Sing It Loud

This is a Carolina Wren. He was jumping from branch to branch, making this a difficult shot. Beautiful bird with a beautiful song.

A little more about this cool bird:

There are seven recognized subspecies across the range of these wrens and they differ slightly in song and appearance. The birds are generally inconspicuous, avoiding the open for extended periods of time. When out in the open, they investigate their surroundings and are rarely stationary. After finding a mate, pairs maintain a territory and stay together for several years. Both sexes give out alarm calls, but only males sing to advertise territory. Carolina wrens raise multiple broods during the summer breeding season ... (Wikipedia)

No Words

Sunday

I shot this photo while hiking the bike trail in Piqua. It was a beautiful day, and this view was great. I told Teresa I had to capture and share this view.

Enjoy your day.

Three Turtles Tanning

We took a walk on Mother’s Day and saw these three turtles. It is not uncommon to see turtles getting some sun but this day was partly cloudy and I was surprised to see them.

Teresa saw them first and then we both shot a few photos. This is a combination of her photos and mine.

My Best Side?

I have been trying to get a good capture of a blue jay for weeks. Every time I snap a shot, the Jay is facing away from me. The shot was better, but as soon as I lift the camera, they move so that they are butt toward me. What’s the deal?

Here are a few shots from the past few weeks above. I will keep trying.
