The American white pelican (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos) is a large aquatic soaring bird from the order Pelecaniformes. It breeds in interior North America, moving south and to the coasts, as far as Central America and South America, in winter. The German naturalist Johann Friedrich Gmelin described the American white pelican in 1789. The scientific name means "red-billed pelican", from the Latin term for a pelican, Pelecanus, and erythrorhynchos, derived from the Ancient Greek words erythros (ἐρυθρός, "red") + rhynchos (ῥύγχος, "bill").
A nice sign of spring, finally seeing robins and red winged black birds, still not getting warm out though.
American Oystercatchers are the only birds in their environment with the ability to open large molluscs such as clams and oysters (except for large gulls that drop clams onto pavement). Foraging oystercatchers often attract other birds eager to share (or steal from) the oystercatcher’s “raw bar,” including Willets, large gulls, and Ruddy Turnstones.

An unmistakable bird of the Caribbean and nothern South American coast, this species is found in saline lagoons where it often walks with its head under water as it feeds on acquatic invertebrates. Santuario de Fauna y Flora Los Flamencos, Camarones, Colombia

I think this is the female, she is not as dark as the male. Not 100% sure. They have youngs now and they are teaching them how to feed themselves.
American beech is a distinctive and elegant forest tree in Kentucky and throughout eastern North America. In early spring new leaves emerge from buds as feathery tassels. Handsome foliage develops a golden bronze color in the fall. American beech's graceful, spreading form is superior to other beeches and is attractive throughout the year. Winter, however, emphasizes this tree's other notable attributes - its long, thin, pointed, brown leaf buds and its smooth, thin, light gray, "wrinkled" bark that resembles an elephant's hide. American beech bark is nearly white and is much paler than European beech. Like oak, beech often holds on to its bottom leaves throughout winter.
This Oystercatcher appeared to be searching for his favorite mollusks, while ignoring the crab in the lower left hand corner.
Papilio polyxenes, the black swallowtail, American swallowtail or parsnip swallowtail, is a butterfly found throughout much of North America. My garden in Fairfield Harbour, NC
This robin found a nice place to pose with lovely light and bokeh. I love it when they find a good place to pose!
This bird, with the white forcrown has been around for several months and may be the same bird that I saw last year. American Goldfinches don't typically have the white patch on their heads. Photographed in my backyard, Yakima County, Washington. IMG_7348
Although this photo was taken in August, very few of these American Goldfinches remain. The ones I've seen have rather dull plumage as they are set to migrate soon.
A lively warbler that hops among tree branches in search of insects, the male American Redstart is coal-black with vivid orange patches on the sides, wings, and tail. True to its Halloween-themed color scheme, the redstart seems to startle its prey out of the foliage by flashing its strikingly patterned tail and wing feathers. Females and immature males have more subdued yellow “flash patterns” on a gray background. These sweet-singing warblers nest in open woodlands across much of North America.
Backyard Tips
In late summer, redstarts visit plants with small berries and fruits, such as serviceberry and magnolia. Planting these in your yard may help attract them.
