On the Road to Everglades National Park, FL
As I mentioned yesterday we left early Sunday morning for a sunrise shoot at my favorite place in the Everglades and then went in search of the Vermilion Flycatcher. Ivan and Rob found him on Tuesday and Ivan told me that he was very cooperative. Well not really, at least not on Sunday.
But we did get him briefly in a tree rather than on the barbed wire fence, which he seemed to prefer (below).
The Vermilion Flycatcher (Pyrocephalus rubinus) is a spectacular and distinctive flycatcher. It inhabits riparian areas and scrub in the southwestern United States and southward. It perches conspicuously, making periodic flights to nab insect prey.
The species grows to about seven inches in length, and is strongly dimorphic; males are bright red pr red-orange, with dark brown plumage. Females have a peach-colored belly with a dark grey upper side.
It's migration time again. You'll be driving along watching out for the usual wildlife and then you'll see this huge spider crossing the road. They're so big they're unmistakable, even from the car. Oh, no, something else to watch out for...
They're everywhere - this one was in Cañada Ancha Wash near Buckman.

Another new bird for me...
Happy Feathery Friday!

A first year Townsend's Warbler makes a rare appearance in my backyard this morning. Not usually a bird of Saskatchewan.
Fall migration is my favourite time of year ( other than the Christmas bird counts ) Much like then, you never know WHAT might show up!
As I was leaving, I saw three Broad-winged hawks flying around. I was still in the trees, so I did get many shots, and no good ones. It was fun to see.
Backyard visitor. Today we had at least 6 different species of warblers, and multiples of each, in the backyard, a sight we had not seen here before. Perhaps the cooler night temperature moved them in. Whatever the reason, they were all enjoying the insects on the birch tree, and of course we were enjoying watching them.

7D | EF 300/2.8L + 2x | 1/1000 sec., f/7.1, ISO 640, Handheld, 3 frames merged together
The above photo shows the number of shorebirds that were hanging around the shoreline of an undisturbed area of the park. With only one supertele, I had to stitched three frames together (while keeping the same DOF), and my only regret with this photo is that I should have taken a fourth or more frame(s) to include a bit of land on the right. This image is just an intro to my upcoming shorebirds photos. Enjoy!
