1. Love that wood thrush.

I wish we had those where I am. :thumbsup:

[Inchworm]

2. I am also being tormented by a couple Brown Thrashers

I need to figure out manual focus on my camera. The lil guys REFUSE to get in a spot where they will be the focus.

Thanks for the nod. That means a lot coming from a hero of mine ;)

3. White Mountain Alpine view

The summit of Agiocochook (Mt Washington in NH) just covered up by a swiftly moving cloud (high winds that day) from the intersection of Boot Spur and Davis Path where you can see some of our (those of us lucky enough to live near the White Mountains of NH) unique alpine environment.

5. Beautiful!

You would have probably laughed your ass off at me trying to say Agiocochook though :P

8. great thread, great pictures!!

:loveya: I gave up and helped the squirrels, my feeders are open dishes and the birds get what they leave, which is a lot.

This is my pic, the bat houses mounted behind my veggie garden->

One of my black squirrels->


I didn't take these, it's just sweet baby turtle action!

9. Awesome

At first I thought that was a birdfeeder on pole. I was looking for a rope or something. I want to make some bat houses for around here. They keep the bugs down I guess. Well, that and I think they are cool :D
