Didn’t Expect This One

This was a surprise. I took the photo on a hike, but didn't recognize it as a Golden-crowned Kinglet. I have seen them in warmer weather, but today is cold.

Where’s The Food

I saw this Red-bellied Woodpecker in the tree. It was clear he was about to take off. It quickly moved to the feeder. Same bird, but looks so different.

Loud & Beautiful

I could hear them while hiking, but could not tell how many there were or locate any of them. I guess I could say this on many hikes, but the Blue Jays were so loud and active.

After looking for what seemed like an eternity, I saw this one. I love the colors. So beautiful .. and yes, so loud.

Entertain Us, Please

What a beautiful photo. There is so much more to this than just what you see.

We were hiking at Stillwater Prairie Reserve near one of the ponds when we saw this pair of geese approaching. Their landing on water is always so beautiful. Teresa captured the couple in her photo below.

They stayed while we photograpned other birds. A few more geese arrived.

When we drove off, they all flew away. Kind of cute, but I guess they were just there to check us out.

She’s Special

This is the best photo I have ever taken of a female Eastern Bluebird. We do not see many, and even less females.
