It was almost as if this Osprey was saying, "Why, why did I let that fish go?!" 🤣 This poor guy was being bombarded by a Belted Kingfisher and Northern Flickers but that did not seem to faze him. #osprey #bird #birding#brooklynbirding #ladybirder #canon #nature #femalephotographer

If you scroll back and forth real quick, you can create her wings moving. 💕 It is always an honor observing a Ruby-throated Hummingbird. 💕 #hummingbird #rubythroatedhummingbird #preciousmoments #nature #birds #birding #bird #canon #femalephotographer

I don't know about you but I don't feel like Fall migration is completely official until I see a Black and White Warbler. It took a couple of weeks but found this gorgeous girl just hanging around! 🤣 #warbler #blackandwhitewarbler #birder #birds #nature #canon #femalephotographer

The beauty of a Northern Parula. 💜 We were getting eaten alive by insects while observing this magnificent warbler. 🦟🐞🪲 It was totally worth it! 😍 #warbler #northernparula #birds #birding #brooklynbirding #nature #canon #femalephotographer #fallmigration

This beautiful Hooded Warbler put on a show the other day. They are usually in the understory of trees so this was a fortuitous occasion! 💕 #warbler #hoodedwarbler #bird #birds #birder #canon #nature

It was an Eastern Wood-Peewee type of day as they were pretty much everywhere! I love hearing their "peeeeeeaweeee" call! 🎶 These guys will be leaving soon, on their solo journey, to continue on to Central and South America. Bon Voyage little ones! 🧳❤️ #birding #birds #canon #nature #flycatcher

I FINALLY got to see a Blackburnian Warbler in the light!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ The funny thing is, I shot this bird knowing it was different but I had no idea who it was! So happy to see this beauty! 🥰 #warbler #blackburnianwarbler #birds #birding #nature #canon #femalephotographer

Who doesn't love a Kingfisher, especially one with a fish? 🥰 This female Belted Kingfisher was having a field day, hunting and eating away! 🐟🐠🐡 #bird #birding #beltedkingfisher #kingfisher #ilovebirds #canon #natureisawesome #nature #femalephotographer

I have been lucky enough to see 10 species of hummingbirds so far, but never have I been lucky enough to see their nests. 🪹 Yesterday, I was in awe after a friend pointed one out. What a scene! 🥰 #hummingbirdnest #hummingbirdbabies #rubythroatedhummingbord #bird #birding #canon #femalephotographer

A Magnolia Warbler taking a break from bugging out! 🤣 #warbler #warblerneck #fallmigration #bird #birds #brooklynbirding #canon #nature #femalephotographer

Finally birding back at home and was lucky to catch this American Kestrel as it took a break. It was a kestrel filled day as I came upon at least 3 and all were agitated as Red-tailed Hawks were in their territory. #kestrel #bird #brooklynbirds #nature #beauty #raptor #canon #femalephotographer

What's better than one Common Loon? Two, of course! 🥰 I continued my obsession and travelled to the Adirondacks this past weekend. 🌄⛰️ Perhaps the overcast weather had something to do with it as every body of water had these beauties greeting us! #bird #loons #nature #canon #femalephotographer

Closeup of a ruthless raptor. 👀 He gave me so many chances to get different shots of his awesomeness.I could only post four. 😳 Which one is your favorite? 😍 #bird #redtailedhawk #raptor #fierce #birder #brooklynbird #canon #femalephotographer #nature #awesomemoments

I know, I know, crows. But look how beautiful they are. I initially hoped ravens, but no. Did you know that crows are monogamous and stay together for life? 🖤🖤🖤 #corvid #crow #bird #birds #birdcouple #birder #femalephotographer #canon #nature #natureisawesome

Eastern Bluebird in Spanish Moss. 💕 #bird #bluebird #easternbluebird #nature #spanishmoss #canon #femalephotographer

This Northern Mockingbird was giving me stink eye because I wasn't paying attention to him. I was busy looking at a flycatcher. To his credit-he sure was cute! 🥰 #birds #bird #birdareawesome #ilikebirds #brooklynbirding #brooklyn #nature #natureisbeautiful #canon #femalephotographer

Little Blue Heron in breeding plumage. 💜💙💜💙 This guy was a stunner in his full purples and blues. He took no notice of me while he was hunting for lunch. #heron #bird #birds #birding #nature #beauty #littleblueheron #femalephotographer #birder #canon

Um, there seems to be something on my head. 😳 It's only a gorgeous Red-tailed Hawk. Luckily her head is made out of stone. 🤣 #redtailedhawk #hawk #raptor #bird #birding #birds #birdsareawesome #nature #natureisawesome #magic #magicalmoments #canon #femalephotographer #cemetery

Sometimes its not only about birds. Blue Rocks Nova Scotia #bluerocks #nature #landscape #novascotia #beauty #beautyinnature #canon #femalephotographer

It's always a good day when a Barred Owl comes flying towards you. 💕 #owl #barredowl #birding #birds #bird #birdsareawesome #raptor #canon #femalephotographer #birder #nature

A Little Blue Heron looking more white than blue. He will start getting that beautiful blue plumage in his second year. He still looks lovely, no? #littleblueheron #kindofblue #bird #heron #juvenilebird #birding #birds #birdsofflorida #canon #femalephotographer #nature #smallmoments #peace

I'm in an Avocet type of mood. These are non-breeding or immature Avocets. They were captured in February, so their black breeding plumage won't be seen for another month or so. #avocet #avocets #bird #birds #nature #floridabirding #canon #femalephotographer

Missing my Common Loon families and wondering how they are faring. These beauties were captured in NH & ME over the summer. Hours were spent observing the parents diving for fish and feeding their young. 🥰 #loon #loonfamilies #bird #birds #birding #canon #femalephotographer #nature

A close encounter of the otherworldly kind. What a gorgeous female Ruby-throated Hummingbird! I heard the flutter of her wings as she flew by. 🌸🌺🌻 #hummingbird #smallbird #birds #birdingisawesome #birding #maine #southwestharbor #rubythroatedhummingbird #canon #femalephotographer

While in Maine we got to go on a Puffin cruise. 🚢 The air was as thick as pea soup and it was extremely frustrating to shoot but I was able to catch these beauties. At least their Spring/Summer beaks stood out with their beautiful orange color. 🧡 #puffin #maine #petitmanan #canon #nature #birds

People STOP feeding bread to birds! It is fatal!!! Share this far and wide!

What a mesmerizing experience watching Wood Storks transport nesting materials. It's hard to imagine these gigantic gangly creatures flying through the air. Their nesting period in SC occurs from March to May with fledglings appearing in July. 💕 #stork #bird #nature #femalephotgrapher #canon

Snowy Egrets being territorial. What a tussle between a breeding male and younger male! I felt like I was watching "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"! Don't worry, they both got a piece of property by the end. #bird #birds #nature #outside #southcarolinabirds #snowyegret #canon #femalephotgrapher

Meet my new personal trainer- the American Goldfinch. This male looked like he was auditioning for Cirque du Soleil! 🏋️ He also is very good for dieting, as he is pretty much a vegetarian - only accidentally swallowing a bug or two. 🐞🐝🐜🪲 #bird #birding #nature #goldfinch #femalephotographer #canon

I hit the Barn Swallow jackpot in Woodstock, NY! 🥰 Adults and juveniles were flying around catching lots of insects! 🪲 If we want to keep these beauties around, the pesticides have to STOP. 🛑 #bird #birds #birding #nature #canon #femalephotographer #birdphotos #barnswallows

This year I made it my mission to see Common Loons in breeding plumage. I was able to see them in 2 different states- NH & ME. I know warblers are pretty startling when they change over to their Spring plumage but I have to say, the plumage morph for the Common Loon is remarkable. #bird #loons

Upon our arrival on Prince Edward Island we were lucky to be graced with Northern Gannets. Their head plumage was so much brighter than I am used to as it dulls by September and I don't get to see them until the winter on the NYC/NJ shores. #birds #bird #nature #birdsareawesome #northerngannet

This little Ruby-throated Hummingbird landed right next to me. She closed her eyes for a moment and by the end the of shoot she flicked her tongue! Look at those little feet! They only have 4 little toes. Three point forward and one in the back to help perch. 💕 #bird #hummingbird #nature #birds

Here's another breeding plumage star- the Great Egret. While in this phase, they grow long plumes on their back and part of their face turns this beautiful green. #egret #breedingplumage #bird #birds #birdsareawesome #nature #natureisawesome #femalephotgrapher #portroyal #canon

Part 3 of the Common Tern saga. Besides taking care of their young, they also have to defend their territory! All in the life of a Common Tern. 💙 #commonbirdsareawesome #harbor #seabirds #femalephotographer #nature #canon

Part 2 The parent flies, contending with ships 🚢. Back with the fish, the juvenile is sated. 🐠 Or is he? Even with fish in mouth- he yells for more! #birds #birdsareawesome #nature #bayridge

A juvenile Tern flies in yelling, “FEED ME!” 😤 The incessant crying is too much! 🫣 See next post for part 2. #birds #commonterns #birdsareawesome

It's always a thrill to come upon a Tricolored Heron, especially in breeding plumage! 💙🪶 They develop white plumes on the back of their heads, their eyes become redder, and their bill blue. Nature is amazing! 🥰 #bird #birds #beautifulbirds #nature #natureisamazing #canon #femalepotographer #heron

An Anhinga in breeding plumage is a work of art! 🖼️ They stay in this startling plumage only for their breeding season, which is around March until May. Check out those feet as well! 💕 #anhinga #bird #birds #snakebird #birdsareawesome #birding #ilovebirds #nature #femalephotgrapher #canon #outside

Juvenile Robins are so beautiful!!!! 🥰 Look at his speckled chest! His signature orange chest won't appear until 2-3 months. I kind of like them like this. 💕 🍒🌸 #bird #birds #birdsareawesome #robins #juvenilebird #babybird #femalephotographer #canon #nature #natureisawesome

Look at these beauties! These 2 Great Blue Heron chicks were in their later nesting period. 🪺 This is the time when the mother leaves them for longer periods to forage. 🐠🐡🐟 They are almost ready to leave the nest themselves. After 10-12 weeks they say goodbye. 👋 #birds #birding #herons #nature

What a surprise to see these Green Heron fledglings in Brooklyn! They were so animated and adorable!!! #birds #birding #birdsareawesome #greenheron #heron #fledglings #brooklynbirds #brooklynbirding #nature #natureisawesome #canon #femalephotgrapher

What an awesome sight! A young adult Bald Eagle (probably around 3.5 to 4 years of age) flew right over our heads as we were hiking! He scared away some Northern Gannets- I managed to get shots of their backs. 🤣 At least 15 eagles have graced us with their presence on this trip! 💕 #bird #eagle #pei

Who's that peeping out the of bushes? 🧐 It's a very curious Common Yellowthroat couple!🥰 I love that we are seeing them in their breeding grounds. 🪺 I wonder if they will make it to our area in another month or less. ☺️ It feels good to be birding again! 🥳 #warbler #warblercrazy #birds #birding

Incoming! 🐠 I haven't gotten to do much birding on this vacation. Yet, how could I resist when this Osprey welcomed me to Prince Edward Island with his catch in his talons? 🐟 Each shot brings him closer. 🥰 #PEI #osprey #bird #birding #ilovebirds #nature #beach #wildscene #raptor #canonshot #love
