Wow! Well that was truly wonderful selection of your favourites for each month. happy New Year to you and may 2015 be good to you.
Good morning Eileen. These are amazing birds. Happy New Year to you too. Christa
What a great collection! I think my favourite would be that little fluffball of a Pine Warbler, though there are several there I'd love to see, and a few others I really enjoyed seeing.

Marvelous selection!!
Wish you a magical 2015!!
i did leave a comment. but it did not do it normal thing of telling me it was going to be approved by you 1st? i hope it went through??! ( :
It's hard to choose, but I think September steals the show for me :)
Wonderful pictures, I love these birds !! Happy New Year!
Oh my gosh Eileen, you had a marvelous year for sightings. Delightful photos! It has been a real pleasure visiting your blog. I wish you and your family A Very Happy and Healthy New Year!
Holy cow! You've had a great year. (I love the look you captured with the warbler :)
Great shots all! I am not sure which is the best photograph from a technical or aesthetic standpoint, but I would imagine the top bird would be the Snowy Owl. Best wishes for the New Year.
2014 was obviously a great year for beautiful photos of birds. I hope 2015 will present you with many more opportunities for gorgeous captures.
My favorites are the owl and the scarlet tanager, Eileen. But all your bird pictures are lovely.
Great selection! I think my favorite of the above is the shot of the scarlet tanager!
Such a treat you are . . .
Happy New Year of Birding . . .
With such a great selection you made it very difficult to pick my favourite Eileen. I think it has to be the American Bittern though because they are so difficult to see hiding in the reeds like they do.
Wishing you the Best of Birding in 2015.
Hello Eileen,
What a splendid array of birds you could photograph this year.
It's always a pleasure to visit you blog.
I wish you and your family a very happy and healthy New Year.
they are all wonderful, i think my favorite is the dusky grouse.. no idea why, just appeals to me.. love that red tanager to...
I'm glad I don't have to pick a favorite - they all are wonderful!!! What a year.
The face of the owl in the first picture is priceless !
Happy New Year to you !
Just beautiful. We just put the bird feeders up outside out new home. In reading your post I decided when the birds come back, it will truly feel like we're home!

What fantastic shots, Eileen! That snowy owl! And the towhee reminds me a bit of our grosbeak. Okay, I'm not a birder, so my knowledge is limited mostly to color and shape of beak. lol That is a wonderful photo of the grouse! Happy 2015 to you and may you find many more birds. :-)
Hello Eileen, so beautiful all the birds!
Spectacular photos!
Thanks for your greetings!
I wish you and your Family a Happy New Year with health, love and peace!
Hugs,

All beautiful but the Snowy owl and the Eagle get my votes!! Happy New Year to you...
Very nice. I love the pine warbler. Looks like he's defending his food source !
These are wonderful! I love the young eagle, warbler, and herons! Great photos!
All are beautiful choices, though I love the Tanager and the Owl!
That Snowy and Eagle are my picks, Eileen, although the Herons and Bittern are great too!...:)JP
Thrilling photos!

I tried to pick out a favorite but just couldn't decide. They are all super.
FAAAAABULOUS! I just LOVE the Snowy Owl and I thought it'd be my favourite until I got to the Scarlet Tanager!!! Of course you know that anything RED gets my vote :) Have a wonderful New Year, and all the best for 2015, my friend! I wish happy travels and awesome birding for you!!
Hi Eileen, I vote owl and juvie eagle. Have a great New Year's Eve tomorrow!
You've seen some fabulous birds, and got some outstanding pictures!
I love this review ... You are the best birder! I couldn't pick a favorite.
Hi Eileen, I enjoyed seeing your year in review through the subject of birds. There are some spectacular captures throughout the year. I did a similar idea on my blog today and used 1-3 photos from each month of blogging over the year.
I want to wish you the Happiest of New Years and look forward to reading more from you then! xx
The grouse is really pretty. I read we may have another chance to see the Snowy Owls further south again this winter.
So many fantastic birds. I love all the Herons and look forward to more wonderful pictures next year. Happy New Year to you Eileen.
They are very impressive!!!
Happy new year to you and your family!
Awesome photos! I wish you a happy new year 2015!

Happy New Year Eileen! You've had an amazing trek. Now with retirement......:)
All the birds are beautiful Eileen. My favorites though are the cute little yellow one and the red one.
I with you and your family a wonderful and happy 2015.
First off - CONGRATULATIONS EILEEN on your RETIREMENT!!! How wonderful!!!
I enjoyed looking at your favorite photos and liked and was surprised by your July photo with the Blue Heron with a GATOR in the background!!!! In Maryland?????
Yikes!!
An adorable range of birds. The little yellow warbler particularly enchants me. He looks a little like a large canary.
Thank you so much for your many visits to my Fur and Wings blog.
Happiest New Year to you and your family.
Suzan, I had to go back and look at my July photo with the Little Blue Heron.. I think the "gator is actually a log or something sticking out of the water.. I am pretty sure there are no gators in Maryland..
Thank you, Gemma! Happy New Year to you!
What a wonderful lineup, Eileen! I think I'd put the owl in the #1 spot.
Have a really good New Year!
Super collection! Happy New Year!
Wonderful birds!! Happy New Year!!!
I cannot pick a fav of your collection, they are all awesome! Have a great new year of birding!phyllis
Wonderful collection of birdie pics, Eileen. Have a Happy New Year!

Thank you for sharing your bird photos. Have a great 2015!
Wow! Fantastic series. You are such a great birder...Love all my bird friends.. Happy New Year dear Eileen..Michelle
It looks like you had a super year in 2014 Eileen! I wish you all the best birding in 2015 as well. Due to other commitments I haven't been able to make the rounds of my favorite blogs for quite some time and I apologize for that. I am totally envious of the Snowy Owl photo and sighting. I still have never seen one (yet). You got a super shot of the Virginia Rail but it is really fair to show us the magnificent Violet Sabrewing from Belize? I'm turning green now ;-)
Love the Green Heron and Bittern but I'm amazed at the Dusky Grouse photo! What did you do, almost step on the poor bird? Great sighting!
Have a wonderfully Happy and Prosperous New Year Eileen!
