Chestnut-sided Warbler
This was one of my goals. To find and shoot a nice male in breeding plumage. He was the third goal of an epic day at Delaware State Forest, Pike 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.
It's shots like this that makes it worth the while to lay on the beach even though it's getting harder to get up. A Sanderling with a Sand Flea at Stone Harbor point NJ.
I was so thrilled to see our first Ruby-throated Hummingbird of the year. I believe this male is a transient and went further north to it's summer residents. I haven't seen one since, but they will be here. Bill's Backyard Bird Blind.
There has been one Snow Goose staying with a flock of Canada Geese that come and go on the lake. This was taken in another foggy morning as they were going out to graze in nearby fields. Bucks County PA.
While walking across the dam, always look at the edge of the water for the American Mink. They look for anything to eat. Bucks County PA.
As this Black Skimmer got up it exposed a newly hatched chick. If you enlarge the pic, look to the left of the two eggs next to the adult. You can make out a wet little chick. Manasquan Inlet, NJ.
It was very windy here yesterday. Big chop on the lake and trying to catch this Horned Grebe in between the waves and from the wind pushing me back, made it an interesting challenge. Bucks County PA.
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.

White-winged Doves (Zenaida asiatica) are semi-tropical doves whose native range extends from the southwestern U.S. through Mexico and Central America, into parts of western South America, and to some Caribbean islands. They are also residents in Florida, where they were introduced. The majority of White-winged Doves are seasonally migratory. They overwinter in Mexico and Central America and come to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico in April to breed, departing again in September. Some will overwinter in their breeding range, especially in residential areas where food remains available. In the southern parts of their range, they are year-round residents. There are twelve subspecies of White-winged Doves. Western or Desert White-winged Doves (Zenaida asiatica mearnsii) and Eastern White-winged Doves (Zenaida asiatica asiatica) are the most numerous and widely distributed subspecies.
White-winged Doves feed on a variety of seeds, grain, and fruit that vary depending on their range and seasonal availability. They consume seeds and fruits of wild trees, grasses, and herbaceous plants, as well as those of ornamental cultivars. Domestic grain crops including sunflower, barley, sesame, sorghum, wheat, corn, and safflower are also an important food source in many parts of White-winged Dove’s range. To supplement their seed-based diet, White-winged Doves will also ingest shells of small snails and other gastropods, or bits of bone extracted from raptor pellets or mammal feces. The bones and shell are an important source of calcium for the doves, necessary for eggshell and crop milk production.
I found this one in my backyard in 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).

Houston, Texas-1903
Had limited opportunity to do any birding due to the Covid-19 , so I have taken the opportunity to go through some of my photos from last year and this one was taken in a Houston suburb, I seem to recall someone telling me that this was one of the few times if ever a Red Phalarope in plumage colors had been seen in Houston, Texas.
Breeding male Bobolink rests for a minute before taking off to catch another bug and then back down. 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.

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
I'm renting the Sony RX 10 M4 just to see if I want to buy it. I've had the same cell phone and Canon cameras for a few years and want to try something different.
