Catching up on my recent bird photos. I saw this little bird with such a colorful background and I really want to get a photograph but it wasn't very cooperative. I think it's a Yellow-rumped Warbler.
Another hyperactive little bird. I think this one is a Ruby-crowned Kinglet, but a female so no ruby crown.
Another bird that wouldn't sit still - a Downy Woodpecker.
The winter ducks are coming back - Hooded Mergansers and Buffleheads.
Of course, the usual suspects are still around.
My camera's bird detection has a hard time finding a black eye on a black head with Dark-eyed Junco's.
I normally wouldn't pay too much attention to sparrows, but the yellow on this Golden-crowned Sparrow caught my eye.
I noticed these Spotted Towhees but they were deep in the branches and I just walked by. But when I glanced back they had both moved out into the open so I went back and got a few photographs. Occasionally I see one near my bird feeder, seemingly gazing longingly at it. But I've never seen them actually feed from it.
A final parting shot of a gull's colorful feet.
