The Red-winged Blackbird is an early spring arrival in Southern Ontario. The Blue background is an unfrozen pond with Cattails at the edges. Photographed at Long Point Ontario.
We had just walked a trail without seeing or photographing anything.
As we were returning to the car, suddenly a group of these beautiful parrots appeared. They spent some time feeding in the grass and then disappeared.
Uncommon and classified as Vulnerable.

Worn Common Buckeye butterfly at rest.
Migrant from southern states. Presence irregular, year to year. They can be everywhere. Last year, I did not see any.
Buff-winged Starfrontlets are appropriately named and have a conspicuous buff-colored patch on their wings. These hummingbirds are rather territorial and often pursue other hummingbirds in high chases, or guard flowers from others from a nearby perch. Buff-winged Starfrontlets inhabit dense cloud forests, elfin forests, and nearby shrubby areas. They are most often seen foraging low around forest borders where they primarily feed on nectar by hovering or briefly clinging to flowers.

To keep from getting bored at home, I set up a feeding station for the birds on our back deck. I could watch them fly in while I was working in the kitchen. I kept my camera handy on the table. One day I was lucky enough to catch this Chickadee as he landed on this truck prop I set outside. Happy Wing Wednesday!

I took part in a Lost Locations photo shoot last Thursday. It was exciting, but also exhausting. Later, nothing worked without a torch and a tripod.

Saltator atripennis
(Black-winged Saltator / Saltador de alas negras)
The Black-winged Saltator is a fairly common resident of humid montane forest on the west slope of the Andes from southern Ecuador to northern Colombia. It is more difficult to see than some other species of saltator, perhaps due to its preference for the canopy and its avoidance of clearings.

A Green Heron was prompted to fly from shore by a fisherman, so lucky me got to see it fly right past. Again, lucky, I got it dipping its wing in the lake. Santa Margarita Lake, CA.
I got lucky today as one of our local orchid experts took the time to show me a hidden meadow full of flowering green-winged orchids. They have an amazing variety of color, ranging from white, through pink, to deep purple. I'll have to return there in a few weeks when other species of orchids will come into bloom.
This is one of a decent-sized population that seem to be stable in the Cuyamaca Mountains. They used to be considered "rare" in these mountains, but I have seen them in groups of over half a dozen near my home for quite a few years now.

Straw-necked Ibis (Threskiornis spinicollis)
I am still seeing large flocks of Straw-necked Ibis.
Happy Wing Wednesday!
Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to view, fave or comment on my photo. It is very much appreciated.

The red winged blackbirds were active that day, calling and posturing for the females. They presented many opportunities for pictures. This was taken at Commonwealth Lake.
I don't see these birds very often at my feeders so I was happy when a couple of them showed up yesterday a few times.
