I finally was able to photograph my first red headed woodpecker while hiking up in the woods, love the sounds these beautiful birds make.
The red-headed woodpecker is a small or medium-sized woodpecker from temperate North America. Their breeding habitat is open country across southern Canada and the eastern-central United States
Spring migration is FINALLY starting! Last weekend I went to a spot in Virginia hoping to photograph some early migrants. A gorgeous Blue-headed Vireo (Vireo solitarius) put on a nice show. The leaves had not quite come out yet, so I was able to isolate the vireo with a clean, unblemished background. It will be harder in the coming weeks to photograph the migrants due to the increasing foliage, but I am looking forward to the challenge!

Black-Headed Grosbeak is a migratory bird, with nesting grounds from southwestern British Columbia, through the western half of the United States, into central Mexico. It occurs as a vagrant further south in Central America.
The grosbeak's song is a rich warble that is similar to that of an American Robin, but more fluent, faster, softer, sweeter, and mellow with rising and falling passages that make the song much longer than the robin's. The note is a sharp ik or eek. Both the male and female sing, but have different songs. Wikipedia
They sound beautiful, if you care to listen……

Yellow-headed blackbirds are not entirely uncommon west of the Cascades but they usually stay well clear of people. For whatever reason, on this day in late April, I was able to get close. A nice treat! Apparently this was an aberration as on several days since they stay at least 50 yards away.

Walked on the coast path today from Fowey to Par.....quite a hike !!! espescially as it was so hot. You get great views from the navigation mark on Gribbin Head. The main problems taking this image were harsh midday sun, and strong winds. I used a 10 stop Firecrest glass filter, and still only had an exposure time of 50 seconds at f16...... Have a great day.
Watching a group of greater flamingos could be really entertaining. I like it how their heads go up and down - especially when they stand close to each other it seems to be a kind of dance.
