This past Thursday I had an opportunity to catch up with a friend while birding around the Bolivar Peninsula and during our travels we kept hearing the familiar wichity-wichity-wichity calls of the Common Yellowthroat. Eventually we came across this guy who just seemed to want to have his photo taken. Spring is definitely in the air.

Common only because they are commonly seen. The Bronzewing has very striking markings. We saw many in the Healesville Sanctuary.
Happy Wing Wednesday!

Although this wasn't a life bird for me it still presented me with an irresistible photography opportunity that I couldn't pass up. This was the first time that I'd ever seen one of these unique birds perched before. I photographed this bird on a fencepost in Pawnee National Grassland in Colorado. They have no trees to perch in there so they have to settle for fence posts instead.
279) Common Moorhen
Common Moorhen, Swamp Chicken, Gallinula chloropus, Tiong Air
The common moorhen lives around well-vegetated marshes, ponds, canals and other wetlands. They gives a wide range of gargling calls and will emit loud hisses when threatened. This species will consume a wide variety of vegetable material and small aquatic creatures. They forage beside or in the water, sometimes walking on lilypads or upending in the water to feed. They are often secretive, but can become tame in some areas. Despite loss of habitat in parts of its range, the common moorhen remains plentiful and widespread.

This is an irruption winter for Common Redpolls in our area. It's great to see them after an absence of several years. This one is gritting along the side of the road.

This Common Gallinule was seen, along with its relative in the Rails family the Andean Coot (see this photo www.flickr.com/photos/luminouscompositions/52499772656/in... ), at the Pantanos de Villa wetlands in Lima, Peru, South America. I enjoyed a visit to that protected area in the large city with guide Juan Julca, during which we went on a short outing in a small electric boat — moving slowly and quietly, not even disturbing the reflection in this image.

(Geothlypis trichas) -- Common Yellowthroat
A broad black mask lends a touch of highwayman’s mystique to the male Common Yellowthroat. Look for these furtive, yellow-and-olive warblers skulking through tangled vegetation, often at the edges of marshes and wetlands. Females lack the mask and are much browner, though they usually show a hint of warm yellow at the throat. Yellowthroats are vocal birds, and both their witchety-witchety-witchety songs and distinctive call notes help reveal the presence of this, one of our most numerous warblers.

Not so common for me...first time I have seen one...grab shot as he didn't stop for long and would not open his wings...taken in evening heat haze at Kinneil lagoon...camera settings were for B.I F!
This Common Yellowthroat popped up unexpectedly during our brief visit to Ohio last month. As we were walking through the park he popped up on a locust tree and gave us a brief look. I wonder if he may have been a migrant as I usually see Common Yellowthroats around water but as far as I could tell there was none around when this one showed up.
