Saturday Scavenger Photo Hunt


This weeks theme is "Wild" so I thought I would share some of the wild birds that I have seen on my property over the last year.....

The American Golden Finch and Pinesiskin....

The Purple finch(male)

Downy Woodpecker

Varied Thrush

The Stellar Jay

The Northern Flicker(part of the woodpecker family)

So there you have it my take of the theme for this week...if you would like to join in on the fun, please check out tnchick for all of the instruction.

Happy Hunting all!!!

Hope the woodpeckers' wood-pecking doesn't bother you! ;b

And I always think that the birds are boring around here. You are proving me wrong. Have a great weekend Mary Anne, canner extraordinaire.

These are great! Your birds all look so exotic to me, and your photos are brilliant.

As an ex-nurse, I love your nursing humour post!

I love watching the birds out in the "wild"... not very knowledgeable at what they are but they are still fun to watch and beautiful to listen to!
A great post with such special little friends.

Hi Mary Anne, a great post on the "wild" birds in your part of the country...I would need a bird book to tell the species of birds around my home... I love the little finches..hugs, Baba

You and I are on the same wave link but you sure took a lot more bird picture then I.

The coffee is on.

What a wonderful series of bird photos for this week’s WILD PH theme! Thanks also for identifying each one for those of us who aren’t birders but who love to learn new things. I shared different WILD things on each of my blogs this week.
Hugs and blessings,

Those are beautiful birds. Amazing how many different kinds of birds you've seen in your area. It's great that you know all of them by name.
