Finally got a decent pic of American Kestrel

Liam's Quiz inspired me to look through some of my old photos and found this one of a Dusky-capped Flycatcher that I never uploaded.

I've taken much better pictures, but this enlarged iPhone pic of a parking lot Cattle Egret does qualify as my best photo of the day:

Looks like a paparazzi shot! ?

Because I never tire of TOWAs.

Just incredible! I only have one good photo of a TOWA, but it’s not as good as yours.

African Jacana.  This bird's feet are so large it can walk on top of water plants.  Lake Panic, Kruger National Park, South Africa.

Banded (metal band) Caspian Tern.  If only I could read the numbers!

My second Cattle Egret in a row submission in this thread.  I know birds are smart, but I've never seen one walking up a curb before. ?

Also, I may have mentioned this before, but I don't remember.  In the wild, the Cattle Egrets I see are almost always in flocks, but in residential areas, I see solitary ones all of the time:  As a matter of fact, I don't remember the last time I saw a flock of them in a residential area.

Bumping my post with a question:  How do I get these macaulaylibrary pics to embed like everybody else here does?

[dragon49]

Think I figured it out:

This is how some others have been embedding their images from ebird.

Ty - a Google search led me to the same thing.

A photo from yesterday, but I only just got to cleaning it up today - Dark-eyed Junco posing nicely in my yard. :)
