One of my favorite birds, and a most underrated mimic. I love listening to them, trying to pick out what other bird they are doing
. . . heard one do an oriole the other evening,. Did you know they have over 300 variations of their songs/imitations?
Happy Fourth! Thanks for Viewing.
Not the most original or inspired title in the world. I was going to name this photo "Childhood Memories", since I grew up in a small town in Connecticut and worked on a vegetable and tobacco farm during spring weekends and during the summer after schools (my math teacher owned the farm). There were many barns, and we hung broad-leaf tobacco in the barns to dry. I enjoyed that work at the time, but figured the "Childhood Memories" worked for me, but would not make sense to anyone else. So, "The Gray Barn" is all I could come up with! Maybe there's a seminar somewhere I could take on creatively naming photos! This scene is from Faust Park in Chesterfield, Missouri. The park was established to forever preserve the original estate of Missouri's second governor, Frederick Bates.

Gray Whale migration is in full swing off the California coast. Saw several, including a young calf.

I’m often undecided on whether a scene will look better with direct light, or later with supposedly better atmospheric color. This particular scene loses sun 2 hours before sunset this time of year, so I snapped this just before the sun dipped below a nearby ridge. I wish it was closer to golden hour, but I’m happy with the definition the direct light puts on the various contours of the landscape. I wasn’t confident in the sunset colors happening, which turned out to be a good hunch. I guess I’ll go back and try some other time. . .

The Blue-gray Gnatcatcher (Polioptila caerulea) is a tiny, long-tailed songbird native to North America, known for its energetic behavior and high-pitched, nasal calls. This species inhabits deciduous woodlands, forest edges, shrublands, and riparian areas, often near water. It is the northernmost and only truly migratory member of its genus, breeding across much of the United States and southern Canada and wintering from the southern U.S. to Central America and the Caribbean.

I'm not sure if this is a feral cat or just a neighborhood cat that likes to sit under my bird feeders in which I shoo him/her away. It seems to be in pretty good health though.
I just got a Sigma 1.4 teleconverter in the mail yesterday so my feline friend became my first practice subject. The quality was still good in low light and it was hand held. So I was very pleased with the results and hopefully I can get a bit closer to skittish wildlife in the future.
I hope everyone enjoys this image! :D
This is still a relatively new bird for me, and I love seeing them. On the overcast, foggy and damp winter day we spent at Algonquin the Jays were mostly very tricky to photograph. They spent most of their time in dense tree cover, and their shading - from white to slate black - made every kind of light an adventure. This bird was in enough light to be worth a try, with the dense Spruce habitat providing enough atmosphere.
