A polite little bird perched on a wire!

So many photos of a parent warbler feeding its child!

… though is it really a green warbler? Looks more yellow to me.

Tracking down this owl was one of the highlights of Acadia National Park birding!

A common coastal sight photographed numerous times across Bar Harbor!

A tiny bird with a very cute face! More of a gray-headed vireo, but we’ll let it have blue since it looks so polite.

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.

This little hermit kept close to the forest trail! Equal parts cautious and curious, it was tough to get a decent photo.

A compact little butterfly with a pretty amazing name!

Frog that is green? That’ll be a Green Frog!

When I think of butterflies, this is one of the two I immediately think of! What beautiful wings!

Critter rescue alert! This salamander was found covered in dust and hair in the library. Don’t know how it got in or in that state, but after a thorough cleaning and moistening, it was released back into the wild!

Iridescent and magnetically sensitive! What incredible talents on this bird!

A common deer of North America that I really should have photographed and added here sooner but! I did not!

Now, however, is the time!

This vibrantly colored woodpecker was a fantastic find to end my trip to japan!

A tiny orange bird that looks ready for adventure!

A bolt of red and yellow dashing throw the reeds! I had never even heard of this bird before spotting it but wow! It’s so striking!

A tiny loaf of bird encountered in a park in Hakone!

Absolutely adorable!

Been a while since I posted a “trying to ID a distant bird” post, hasn’t it?

Well, time to fly that kite again!

When you stare at the gull the gull stares back (and judges you).
