One of the beautiful aquatic flowers on the lake at Stoevers Dam Park, Lebanon, Pennsylvania. Took some other photos the same day, see collage below.
Common, and widepread, American Robins are always a welcome sight in Spring. Although some robins remain to struggle through the cold winter months, most robins migrate southward for the winter.
They are common backyard birds that will sing sweetly all through the early morning. This male robin was seen in a low, swampy area of Lake St Clair Metropark, a typical place to find winter non-migrating robins.

I have seen these birds many times but usually flying in groups over the marsh, but today one landed close and I was able to get some images.

The most noticeable characteristics of the American red squirrel are the tail and the eye ring. The tree squirrel's tail is bushy and dark red with hints of a white outline. The eye ring is a thick, white circle around the rodent's black eyes. American red squirrels are about 12 inches and have grayish, red, or rust-colored fur with a white belly. Sometimes a black stripe can be seen on the sides.

American Oystercatchers are the only birds in their environment with the ability to open large molluscs such as clams and oysters (except for large gulls that drop clams onto pavement). Foraging oystercatchers often attract other birds eager to share (or steal from) the oystercatcher’s “raw bar,” including Willets, large gulls, and Ruddy Turnstones.
Nesting adults will add broken shells or pebbles to the nests in order to disguise the speckled eggs.
When I come back from my photography tours, usually, I prefer to show as first the ones I think are the best. But when I get some spare time, I go back to my old shots and I try to review them with more calm. Here are some of those of the American Land. The red canyons and sands and rocks which form the legendary South West.
Photographed in my backyard, Yakima County, Washington. I have seen a significant increase in the number of American Goldfinches recently.
American White Pelicans are gregarious birds, often associated with Double-crested Cormorants. Few can fail to be impressed by the sight of this spectacular species, one of the largest boreal birds, soaring overhead or feeding in synchronized groups. A flock of migrating American White Pelicans is a majestic sight-a long line of ponderous birds, flapping and coasting. Each bird seems to take its cue from the one in front of it, beginning to flap and starting a glide when its predecessor does. These birds ride rising air currents to great heights, where they soar slowly and gracefully in circles. These birds are more buoyant than Brown Pelicans and do not dive for their food. They cooperate to surround fish in shallow water, scooping them into their pouches. They take in both water and fish, and then hold their bills vertically to drain out the water before swallowing the food. This species is something of a conservation success story, with major population declines and range contractions before 1980 largely reversed.

Young nestlings can run within 24 hours of birth but their beaks are not strong enough to open bivalve shells until they are about 2 months old.
If you look closely in the frogs eye, you can see the silhouettes of my friends Karen and Steve, as well as myself. Wildwood Park, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
