One Of A Flock

We were recently greated by a flock (I guess its called a flock) of Common Grackles passing thorugh the wooded area where we were hiking. This one stoppedd in the shadows for this amazing photo opportunity. Check out those eyes. I really love this photo.

Where Is That Cat?

Since the last time I posted a photo of a Gray Catbird, I have seen a few more of them.

I love it when we am walking on a trail or through the woods and hear a cat, only to realize its actaully a gray catbird. Its kind of funny.

This is the best photo we have been able to capture of a gray catbird this year. I'll keep trying to do better. Getting a perfect photo drives us to keep taking pictures. Nature is funny sometimes. Some days we hear and even see dozens of birds but only get a couple photos, then other days we will capture so many beautiful pictures. You never know.

Hide And Seek

On two seperate occasions this week Teresa saw the bright color of a Baltimore Oriole hidden in the trees but so obsucre that we almost missed them. They are both males, and in both photos a significant portion of the bird is hidden from view. I still love the photos.

A Little Blue

The Spring Azure is a very small, blue butterfly. I have heard them called an Echo Blue, Hill Hedge Blue, and maybe other names. The day I saw this one, I saw a couple more. This one was willing to park long enough for me to photograph.

Just Climbing This Tree

I enjoyed watching this Downy Woodpecker. She started jumping between branches making a photo nearly impossible. She finally landed on this branch. I shot this photo as she was hiking up the tree.
