So fun to spend time with a bunch of red-headed (or "red-hooded" as I like to call them) woodpeckers last weekend! Such cool birds! 😍

Red-Shouldered Hawk ruling his territory like a boss. I love the intensity so commonly seen on the face of a raptor. Certainly no exception here! 🔥

If you were to ask me to pick a single bird that I remember vividly from childhood, it would be this one: an American Robin. Where I grew up, robins were a constant on the ground in the mornings and evenings. They eat insects, generally, but I remember them showing up en masse after a rain shower to fuel up on tasty earthworms that tried to cross the road. They always have a cheery little song to sing, as well. 🥰

Found this little male prothonotary warbler back during spring migration this year. Love that yellow color! 😍

I love listening to the almost constant singing of male red-winged blackbirds. Their wings have an almost fiery 🔥 appearance in evening sunlight! From a technical perspective, they're quite tricky to expose for without blowing out their red/orange/yellow wing color or crushing the blacks. It is for challenges like this that I continue to get out there in crazy hot weather, spin knobs, push buttons, and keep firing away on the shutter. The challenge is real... and yet, so rewarding. 😍🥰

I'm not sure who was winning the most here: this American Robin admiring the flowers or me getting to gaze upon both. Who am I kidding?! I was on the winning end of this one! 🥰

"Well hello over there, neighbor!" - Cliff Swallows 😎 l love how resourceful these little guys are. These nests are built underneath an overpass, just above a river, and are constructed of hardened mud balls. Cool, right?!

Re: my last post... PSYCH! This is actually my final unposted 2021 photo. You didn't think I would actually wrap up a year's posts on something other than a GBH, right? 😜 Jokes aside, I didn't plan for this to be the last of my 2021 photos. This one surprised me, too. I do love the almost fiery look of his eye-ball in full-on sunshine in this shot. 🔥 Okay, now looking onward to 2022 photos, for real this time!

Alright, this concludes my sanderling and sandpiper posts for a little while. This is actually my final unposted photo from my 2021 collection! Now, I can finally start posting from 2022 and I have some exciting ones to share! Stay tuned, my friends! 🥰
