1. STUNNING pictures!

The birds look so majestic, and I really miss the fall foliage (we have some here in north Texas, but nothing like western Pennsylvania or even eastern Kansas). Thanks for posting!

[Haole Girl]

3. Thank you

You just have to know where to look! Agreed, though, N. Texas is nothing like Pennsylvania in the Autumn. :hi:

[Haole Girl]

7. Very nice pictures!

Thanks for posting.

I wish we had fall here.

[Haole Girl]

8. Thank you

I did sort of miss Autumn when I lived in Los Angeles. It seemed almost unnatural to see flowers growing outside in November!

9. i was hoping someone would tell me what kind of birds those are

:shrug:

20. Double-Crested Cormorants, Mallards, Great Egret

[Haole Girl]

22. Double-Crested Cormorants?

Do they have white around their neck(s)?

Thanks... I know egrets and mallards. I've never seen those big birds in this area before. :hi:

[XemaSab]

24. Cormorants can sometimes have some whitish, yes

:hi:

[Haole Girl]

26. I guess it is the wrong part of the country for vultures

:hi:

[XemaSab]

27. I think vultures are everywhere.

American vultures do not have those long, long necks.

Fall is the most gorgeous time of the year.

[Haole Girl]

12. Thanks

Yes, often I think it is. Then, sometimes I think springtime is. :-)

[Haole Girl]

13. Thanks, bigwillq

I wish Maestro would stop by & tell me what birds those were... they looked like vultures.

14. My dear Haole Girl!

Wow, sweetie!

These are wonderful, and make me wish I had fall colors here...

I especially like the third from the last, the individual leaf. Just exquisite!

The birds are gorgeous, and sorry, I have no idea what they are!

You might PM Maestro...

Thanks for sharing!

:hug:

[Haole Girl]

15. Thank you very much, Peggy

Unfortunately, my PM function is turned off (need it that way for my peace of mind). At times like this, though, I wish my PM's were operational. :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. You could open it for him...

and nobody else...

Or post these in the Photo forum...

I'm sure someone there would help!

:hug:

[Haole Girl]

17. How does one open up a PM function for just a specific person?

The photo forum? um...

These photos are nowhere near the caliber of that groups!

Thanks for the ideas, though. :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. Uh...I'm not sure, actually...

Would you like me to PM him?

I'd be happy to help!

:hug:

[Haole Girl]

19. lol!

That might work... thanks. :hug: You know he'll be embarrassed by this!

:hide:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. I'll PM him...

And I'll include a link to your thread!

He's not around much, so I hope he'll respond!

Not to worry......he's a sweetheart!

:hug:

[Haole Girl]

23. Thanks

You're right, though... he's not around much. The only one I'm not 100% sure about is the identity of the big birds. :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

25. And it's sent!

[Maestro]

28. XemaSab gave you the correct IDs

And wonderful fall colors I might add. :thumbsup:

[Haole Girl]

29. Thanks

And thank you for dropping by! :hi:
