As early spring migration continues, more and more species are arriving here in upstate New York. This week's favorite is the Northern Shoveler. A stunning, well adapted member of the dabbling duck family. Until we meet again....... #birds #springmigration #photography

Seeing this male Northern Cardinal waiting out the rain was a pleasant surprise on a wet, dreary day. #birds #photography
I was able to find the Northern Harriers this weekend. Watching them hunt is very exciting. Their abilities in flight are mind blowing to watch. This photo shows the female as she suddenly changes direction and drops into the field below. #birds #photography #canon
This female Northern Cardinal offered a welcome splash of color on another snowy winter day here in upstate New York. #birds #photography #cardinals
A recent "taillights" view of a female Northern Harrier. A well engineered raptor, and very exciting to observe. #birds #photography
I had the absolute joy of observing this female Northern Harrier yesterday as she hunted in a local field. #birds #photography
I waited in the brush for for what felt like forever and finally this Wood Duck emerged from the snag where he had been preening amongst the thick branches. Breathtaking to be this close to such a beautiful drake. #birds #wildlife #photography #naturephotography #canon
The morning sunshine led me to this beautiful Eastern Bluebird. He was in a small group and the scattered flashes of blue were pleasing to observe on this cold, windy day. #birds #photography #naturephotography #canon #wildlifephotography #bluebird
Probing Pileated. This week's entry for #WoodpeckerWednesday. Happy hump day to you all. #birds #photography

Must of been a good joke! Double-crested Cormorant image captured in January of 2024 in Venice, Florida. #birds #photography #florida
As the bright, warm sun sank lower in the sky, the frigid ten degree temperature faded for a moment. This Red-tailed Hawk had flown in and was preening close by. A very nice winter evening. #birds #photography #nature
Rare for me to spot the Belted Kingfisher's this time of year, due to the frozen streams and rivers. Thankfully there is still some open water locally. One of my all time favorite species to observe. Image captured on the Susquehanna River here in Owego, NY. #birds #photography
And her hair was perfect. Female Hooded Merganser floating with the sun on the Susquehanna River here in Owego, NY. #birds #photography
