When the temperatures are high and the foliage is still abundant, it can be hard to locate wildlife to photograph. That is when I am especially grateful for birds such as the male pine warblers shown above and below..(Note: I had incorrectly identified these images. Thanks to a sharp-eyed reader for the correction)...
Perched on a fence post, the next two images are of a juvenile blue bird....
A juvenile cardinal is the subject in the next two photos...
I was hoping to photograph a coyote when this gray catbird posed nicely...
While hoping to find a warbler this chipmunk appeared instead...
The next three images are of common yellow-throat warblers, the first is a male...
Next is a female...
Finally a juvenile male...
Eastern phoebe's are often fearless...
A gold finch searching for seeds...
This grasshopper sparrow is a "first" for me...
A house finch drinks from a muddy puddle...
We still see the occasional hummingbird in our yard...
I had trouble identifying this indigo bunting...
I am drawn to leaves suspended from spider webs...
The mud puddle still attracts mockingbirds...
And a thirsty mourning dove...
A few late migrating monarch butterflies are still around...
Persimmons are ripening and providing food for many species ranging from deer to opossums...
I came upon this drenched red-shouldered hawk during a recent downpour...
This female American red-start was in our yard...
I found this song sparrow early one morning...
This yellow-billed cuckoo was enjoying caterpillars in our yard...
This adult and juvenile bald eagle were feeding on a road-killed deer...
Another suspended leaf...
A nuthatch with a stink bug...
This inquisitive gray squirrel came quite close...
Rough-winged swallows are preparing to migrate...
All of these photos were taken within five miles of our house near Jefferson, MD...
I found this black and white warbler just yesterday...
Thanks for visiting, be well, and come back soon.
