Red Tailed on a Grey Day
A Red tailed Hawk surveying the fields for prey on an overcast spring morning. Gotta be plenty of mice out there, somewhere. Out in the fields near Laramie, Wy.
Spring Chickadee
With the trees budding out and the air warming up a little Chickadee enjoy their perch on a Saturday afternoon.
Silhouetted
A Young Bald Eagle chirping away is silhouetted against the grey sky of an overcast day along the snake river in Grand Teton National Park. Happy Friday.
Good Night Heron
Flying off into the sunset we say good night to a Black Crowned Night Heron. Not a bad way to end the day. Photographed with an older, forgotten and long gone, point and shoot camera on an evening walk in Ferndale CA. a few years back.
Willet
A willet enjoys the temporary ponds and the meals within created by spring rain along the front range while migrating to a more suitable habitat along further north.
Wood Thrush
For me the Wood Thrush is a bird I may often hear but seldom seem. Hanging out in those forests deep with green and hidden out of sight they have such a wonderful song. After listening to his song for several minutes this Wood Thrush flew out and landed on a post in a clearing for a minute or two before retuning back into the woods. Love the pudgy belly on this one.
Warm Welcome
A male house finch enjoying the ever earlier sunrise as spring marches onward. With rare exception early April seems to mark the time of year we begin to see and hear the finches in our neighborhood each year and as the sun rises earlier everyday they provide a warm welcome to those still crisp but beautiful spring mornings.
Common Yellowthroat
A common Yellowthroat hiding in the reeds. This guys was darting around from cattail to cattail for what seemed like eternity but finally held still for just a moment to allow us to take his portrait and get a good look. It is always tons of fun to be able to observe an bird not familiar to you. A little surprise that makes the day distinct.
Easter Basket
Looking up into bright blue skies to see a wonderful old Oriole nest greeting the fresh new leaves is a wonderful way to welcome in spring. Young and old shake hands and the dance continues on. Enjoy your day.
