Moonset

The weather has been beautiful and we have been able to take photo hikes almost daily. Some days we do not see any wildlife. Then you have days like this one last week where we saw several beautiful birds, turtles and other cool creatures.

This day was extra cool because as we approached this fishing pond, we saw this amazing moonset. It was a beautiful sight. If you know me well, you know that after birds and landscapes, taking photos of the moon is one of my favorite photographs. Well, this photo is a combination of the two. The moon was in this exact position, but to get the size, I did some photo-magic. Enjoy.

The ‘Other’ Red Bird

Teresa captured these photos of a Scarlet Tanager during a hike this week. We both managed to get a few photos, but I think her pictures were much better. This is a male. The non-breeding males are more olive in color. The females are that same olive color, almost yellow.

Home Sweet Home

Home sweet home ... Teresa shot this photo of this robin nesting last week. It’s not often that we find one in the nest.

Bug Eyes

This is a Widow Skimmer and he has buggy eyes. They are predators .. and the best part, one of their favorite meals is mosquito. I hope they eat all of them.

Last year, after changing my diet to be ketogenic, I did not have as much problems with those blood sucking creatures. I don’t really think there is any connection between that way of eating and mosquito bites, but I will take it.

So far this year I have seen a few, swatting them while in the act of taking a shot at my veins. I’m not a fan.

Let’s Chat

This is a Yellow-breasted Chat. I have photographed a Chat in the past, but this one decided to play games. He was singing from his hiding place in the trees when we came along. I would whistle back; he would respond. Finally, he came out to see who he was chatting with, and I took this photo. Fun.
