Free dive...one of my favorite things about this Great Blue Heron series, beyond the dive itself, is all the feather down flying off of him.

I was just finishing up my photography hike when I spotted a beautiful Gray Catbird just inside a tree line filled with dense brush. He took off as soon as I raised my camera, headed deeper into the brush and back in the general direction I had just come from. I retraced my steps, slowly stalking him when he took off again, this time landing on this thin stump in plain sight and staying just long enough for me to capture a few shots of him!

I've been working back through shots from last fall and I found this little treasure...a Northern Parula. I wish she had come down out of the upper portion of the tree, but nature is not always obliging. Isn/t she pretty?

A lovely male Summer Tanager. These beauties usually stay pretty high up in the trees, but sometimes they come down to eye level. Last week this male stayed at eye level for about 5 minutes while I photographed him.

Throwback to Fall Migration 2025. This lovely Magnolia Warbler put on quite the show on a short stop as he was headed south for the winter. I love the subtle yellow on her back.

I had no idea what I had in this shot until I post-processed it on my computer. To see that thick spider web and realize this Blue-headed Vireo was swinging from it before taking off...what an awesome surprise! Best viewed large screen.

I've been watching a Northern Flicker nest the past couple of weeks. I captured the male dropping down to the opening of the nest after perching on top of the dead tree (visible in photo 2) that shelters his little brood. This particular subspecies is the Yellow-shafted Northern Flicker. I love the yellow!
