Black-capped Chickadee

I don't have a picture of a black-capped on the blog yet so I guess it's time to add one. Not a lot of birds in the woods these days, this one was on the walking trail in Jordan Falls. The blue in the background is the river. November 24.

Horned Lark

I stopped at Chebogue Point on the way back from Yarmouth. The most interesting find was a Rough-legged Hawk hunting in the fields with at least three Northern Harriers. There were many Snow Buntings, Pipits as well as Horned Larks, the first for me this year. Nov. 14th

Snow Bunting Portrait

The Snow Buntings have arrived in numbers. I had lots of opportunities for shots, several at close range like this one.

White-rumped Sandpiper

This one was flying solo on this day and was particularly approachable.  November 4, East Ragged Island.

Ruddy Turnstone with crab

There are still a few shorebirds in the area. I managed to find several turnstones on this day, this one found a treat amongst the seaweed.

Snow Bunting

First Snow Bunting of the year. Well maybe the 2nd, a pair of birds flew off just before I saw this one. At least one was a Snow Bunting. Oct. 26, East Ragged Island.

Peregrine Falcon

These were taken October 18th in Little Port Le'hebert. The bottom image was the sharper of two similar shots, unfortunately I clipped the top wing on the bird in the foreground. These are both juveniles.
