There are several large flocks of escaped, naturalized Peacocks that call this area home. These were taken in an old cemetery here in Dunedin. I teased, cajoled, begged, and even tried flirting with this male peacock. But I could not entice him to spread his feathers for me LOL.

Beautiful pics dreamer !!!!

Dreamer those are great photos! Beautiful birds! Thanks for sharing them. Keep 'em coming!!

Two new birds yesterday!!

Bewick's Wren (Thryomanes bewickii)

Black-throated Sparrow (Amphispiza bilineata)

unfortunately the photos are very grainy as I couldn't get very close to them and had to use the computer to zoom closer. Oh well... see this is why I want to get a teleconverter

OK I am gonna share my birds with guys, but please remember I am not a photographer LOL. Hope I have these sized correctly.
These were taken at a local Boat Ramp in brackish water on March 9,2007
Dunedin, Florida USA

Greater Egret

Great Blue Heron

Great photos Kru-Kab and Cerinthe!
Kru-Kab - that's a LOT of gulls!!! wow!

Great photo Cerinthe... :shock: Congrats....
I think the english name of Turdus iliacus is Redwing

This morning I have been to the abbey and saw a few great birds. Great spotted woodpecker Dendrocopos major, displaying Great crested grebe Podiceps cristatus, and a wren Troglodytes troglodytes with nest material in it's beak.
There were no less than 8 Canadian geese and in their midst I saw one greylag goose Anser anser. Whether he was joined to this group I do not know, because they were still there when I left. I saw one only egyptian goose too.
Apart from the usual I saw and managed to capture a pic of this redwing Turdus iliacus

Wow... what a lot of gulls - that is amazing.
The Black Scoters and Harlequin Ducks were also interesting - have never seen them.
