Thanks! Figured it was not much special, but wanted a second/third/fourth opinion 🙂

Friend send me this asking what it was... I'm not sure; just a Great Blue? Seen today in San Fransisco.

Thanks! This was the first time for me seeing these two species! Unfortunately for me they were the non-colorful ones... 😒

Both seen yesterday afternoon in Rochester, MN.

I do not want to start thinking about autumn and winter, but if I look at the colour of these leaves it is coming soon 😐 https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/366126031

This bird is absolutely amazing! I rarely see it, but when I do I am always amazed by how big it is, yet how it still flies elegantly through the trees https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/365612401

I'm actually starting to like the first picture the way it is looking around for some food. I'm also amazed that the second one is (relatively) sharp with a shutter speed of only 1/15th! (the camera wanted to have an ISO of 100..) https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/365049431 https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/365049471

Sniped me before I could add the location 🙂

Flycatchers are still tricky for me, I'm suspecting Least. Seen this morning in Rochester, MN

Haha, sorry! I was very lucky on a weekend trip!! 😄

I only ever saw the one Great Grey Owl...

Nice! This is indeed kinda cool! I unfortunately missed this one to see it live..

Yesterday morning I got some pretty decent shots including this (young?) common yellowthroat. Love the colors of the moss/lichen matching the bird https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/364278871 https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/364042771

Thanks! Those pesky youngsters always get me!

Not sure which one though... Seen yesterday later in the day in Rochester, MN. Habitat, near a marsh
