I’m not sure if this was a new bird out back, or just a new bird to me, but he was flitting from tree to tree out there despite the fence being installed just a few feet away. And they had a fire pit going also, but the smoke didn’t seem to bother him either. I don’t think I’ve seen these black and white markings before.
Those are my only new photos today, but I also worked on a couple of the eagle pictures from a few days ago. That eagle was so cooperative, how could I resist?
And I had Sandhill cranes as visitors to the backyard the other day also. I had the 600mm lens on the camera and they were too close to me so getting a good picture wasn’t easy. Plus my Adirondack chair was in the way, but they were doing a flirty little dance out there so I kept shooting rather than miss it.
