It’s always nice to get a good look at a Brewers Blackbird either through the binoculars or the camera lens. They are anything but black and the button eye always brings a grin to my face. In fact all the black birds we have in our area are a joy to observe and anything but ordinary when you get a good peek at them. Go….blackbirds!
A male Ring-necked Pheasant looking into the warming ray of the morning sun. We have one of these guys (but not this one) hanging around the neighborhood and crowing away the last few mornings in hopes of attracting a few ladies. Both seeing and hearing him has been a nice way for us to start the day.
Hello sunshine.
A red-naped sapsucker enjoying the morning on a beautiful lichen covered branch. It was the first time we had seen this guy this spring and hope hangs around a bit.
It’s always nice to see love is in the air. A red Headed Duck pairs perusing the cattails on a nice spring morning. Perhaps looking for just the right nesting spot or just taking a morning stroll.
The looks says it all. This Jay had his back to me so I was trying to sneak up on him and focus on his very colorful tail feathers. Needless to say he was on to me.

Early one morning we spotted these White Faced Ibis resting on a local lake. Not a common sight around here and within a half hours after taking this photo they flew off. I have yet to see them on this lake again.

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.
