Disclaimer
Identifications are best effort and descriptions are for fun, not factual. Real information can be found on the links at the end of each individual entry.
Brown-headed Cowbird
A brood parasite that I’ve only photographed through a window, unfortunately.
Cooper’s Hawk
This judgmental looking bird was hunting some house sparrows, who managed to hide where the hawk couldn't quite reach!
Sharp-shinned Hawk
I've seen quite a few of these, but only this one stayed still long enough for me to get a picture!
Tufted Titmouse
Skittish little guy who was scavenging in the leaves and branches. Had to be patient to wait for him to come out into the open!
Rock Dove (Pigeon)
Many consider these birds pests but they're fantastic creatures! Look at the beautiful iridescence on its neck and that vibrant eye!
Northern Mockingbird
A singing bird that I’ve seen quite a bit… but only rarely with my camera!
Golden-Crowned Kinglet
Catching a Kinglet in a photo has proved difficult. They continue to evade me, but they can’t hide that golden crown!
Eastern Towhee
On one of my walks there were quite a few of these little guys out and about. They've got some great colors and contrast!
Eastern Bluebird
A flock of bluebirds was hanging out near the trail! They were very polite and the great lighting made for many good pictures!
Belted Kingfisher
A crowned royal overlooking his pond. I got to see him making a few rounds too, though I wasn't able to get a good picture in flight.
Canada Goose
A common sight flying overhead or hanging out in a pond. Their distinctive shape and call make them easy to identify!
House Wren
A skittish little bird that I was only able to get a decent photograph of when it came to investigate a fallen tree!
American Crow
I always hear them, and yet I have yet to get a good close shot of them! And we even share a name!
Why are you running from me?!
Dark-eyed Junco
Tiny snowball fluff of a bird! Very adorable, top tier bird. No further questions.
Now with a NEW (to this website) regional variant!
Red-Tailed Hawk
A bird of prey known for its vibrant red tail. I got to see one teaching another to hunt!
Turkey Vulture
One of the classic “circling high in the sky” birds with a distinctive wing-pattern and bald head.
White-breasted Nuthatch
This little guy was just finishing up breakfast on a suet feeder when I arrived. Got a nice picture or two and then off they went!
