

Donna, we used to have a Sheltie mix, and when we brushed her in the spring, we would throw her fur over the deck. The Tufted Titmice loved it for their nests, and we always expected to have some new little birdies that barked instead of sang!

Hope you've had a great birthday, Mary!

By Capt. Paul (Eclogite) on Tuesday, May 10, 2011 - 10:52 pm:

Something tells me Mary most likely ended up at the Ambassador tonight...... ;-)

Happy B-Day Mary!!

Mary says: Well, Capt. Paul, your "something" misinformed you, because actually I had a delicious birthday dinner at the Hut, where the birthday diner, eats free! :->
