Northern Goshawks!!! (I guess it's technically American Goshawk now)

Let’s keep calling it Northern Goshawk to avoid offending the Canadians. There’s already so many “American” birds…

A Goose, a Jay, and a Warbler vs an Avocet, a Coot, a Crow, a Pelican, a Redstart, a Wigeon, a Robin, a Goldfinch, a Black Duck, a Dipper, a Kestrel, an Oystercatcher, etc… and now a Goshawk

The heck with them.  They keep renaming their jay, and they can't keep their geese under control.

The female painted bunting is not as colorful as her mate, but still is a very pretty bird  I like the feather detail in these pics of her.

Nice shots! @TexasCobrathese are good examples of a female painted bunting for you, since you were wondering.,

Many thanks for your fine examples FlowerShooter.

It would have been nice if he turned his head toward the camera a little more, but I'm still happy with it.

Rutherford County bird #200! A Limpkin found last week at the local wetlands that has likely been hiding out in the closed off areas since wandered back into view this morning! https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/603675981

Nothing great today.  I'll go with this Boat-tailed Grackle:

I dream of getting a shot like that!  I could crop mine all day and still never fill the frame!
