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.
Bahama Mockingbird
The mockingbird sits high upon its perch—a raised stage from which it sings to all who would hear its song.
American Bittern
A very silly waterbird noted for its neck and face. Unfortunately, I do not have any photos of it in its iconic poses.
Yellow-rumped Warbler
I spotted a bunch of these all on one walk, and some were even chasing bugs! How exciting!
American Mink
Saw this guy dart through the brush early on in a walk and missed him, but then saw him at the end in nearly the same spot!
Northern Flicker
A very distinctive woodpecker with a bright red patch and unique coloration/pattern! This one was foraging on the ground instead of on a tree!
Chipping Sparrow
With its chestnut cap and black eyeliner, the chipping sparrow is looking cute!
The former iconic sparrow of North America.
American Goldfinch
The tiniest tennis ball bird. I've seen them darting around now and again but caught a couple pictures when they took a break on a branch!
Banded Wooly Bear
Putting the close-up capabilities of this lens to the test! I'm pretty happy with the detail on its fur given the short amount of time I spent taking pictures!
Tree Swallow
This whole session was shots of opportunity, but this tree swallow photographed from the window of a moving car is perhaps the most egregious of all I took that day.
Great Blue Heron
Barely got a picture before this one flew out of sight to not be seen again for the rest of the walk. I wish it was a better picture, but I'll take what I can get!
Double-crested Cormorant
Flyin' fast and flyin' low, I didn't have a lot of time to wait for a really clear shot. I saw a handful of these darting around.
Bald Eagle
A very long-distance shot, so pretty blurry, but I'm still glad I was able to capture that distinctive appearance! Lucky!
Eastern Cottontail
Frequently seen nibbling on grass and sometimes even laying down on a nice day! I really need to photograph them more.
I'm incredibly impressed by the camera/lens for being able to get these shots in absolutely terrible lighting.
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!
