The Migration Happens

Over the past 3 days, we have seen many migratory birds. Red-winged Blackbirds, American Goldfinch, and others. I am always frustrated when I can’t get ‘that’ shot. You know, the perfect photo. This week has been like that. I finally managed to capture a photo of a Red-winged Blackbird.

The moon photo ... well, it was 3:00p, and the sun and moon were both as big as life. I could not resist.

Keeping An Eye On The Enemy

I caught these two mourning doves on a cold winter afternoon as they were relaxing on this branch. No, I don’t know how to tell the boys from the girls.

What you can’t see is the red-tailed hawk that is about 20 feet away from this spot. If I were a small bird, I would sure be nervous. They were relaxed, or at least seemed to be.

“Nothing To See Here .. “

Adjustments.jpeg

I captured this photo of this cardinal last week. Sometime you will find then on the ground .. but they are in trees most often. This one was casually strolling around at the base of this tree .. I could almost hear him saying, “Nothing to see here. Move along”.

This was not an easy photo. Too much extra stuff for the camera to get a good focus. I still love a cardinal photo.

In case you forget, this is a female Downy Woodpecker. The key is the red markings on the head of the male. The second photo is a male.

Inverted Feeding

I caught this nuthatch grabbing a quick snack. I am amazed at how they climb. I mean I find them upside down on tree limbs most of the time. This is a fun photo!
