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!!

Smile on Saturday.

Green Animals.

Female Northern Cardinal in the backyard.

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!

A female American Goldfinch coming into our yard for a drink and snack!

Female Orchard Oriole Bird.

This female cardinal is putting the final trimmings on her family's Christmas tree today.

"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".

another unexpected yard visitor.

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.

Found an old photo I like

Wet Female Baltimore Oriole.

Was really amazing having the opportunity to shoot this wonderful bird.

They catch the snail in their feet and then transfer it to their beak while flying.

Northern Female Cardinal in the Snow

Female American Robin Bird,

Getting the background in the right spot took patience, it's part of the photo, and many times, the most difficult.

The dragons were out in force today at Flanders. Nice to see some Emperors about but they wouldn't sit still. I'll not been posting too much for a while as the camera is going in for repair - a huge problem with autofocus.

A female Rufous Hummingbird!! She is sipping nectar from our Purple Amistad Salvia. I will miss these fiesty little ones when they migrate to a warmer climate. However, our resident Anna's Hummingbirds will be happy, when they leave. Photo taken in our backyard in Camas, Washington.

This female red-winged blackbird was gathering the flies, presumably for a nearby nest.

On gorse in Rathdrum

A late season checkered white butterfly that was still out after our first freeze here.

A complete surprise to find a group of these birds in my local forest park, but it appears a large group is migrating northwards with the recent warm weather. As the snow melts in March this unofficially kicks off migration of larks, meadowlarks and Blue Birds. It means winter is coming to a close (although it often has the last laugh!)
