A flash of gold in steel-gray water.
This Common Goldeneye was photographed in Oswego, NY. Diving ducks like this can hunt completely underwater.

How wild is that?

This is a Long-tailed Duck (Clangula hyemalis) spotted near Lake Ontario. I think this Duck is one of the most striking winter waterfowl species in North America 🀍🀍🀍 That plumage and pink-tipped bill never get old.

Not the best photos, but a wonderful experience. I almost missed her perched behind a small snowbank.

Snowy Owls are one of my favorite birds. It was a pleasure to see this gal.

I took advantage of the clear sky a few days ago - haven’t been able to see much with all of the snow and cloud coverage lately πŸŒ™

I love it! Sony has some wonderful lenses. This one was definitely worth the upgrade. A prime would be fantastic, but you’re absolutely right about needing a wealthy uncle to pass away. Haha, by the way, I love your photos.

I absolutely adore Cedar Waxwings, they are so much fun to watch bouncing from tree to tree.

Caught this little one while walking along the Erie Canal in Oneida County ❀️

This was an awesome experience! I had the opportunity to bird with an amazing individual in the Saratoga area, he brought me right to this little Clay-colored Sparrow. This tiny bird is not at all common in our area πŸ₯° #bird #birds #ibirdny #πŸͺΆ

A cheery little Savannah Sparrow found and Pitney Farms in Saratoga. This pleasant little fellow seemed quite inquisitive as he watched my family from the tall grass. #bird #birds #ibirdny #thisisupstate
