American Goldfinch In Early Fall Colors
Another installment in my intermittent series on the ‘common’ species. They don’t come much more common than a goldfinch on thistle.
Swainson’s Hawks – A Food Exchange That Didn’t Go As Planned
But you certainly have to give them credit for their creative approach to the transfer.
Song Sparrow In A River Hawthorn Amongst The Berries
Song Sparrows don’t generate a lot of excitement but I think this is an unusually handsome specimen in a pretty setting.
Least Chipmunk Being Cuter Than Usual
This is the first time I’ve ever found two separate optical illusions in the same photo.
A Sage Thrasher Photo That Looks Like A ‘Setup’ (but it isn’t of course)
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher In A Fragrant Sumac Bush
Blue-gray Gnatcatchers are tiny and hyperactive. This one from yesterday morning was one of the most difficult photo subjects I’ve ever tried to draw a bead on.
Immature Western Tanager After A Dainty Bath
Gray Catbird Out In The Open, At Least For A Catbird
The numerous catbirds at this location in the mountains have been nearly impossible for me to photograph but three days ago this one let its guard down momentarily and gave me an almost literal ‘window’ of opportunity.
Nashville Warbler Versus MacGillivray’s Warbler
MacGillivray’s Warbler – Big Stretch For Aphids
Great Horned Owl In The Marsh
I rarely see Great Horned Owls in wetland habitats so finding this bird was a real treat.
