Are these young goldfinches?

According to the Blog Goddess, you have a great case of Pine Siskins! Congratulations! And I'm sticking to this story until we hear otherwise...Thanks, Lynda, for more great pictures!

OK - So I'm Reading In My Sunroom When...

...this big guy flew by. Then he walked around my yard for 15 or so minutes - just scouting out the place. I grabbed my camera and took lots of bad shots in an attempt not to frighten him away. So here's the best of them and until one of you bird experts tell me differently, I'm calling him/her a wild turkey. What do you think? (Click on the picture to see a larger image.)

Who Am I?

What kind of bird is this? It acts very tame. I can get about 4 feet away before it flies, even if I'm mowing the lawn. It spends most of the day on the ground below the feeders eating what has spilled. It CAN fly, but it waits til the last minute. I'm afraid the stupid cat two doors down is going to get it. I've never seen one act this way and can't say I've ever seen a bird that looks like this one. I watched it walk around the ground and both legs/feet seem to be okay. Got any ideas? Is it a baby??

Couldn't Resist!

None of us took this picture. In fact, I have no idea who took it. I don't even know what kind of bird it is. That usually will get a shot thrown out but I couldn't resist. The picture arrived in my email with the title "How to tell if you are Mom's favorite". Enjoy!
