[shutterflyd50]

Hi all i was just wondering what everyones favorite bird is or which one is on thier life list that they want to see or take a pic of!

Mine is a Red-brested Nuthatch, pileated, and a kingfisher!

my favorite would have to be bushtit, and I would love to take a picture of a Lark Bunting (got my nickname bunting boy from counting this bird, they wanted to get my attention so they starting yelling "bunting boy")

Favorite is the crow, American style.

my primary photo need at the moment is a male 'akepa, but I also hope to get access to the 'alala (hawaiian crow) pen at some point for a photo, as well. Nihoa finch and nihoa millerbird would certainly be once-in-a-lifetime birds to see.

KAKAPO...having been lucky enough to spend 2 weeks on Whenou Hou in early 2002, the last significant (and how!) breeding season...I can't begin to describe the electric atmosphere on the island at that time...new nests discovered daily...unheard of in living memory...SUPERB...and having spent 4 weeks on Rangatira about 1 month previously...Chatham Island Petrel (ChIPs) in the hand, Shore Plover, Chatham Oyc, etc, et bleedin cetera...AWESOME in every which way, shape, form...you describe it...

Pileated Woodpecker, Prothonotary Warbler, Yellow-billed Cuckoo

If extinct birds are allowed replace those with Passenger Pigeon, Carolina Parakeet, and Ivory-billed Woodpecker as my top favorites!

mine is the red breasted nuthatch.
i like the shade of blue on its back.
i was lucky enough to have one take a peanut from my hand one day this late spring, while filling my feeders.
guess he just couldn't wait.

It seems to change day to day with me - and I assume alot of you folks too. But I have to say regardless of its regularity, the "Black-Capped Chickadee" has to be one of the most amazing birds! I can never get tired of seeing one of these tiny dignified birds. They seem to project so many contradictory persona's - humble yet confident, ecstatic yet contemplative, not enough adjectives for them - what an amazing little critters!

I think my favorite is the Hooded Warbler. I have never seen one in person so it remains to be seen if this is truly my favorite. I love the way these birds look. As far as the Birds I have seen live and in person. I would have to say the Baltimore Oriel. They are wonderful birds with a great look and musical song.

 

[Storm-Petrel]

I think my faves right now are the scolopacids, Icterids, Tyrannids (especially the empids and contopus), and corvids (especially common raven and green jay)

I dont have a favorite species, that is much to hard!

Top of my favorites are Red Tailed Hawk, Double Crested Comorants and American Bittern.
