I'd not seen that - thanks for sharing it Nita.
If Sadie is anything like most Greys, she's got quite the mouth on her! :) Glad the two connect for the better.

A 'friend' on facebook takes amazing wildlife photos. He got a photo of a warbler today and is trying to figure out if it is a Black throated Green Warbler or a Townsend's Warbler.
I can't copy and paste the photo here. Would you bird gurus go to his page and let me know what you think and why?

I look forward to hearing your thoughts...

Facebook now shows the photos in a way that at least I can't figure out how to capture them. Right clicking doesn't work (at least it didn't last time I tried). I'll try again.
edit: Did you get that from his site? How'd you do that? Why a Black Throated versus a Townsend's. Curious. Thanks for the input!

Cool! How the heck did you lift that photo? I only get a 'save page' option and then I get a ton of text. I'm losing my mind. Thanks also for the thoughts on the two birds. Something I'd forgotten to consider (and someone on his page reminded me of) is region. Townsend's are not common there. Learn something new everyday!

So I did it differently. I don't see an 'inspect element' option. Perhaps because I'm on firefox? If I click on their photo, I can't copy it. If I right click on it when it's small on their page, I can copy image location, add the tags, and voila. I went for the Bay-Breasted for my test. :)
edit: phooey. It works, but it's tiny. Let me fool with it some more.

Ha! That's the simulation photo. Still cracks me up.
So I went to IE. It offers a 'save picture as' option. Using it, I get this:
schwing! success!

When I was a kid growing up near Golden, Co. a huge flock of these waxwings would stop off in our backyard twice a year on their migration. I thought they were the most beautiful birds I'd ever seen, their color is so unique. Some of them were almost green.

I spent my first *non-climbing* weekend in Leavenworth Wa, and so I came back with some bird photos. For those not familiar with Leavenworth aside from being the gateway town to the Icicle Canyon cragging area and the Alpine Lakes wilderness area, is also the 'the Bavarian Disneyland of Washington. My wife and I stayed in a beautiful house a little uphill on the east side of Icicle Creek just after it leaves the Canyon. The house had a feeder.
Yeah, it was beautiful weather and a little frustrating not climbing, but I met a good group of locals. I know it's a duh, but just traveling to the other side of the mountains sure makes a difference with birding.
We saw a White Headed Woodpecker that I didn't get a chance to photograph. Last year I saw a Blackbacked Woodpecker up a couple thousand feet in a burn area.
I think I know what this is, but ...
And this one that would just not come into focus:
