Male Pileated Woodpecker hard at work exterminating the bugs in my yard. Bill's Backyard Bird Blind.
This is the first year that I have a Cuphea ( Firecracker ) plant. The Ruby-throated Hummingbird's love it. My happy backyard.
I wish all these little guys were as cooperative as this Warbling Vireo. It would sit just long enough to get a shot. Bucks County PA.
Male Yellow-bellied Sapsucker heading up the tree in search of a good place to get sap. Bucks County PA.
Bandit and I went for a walk in the brief snow that we had here. He spotted the Red Fox for me. It's harder than one thinks to shoot while the snow is coming down. The camera wants to focus on the flakes. I managed to get a few pics of her. Bucks County PA.
My Red Fox came running from the back up to the bird feeders where the squirrels hang out. There were eight of them and they ran in all directions confusing the old man. Bill's Backyard Bird Blind.
Male Kentucky Warbler
I wish it wasn't so dark to show off the real beauty of this bird. This fellow kept flying around and would stop briefly to sing a little song. Worthington State Forest, Old Mine Rd, Columbia, NJ.
The Painted bunting is a small brightly-colored member of the cardinal family. The males are brightly colored with blue, green, red and yellow plumage. Females and juveniles are bright green with pale rings around their eyes. The male is considered by many to be North America's most beautiful bird, and they are one of the most popular visitors to bird feeders. Painted buntings are one of the most spectacularly colored and visually impressive birds in the United States and are the only U.S. bird with a blue head along with red underparts.
Painted Buntings are still fairly common, but populations have been dropping for several decades. The North American Breeding Bird Survey estimated a decline of 62% between 1966 and 1995, but the 1966-2014 survey does not find significant decreases, suggesting that populations may have stabilized, or at least the decline has slowed, since 1995. Partners in Flight estimates a global breeding population of 13 million, with 80% spending at least part of the year in the U.S., and 51% in Mexico. The species rates a 12 out of 20 on the Continental Concern Score, and is not on the 2014 State of the Birds Watch List. Painted Bunting is listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List.
Found this male in Lake Wales, Polk County, Florida.
This vulture prefers to live in dry savannah, thornbush, arid plains, deserts with scattered trees in wadis, open mountain slopes. They are usually found in undisturbed open country with a scattering of trees and apparently prefer areas with minimal grass cover. While foraging, they can wander into denser habitats and even into human inhabited areas, especially if drawn to road kills. They may be found in elevation from sea-level to 4,500 m (14,800 ft).

A female Ruby-throated Hummingbird sits on a nest as the male only sticks around for mating and then he leaves. This is the first nest that I have ever seen. We will be going back to check on the little ones . Wish it was a little lower and not so dark. Bucks Co. PA.
One of the most Beautiful moments of my Life! African sunset, I had just got the Canon camera, it was late wintertime, and the cold couldn't bother me in all the new excitement, our winter's not being so bad after all. My first ever real sunset experience, a sea of clouds above, with the feeling and spirit of Ra!! ☀️ The Magaliesberg mountains, leading out into the distance, they stretch for many many miles across, they are some of the very oldest in all the world-wide; the reason they appear smooth.
Dear friends, hope the picture can bring peace and hope in these crazy times happening to us all, may it find you well, our God bless.
Thanks for your loyal support, it has meant so much to me.
American tree Sparrow also known as the Winter Sparrow breed in Northern Canada to Alaska. There was a small group of them here at the Pole Farm, Mercer Meadows, Lawrence Township, NJ.
In Greek mythology, Phoebe is one of the original Titans, the daughter of Uranus and Gaia. The word itself means bright and radiant, qualities pretty much the opposite of the eastern phoebe. So what does any of this have to do with how the eastern phoebe got its name? Absolutely nothing.
Instead, the name comes from the call these birds make: FEE-BEE. Unromantic, but descriptively accurate. Sort of like the killdeer, which couldn't harm Bambi even if it wanted to, but does make the sound KILL-DEER. Scientifically, the eastern phoebe is known as Sayornis phoebe, and is a member of Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatcher family. It's the largest and most diverse bird families in the world, with members found in almost all of the Western Hemisphere.
Eastern phoebes are mostly migratory birds, breeding during the summer in Canada's far north and most of the eastern United States, traveling south into Florida, Mexico and parts of the Caribbean to spend the winter. Generally, they are found year-round in the Southeast but north of Florida; in recent decades, however, there have been a few eastern phoebes found nesting ias far south as Everglades National Park. Most, however, arrive here in September and October, and return north in March and April.
I found this one along Joe Overstreet Road in Osceola County, Florida.
Named for its loud ‘bob white’ call, this quail is a small chunky bird with short rounded wings. Males have a black cap, white throat and chin, and a white stripe through and above the eye to the back of the head. Females have a tan colored throat and no black neck collar.
Bobwhite quail live in bushy areas interspersed with fields. They prefer edges, fence rows and areas with vegetative cover.
Bobwhites are active during the day; they feed on seeds, fruit, insects and green plants. Pairs are monogamous with pair bonds sometimes persisting between breeding seasons. Males advertise during the May to August breeding season with a distinctive bob-bob-white call.
Females lay large clutches of up to 14 eggs, which hatch after 23 days. The precocial young are about the size of a quarter coin, and feed largely on insects. The chicks double their weight every 10 days can fly within 2-3 weeks.
Bobwhites are commonly seen in groups known as coveys. Coveys usually consist of about 10-30 birds, depending on the time of year. Every night, for safety, the covey forms a circle with their heads facing outwards, away from each other and their tails together. If a predator startles them, the covey flushes in all directions.
Bobwhite quail are a popular game bird in the United States. In 1970 an estimated 35 million of them were shot. In the southeastern US these tiny birds were instrumental in the preservation of some of the best examples of old growth high pine.

A different crop to an earlier version of this capture. If I have learned anything over the past 8 months, a crop will have a dramatic affect on the presentation of a composition
Carrying on the Godrevy theme; I do like LE however, why would you disguise the reflections of light on the ripples of the sea?
This is what it looks like when a Black Skimmer is only four feet away before it turns off trying to scare you from the nesting area. I didn't budge and just kept shooting hoping to stay in focus. So cool to see these beautiful birds up close and almost too personal. Nickerson Beach Park, Long Island NY.
