Tree Swallows and a Rainbow

Hermit Thrush

Soaking up the morning sun on a very chilly (29°F) morning in Western New York.

Yellow-breasted Chat

The Yellow-breasted Chat normally hides in thick brush and can be very difficult to see.  In the early Spring however, the males expose themselves on open perches to sing.

I was lucky enough to catch this guy singing from a branch at the Latta Plantation Nature Preserve in Huntersville, North Carolina this weekend.

Lesser Yellowlegs on the left can easily be compared to the Greater Yellowlegs in the center.

Sunsets are like snowflakes...

No two are ever exactly the same.
