We have had a pair of American Crows visiting us for the past couple of days, taking shelled peanuts meant for the Blue Jays, and also some American Robins have stopped by for a drink.
Some friends and I visited the river last night and both the American Dipper and Slaty-backed Gull put in an appearance, the Gull didn't show until 8:30pm though, in near dark.
The gull ended up being a lifer for all of us , so we toasted the fact at a downtown pub before heading home.
I didn't bother taking photos of the Gull last night as it was mostly sleeping .
Here are two pics from the yard :

I really enjoy your pictures Nick.
So many different birds I'll probably never see in the 'feather', but always interesting.
Nick,
I am so behind in getting to everyone's blogs..sorry. You really do get to see such a variety of birds and other animals..and of course your pics are always so nice. I'm glad you got to enjoy the Am. robin..one of my favs..such a sweet series of songs!!
Wow I would love to get birds in my backyard, but this is not gonna happen. I love the junco shot but the second is also very nice on it srock.
...such a sweet photo of such a sweet bird--the junco. Congrats on the lifer--the impromptu party was a great way to end the day!
Lovely shots, I haven't seen too many juncos lately either but the robins are everywhere.
Your dark eyed junco is a lovely shot. I like the robin too.
Such wonderful places, so different from where I have lived. The Hamlet of Gordon, Ohio is where I was born and raised and it is how small hamlets used to be and this one still exists.

The robin looks so all-American. Nice job
