A female Northern Harrier hunting the Dikes at Steigerwald Lake NWR! She was very concerned about a Bald Eagle flyover, as you can see her eyes looking up above when the Eagle flew over!!
The females are easily recognisable because the lower mandible is orange. Both the upper and lower parts of the beak are black in the males.
Perhaps she should be called a Queenfisher!
"Seeing a female cardinal means that you will receive good news or something positive will happen for you in the future. The female cardinal is a sign of bright days ahead in which you can turn your dreams into a reality".
This warming female cardinal is undoubtedly dreaming of better days ahead since a late-season arctic blast sent temperatures plummeting to about the coldest we've seen all winter last night. Sheltered valleys here in Winneshiek County hit -18 F early this morning.
The Wood Duck is one of the most stunningly pretty of all waterfowl. Males are iridescent chestnut and green, with ornate patterns on nearly every feather; the elegant females have a distinctive profile and delicate white pattern around the eye. These birds live in wooded swamps, where they nest in holes in trees or in nest boxes put up around lake margins. They are one of the few duck species equipped with strong claws that can grip bark and perch on branches.
This female cardinal has her feathers all fluffed up to fight off the vaunted Polar Vortex that continues to send frigid arctic air south into Iowa.
This female House Sparrow has been nest building in our house recently.
I have watched her landing on our tree and plucking her breast feathers before heading back to the nest.
This is the first time I have seen this.
A female Moose was grazing at Turnbull NWR. What caught my eye while reviewing my photos was that it appears that she has a second face on the end of her snout! This perspective of the Moose is a little odd, alien and/or eerie... but definitely an interesting dark passenger. Photo taken in Cheney, Washington.
