Christopher from Picus Blog is on a marvelous trip to Trinidad & Tobago so we’ve added his entry: a female Elegant Trogon!!

Another great week is upon us. I’m sharing a couple of photos of a partial albino Junco seen at the feeders of my park visitor center.

I had a fabulous time at the St. George Winter Bird Festival last weekend; got some great water fowl pictures like these wood ducks. More to come!

Sending you a friendly Western Kingbird from my summer trip to New Mexico. http://vickiehenderson.blogspot.com/2008/08/western-kingbird.html

Our quest for the Yellow-billed Magpie last November.

I’m sharing photos of a rare winter visitor to Wisconsin’s north woods – a female Varied Thrush.

A pair of American Kestrels from the Katy Prairie area, just west of Houston, Texas. No great composition here, but nice examples of the differences in coloration and markings between the male and female of the species. Enjoy!

Red-tailed Hawk from me this week!

11 Larry Jordan February 2, 2009 at 11:37 pm

I was lucky enough to photograph one of my favorite birds of prey, the Red-shouldered Hawk.

Hey Matt, since you don’t have a place to comment, I just wanted to say what a super capture you have of the Red-tailed Hawk portrait. Is that bird in flight? The image is so sharp and I love the bokeh.

A little late but better than never…White-winged Crossbills!

14 Matt Bango February 3, 2009 at 2:27 pm

Hi Larry – Thanks for the kind words! The photo was taken when the bird was in the classic T pose, just prior to taking flight. 500mm equivalent (300mm + 1.7 TC) and the bird was fairly close which helped with the bokeh.

Hello,

I think I will enjoy the BPW a lot and plan to be a regular.

16 Elizabeth Hunter February 3, 2009 at 10:37 pm

I just submitted a Least Sandpiper that I digiscoped last spring.

I am posting White-headed Pigeon and Terns.

Our local urban Bald Eagle chicks peeked over the rim of the nest yesterday, but my camera wasn’t ready. I am terrible with flight shots, but one of the adults accommodated with a flyby.

19 The Zen Birdfeeder February 4, 2009 at 7:06 pm

We tracked down one of the Snowy Owls that are visiting our region and posted some digiscoped images on The Zen Birdfeeder.
