Probably my best non-mallard duck photo.

Le Conte's Thrasher in the Mojave Desert. One of the fastest birds out here, hard to get them sitting still.

Two in the snow yesterday (first day back for the Night Heron).

I usually don't take photos of birds in flight, but I decided to try it out today. I was on a bridge and this time of year Eagles and Ospreys will be flying down the river. I caught this eagle and I'm very happy with this shot.

Not my best, but it is my favorite.

Yesterday's

Piping Plover today. I saw this bird about fifteen years ago when it first showed up locally and caused quite a stir at the time. Despite being one of the most popular beaches north of Toronto the local municipality continues to protect the nesting site annually. I recently realized it is not on my list so went to find it again this morning. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/332413431

I never realized the red on the Sandhill Crane's head is in the shape of a "heart".

Oh, my goodness! ❤️

Another one that I don't have any good shots of...not that I can find anyway. They are always so far away, but I did take a shot of one bathing, a few years ago, because I thought it was cute 🙂 I am always entertained when I see ducks bathing 🤣

Not an easy bird to get a good photo of!! I only have a couple of shots, and neither is really good 🤣
