A Wilson's Snipe probing for food. Those water ripples are mesmerizing... I'd fall asleep before I found anything to eat!

Almost missed this Mottled Duck because there were so many other ducks around. I don't see this species often.

This Chipping Sparrow found itself a Dandelion clock and ate the entire thing, one seed at a time. Better than a bird feeder meal, I'm sure! Loved watching it :)

Another bird I've never seen! From pictures, I love the look of the chicks in particular. So pretty!

Yes, these five were part of a larger flock that had made a stop at a lake.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #FourOrMore, so here's five American White Pelicans in flight. BIF is not my forte, but now and then I manage a decent picture.

A leucistic Yellow-rumped Warbler had been spotted at a local park. I searched for it every time I went there the last few weeks, and today I finally saw it! Here's a picture, to the right of a normal YR Warbler I also photographed this week.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #PrimaryColours. I'll pick yellow and give you this lovely Pine Warbler.

That's true. We all get different birds depending on where we are. It's nice to travel and see more!

I bet it didn't see this coming! It's the food chain though.

Nice shot! Didn't see as many of these birds as I normally see around this time or year. Everything changing....

The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BestOfTheMonth, bird captures you like best from February. Here's an Eastern Phoebe from a couple of days ago. Signs of Spring are all around, and this little bird will soon begin its journey back to breeding grounds north of here.
