A Common Yellowthroat makes an appearance just long enough to get a couple of shots. They're normally shy and hide deep in the reeds.

Bite size. A little morning snack for this Reddish Egret.🪶

#Connect2Nature As a nature photographer I am used to being distracted by small movements in the bushes. This Great Grey Owl is not distracted, but focused on those movements. Unlike the Owl, I am not planning on eating whatever it is that is making that movement. #Birds #Owls #Photography

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme from @robcrank68.bsky.social is #SmallBirdsInFlight - any bird duck size or smaller in flight. This male Vermilion Flycatcher was kind enough to repeatedly return to the same perch, allowing me to get a few decent shots. #birds #ECK
