The Blackhawk is one of the louder “birds” that flies low over the Potomac River. Since the plane/helicopter crash in DC, the Army has changed their flight training path to add more noise to the already busy skies around Dulles Airport and piedmont section of the river. . .

Bald eagles don't get their distinctive white head and tails until they are around five years old. This molting young eagle is about half that age (2 1/2 yrs). . . #bird #birds #featheredfriends #photography #eagle #baldeagle #canonphotography

With their migration underway, hummingbirds have been keeping my feeder busy from dawn to dark. This image was taken earlier today. They don’t even mind me photographing them from a spot closer to the feeder. . .

Migrating hummingbirds are still stopping by my feeder to fill up before continuing their long journey. The feeder is especially busy from the late afternoon until dark when the hummers take off for the next part of their trip. . .

With a few down feathers still hanging on, this Carolina Wren may not be dressed in its best plummage yet, but its voice was definitely working at full volume. . .

Check out the tongue. Must be near dinner time. . . #photography #deer #wildlifephotography #fawn #canonphotography
