More Gold

I really enjoy taking photographs of Goldfinch. Now that they are around the area, I am seeing them almost daily. This one was especially beautiful and seemed to pose for this photo.

A day later, we were in the same area and the goldfinch were there in very large numbers. I tried to count them, but I know there was at least 40 to 50. It was crazy. I had the wrong lens to capture a view of the scene, but I did manage this shot of a few of them.

Moo Bird

This is a male cowbird. Recall that I posted a female a few days ago.

The head on the male is normally a brown, but in this lighting it looks black.

I really like this photo. He looks so mysterious.

Lazy River: A Spring Day

Photos like this never get old. This is another shot of the Stillwater River that I captured just north of Covington, Ohio.

The river winds though the country side here. At spots if flows more rapidly, then it slows as it gets wider and deeper.

I took this photo from a bridge over the river. Looks like a perfect day to canoe or raft down the river:).

‘Breathtaking’ Cardinal

We continue to see a large number of cardinals. The top photo is a male that I photographed as we had just started a hike along the Stillwater River. The second photo is a female that Teresa photographed. She was hanging out near the location of the first photo. Perhaps they are a couple. I lost count of how many we saw. We didn’t get a lot of photos, but it was a beatiful day.

When I shared the top photo with a friend, he commend that it was ‘breathtaking’. I agree. So beautiful.

Needed: A Haircut

I guess even this Green Heron needs a hair cut but can’t get one during the lockdown.

Teresa took this photo this past week. It has been a while since we saw one of these. He was diving in the water .. a behavior that I have not seen before. Now to get him a trim.
