A Gnat Lunch?

We have fequently photographed flycatchers on our many hikes but this week I was surprised to see this Blue-gray Gnatcatcher. Making meals from flies seems like an interesting challenge, but now we are talking gnats? Cool bird.

Swallow Feeding Frenzy

I believe this is a Northern Rough-winged Swallow. I love how the swallows go crazy when they are eating their dinner. They fly around so fast. I swear sometimes they come within inches of my head.

Cool Haircut

I find Field Sparrows to be so cute. They sing beautiful music too. This little sparrow would not fly away. Instead, she whould fly 10 feet or so, then watch us, and repeat that process. What a fun hike.

Red Head

It has been a while since either of us has photographed a Red-headed Woodpecker. We were hiking near the west Marinas at Grand Lake St. Marys when we spotted this red head (for you John). Such a beautiful bird.

A Little Sunshine

I photographed these two American Goldfinch on two different days, in two different locations. I share them both to make a point about sunlight. A very small difference in lighting and saddows makes a big difference in the photo. I did some edits, but they are still very different. There was more sun in the 1st photo.
