Catbird in the open doesn’t happen very often, so I risked the ticks to get eyelevel with this guy. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/449695811

A Black-crowned Night Heron in Gilbert, AZ a few weeks ago. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/451189611

Probably one of my better Cape May Warbler shots a couple of days ago but no ratings. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/450015291

Just a wood duck portrait in good light. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/449836481

Plenty of parking still available!

There is no way I pull this shot off with my old outfit. I may use this photo to run through some more advanced tutorial processing workflow.

And why would you waste time photographing one (unless you were someplace unfamiliar like Manomet Pt., MA, and you couldn't immediately ID it and wondered if it was smore uncommon )?

Probably the clearest shot I've ever gotten of one of these...

Got a new camera and moved to a new apartment in the last week, so I've been using any opportunity I can to take pics. Just a House Finch today, but I still like the way this one came out. :) https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/452231731

Man, I really can't believe this is my best photo.

Probably my best ever photo of a Ruby-throated. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/450761071

I'm going with my lifer, Gray Kingbird: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/452385281

I didn't think I was even going to have a picture of one, but I dug one up from my inventory pics. No other reason to take a pic of one. Funny story... Before I started birding, I took pics of birds every once in a while, when they caught my attention. When I was in Scotland, I took one picture of a bird, and guess what it was? A House Sparrow, of course, on top of the house I was staying at It's so blurry, it's not worth sharing, but at least it was where it was supposed to be...across the pond and on the house

Yesterday we had high winds in Arizona and this juvenile Great-Horned Owl was out of the nest sitting on a branch taking in the wind.

Only one I've ever seen that I know of. It showed up in my yard a few years back and hung around long enough for me to get a couple of photos.

Can’t believe I didn’t a good photo of these. That being said, I’ve never actually photographed them.

Could have been better if lighting conditions were better, but I finally got a pic of a Dickcissel. Feels like a pretty overdue photo-lifer. :) https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/450174711

Black-bellied Whistling Duck. I know I got better photos on the trip, the problem is I don't have access to them right now and probably won't for another two months. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/450804301

Seaside Sparrow

Not a five star but I like how it turned out. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/450494271

I guess I'll go with this one.

This is the only photo of a House Sparrow(s) that I have in my files. And I really don't know why it was still there!

What could possibly go wrong.
