Well, it's a little intimidating posting bird photos when you look at the images in this thread. But South America has to represent.
I took a walk to the river this afternoon.

Nice photos everyone!
Bob, I like those Pine Siskins (I hope I'm right, it's 3:45 am, can't sleep and don't have a book handy).
I've been trying for them in OC for 2 yrs. We did see them in the San Bernardino Mtns. last year.

Gorgeous all! As is usually the case! Our Pine Siskin count was waaaay down this year. Not sure why. Hope they come back as they are regulars at our feeders (and partly responsible for our having four nyger feeders in a tiny area!).
LOVE seeing the South American birds CClarke! Keep 'em coming!!

Those Sparkling Violeteers are awesome. That's a big ass hummer.
Post anything from So. Am., we love 'em.
Today I had a bird I'd never heard of before. The Swan Goose. There were 3 at Carr Park in HB.
....and got the Mute Swan for 2014...I used my mtn. bike for the 5 mile round trip before work...
I finished with FOY House Sparrow, RAD!

Dee ee - there are many of those on my parents' property. They are adorable. One, I named Stalker, was very attached to me (and vice versa). I have many photos of him with me, in my lap, in my bed, everywhere. Sad day when Stalker died. :( I really loved that silly goose.

Crimpie, you're pretty bold with that goose!
Some of the Canadian Geese around here are downright scary and threatening.
Maybe the Swan Goose has a different temperament?

A few Robin pics for a Thursday morning. We love these guys, although obviously common, they are full of personality and song. We call them the "four thirty birdie" in the spring, when their song is like an alarm clock for early risers...

Stalker was very affectionate. The other geese would honk at him like they were taunting him. He preferred to hang with me though. He was so SOFT!
