I had a lifer today when I FINALLY spotted a Merlin! This year I've been able to check the boxes of two small raptors, this and an American Kestrel. #Birds #Birding #Wildlife #Nature #Photography #Animals #Photos #Photo #ECK #Raptors

Compared to last weekend, there were a lot less hummingbirds and monarch butterflies. Lucky to see this one. #birds #birding #birdphotography #birdwatching #instabirds #wings #wildlifephotography #nuts_about_birds #naturephotography #photography #photographersunited #blueskyartshow #eastcoastkin

This hummingbird was quite content just hanging out. #birds #birding #birdphotography #birdwatching #instabirds #wings #wildlifephotography #nuts_about_birds #naturephotography #photography #photographersunited #blueskyartshow #eastcoastkin

First time photographing a bird in flight. I wasn’t quick enough to catch it from the front this time. #birds #birding #birdphotography #birdwatching #instabirds #wings #wildlifephotography #nuts_about_birds #naturephotography #photography #photographersunited #blueskyartshow #eastcoastkin

My first time taking pictures of the hummingbird migration. It was so exciting to see so hummingbirds flying in every direction. Here is my favorite photo. #birds #birding #birdphotography #birdwatching #instabirds #wings #wildlifephotography #nuts_about_birds #naturephotography #nature_perfection
