Snowy Egret at Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge, SC 3/14/20

A local wetland has a low number of waterfowl this year but a good variety. This Northern Pintail flew in unexpectedly while I was photographing some Bufflehead.

This photo isn't as sharp as I would have liked, but I decided to post it. I normally see Cape May Warblers maybe 5-6 times a year and feel fortunate to ever get a photo of one. It was a bit unusual to see one this early in the year in this area (Chapel Hill, NC) and this was a long range shot which I cropped more than normal for me. Even though it isn't a real sharp photo, I was happy to get it. Cape May Warbler by Mark Goodwin, on Flickr

I took a crack at brightening the picture. Doesn't really look like an American Robin to me... but I'll defer to the experts.

Mourning Dove, Today...

That is actually a Tennessee Warbler. Note the lack of wingbars, the gray head with dark eyeline and white supercilium, the white underside, and the green back.

Here's a photo of me when I was 1 year old. Taken in 1947. Is this old enough???? 😁 Wayne J Smith at one year old_edited by Wayne J Smith, on Flickr

I photographed this little bird last week at the Sacramento wildlife refuge mid morning. I labeled him as a tree swallow a friend thinks he’s a purple Martin. Please confirm 🤠 thank you

Loggerhead shrike

Despite the sheets of rain that fell almost all day, I got some photos of a some birds that swamped my feeder during a short break in the rain.

Ross's goose!

Somebody should make a bird guide of nothing but birds flying away from me -- that's the angle I get most often.

Nobody should be posting or using photographs or images that they don't either own or have premission from the owner to use.

I seriously suspect it's pulled from the middle of the word 'profile' because without it, the less mature users on the Interwebs would constantly be telling us 'I changed my pp' and giggling in the basement. As one of those less mature minds, it's the first thing I thought of.

Wait for it.....
