There She Is!

This is a female Red-winged Blackbird. They do not look anything like the male. I have been trying to photograph one for weeks, but no luck until today. They are often polygamous in the mating life, and migrate.

Gold in Those Trees

This is an American Goldfinch. The first I have photographed this spring. This made me so happy. There was three or four of them.

Last week, while we were hiking at Grand Lake Saint Marys, we saw a bird that looked like a finch, but it could have been a warbler. I missed the shot. This one was too busy munching down to pay much attention to us.

Postcard Cardinal

We have seen, and photographed, a large number of cardinals this week. Most of them have been males. This one was willing to wait for me to capture this photo. Such a beautiful bird.

A Flicker

Shortly after we captured the photos I posted yesterday, we ran across two Northern Flickers. They were almost as active as those woodpeckers we saw just up stream from this spot. I love the colors. The sky was so blue on Monday.

Hide-N-Seek or Love Spat

While hiking along the Miami River, we saw these two Downy Woodpeckers. At fist, I thought they were playing a little game of hide-n-seek, but they had a little tussle. Either way, it was kind of cute.
