This green heron was so obliging even despite some harassment from a juvenile nearby. Stalking fish requires some intense concentration. This moment looks to be right before a strike. #greenheron #wadingbirds #birds #womenwhobird #womenphotographers πŸͺΆ

It's not everyday that you get to see a barred owl family, especially one with five fledglings. This is a Frick Park experience that I will never forget. #frickpark #birds #barredowl #fledglings #womenphotographers

My lifer black tern photographed in Imperial, Pennsylvania. What a beauty!!! The contrast from the head to tail and very dark face make this a tricky subject to photograph. Thankfully it posed in the cut grass for a bit! #birds #springmigration2025 #blacktern #womenphotographers

Doesn't look like enough yellow on the breast for a magnolia, but sometimes the color is washed out in the shade of the leaves.

Sharp looking bird! The cedar waxwing's tail color can change a bit depending on their diet from yellow to orange. πŸͺΆ #springmigration2025 #cedarwaxwing #womenphotographers

Male scarlet tanagers are so red they will mess with your camera, but working on getting the right exposure is well worth the effort! πŸͺΆ #scarlettanager #springmigration2025 #womenphotographers

Surprise!!! Connecticut warblers do come out for some sunshine once in a while, if you're patient enough. #birds #Connecticutwarbler #springmigration2025 #womenphotographers

This looks better for a bullock's oriole not a Baltimore. Makes better sense for California as well.

The warbling vireo with its sweet face and sweet song are always a pleasure to encounter when spring and summer roll around. #warblingvireo #birds #springmigration2025 #womenphotographers
