Birding

Sure looks like it! I love Sandhill Cranes. Such cool birds. I feel lucky to live somewhere they are common.

I’ve never seen one! Very cool!

Looks like it! I saw flocks migrating some months back, it was amazing.

Yes I see them in central Florida in January, so I was pretty sure of my ID. But confused.

With it being in the wrong location Merlin app wasn’t able to ID it, despite what I think was a pretty clear photo.

I’ve never seen the migration. That must really be something!

Ah add Purple Martin to my list from last week!

Wow!!! What excellent photos! As a nature journaler who’s tried bird photography, let me just say how much I appreciate the effort that went into taking them! Thank-you for posting them!

Adding this one. Looking at you, looking at me!

Gorgeous shot!

First hummingbird photos with the new camera. Hopefully lots more opportunities to come.

[turtlegirl]

Wow!

[neovonretorch]

May or may not be the same bird in the first photo and the other two. Were at least two red-shouldered hawks out and about, making lots of noise. Saw the one from my office, while on a call, and took a hurried photo through the window. Then kept hearing them flying and calling out, so I went out and got this one mid-flight.

Watching the wood ducks grow has been enjoyable. Really cool colors showing on the green heron!
