So as some of you know, I've been sick as of late (some details here for anyone interested). It's slowed me down a bit, but it's also pushed me to experiment and focus more on birds and bugs not far from home. Most of these photos were taken in my yard, and all within a few miles. As usual, clicking on them leads to larger versions with more details (shutter speed, ISO, etc.).
Great Blue Heron:
Yellow Warbler, spotted from my porch:
Eastern Kingbird. I have better photos with more detail of the kingbird itself than this, but I love the composition and overall scene of this shot.
Dragonflies:
Baby Downy Woodpecker, doing funny wing things I'd never seen one do before:
Juvenile Green Heron-- I almost missed this bird. It was very well concealed and I just found it by accident. Again, I have much clearer and crisper photos of green herons, but I've never captured one hiding in a tree before, so that's kind of cool:
9:27 AM PT: Wow. This got reposted to a lot of groups, though I'm not sure I understand why :)
