Red-eyed Vireo

 One from May of this year. I haven't seen or heard many since that time which is odd given how ubiquitous and vocal they can be.

 

Ring-necked Duck at Sunset

 From earlier this year in the Spring.

The Sun and the Moon 2

 This time the sun gets the spotlight, pardon the pun. I've been trying to get a shot like this for awhile. This evening the conditions were right and I had a cooperative bird. Not only did it give me a profile it decided to sing (or chirp) as well. In case you're wondering it is a male Common Yellowthroat.

Sun and the Moon

 In this case it's the moon, a later post will feature that other celestial body.  I think the bird species is obvious but for those who can't identify the bird it is a Cedar Waxwing. You might recognize the tree in one of the photos from the earlier kingbird post. The waxwing is sitting in the exact same spot.

More Ducks - Juvenile Male Hooded Merganser

 More images from this past Winter.

Red-winged Blackbird - Male

 I've already featured the female in another post. Time to feature the male, one of several pairs that are nesting in my area. There will be more pictures of this species in subsequent posts.

Eastern Kingbird

 There had been one or more kingbirds hanging around the local pond for the last month or so. This bird was acting like it was defending it's territory so hopefully they were nesting in the area although I haven't seen it for a week or more.

More Ducks - Wood Duck Drake

 I'm not sure if this is the same bird in all three images, these were all taken the same day at the same location but at two different times, a few hours apart. My guess is it's the same bird although there were at least 2 drakes in the area at the time.

One of My Favorites - Ring-necked Duck

One of my favorite shots from my Spring sessions of photographing Ring-necked Ducks.

Ducks and More Ducks - Common Goldeneye

 Another species I don't get to photograph that often pretty much for the same reason as the birds in the last post. This was the only individual that ventured within range of my camera this past Winter so I feel fortunate to have these images.
