Bird Photography Weekly #28

by Bird Photography Weekly on March 9, 2009

Bird Photography Weekly #27 is complete so join in on the action of the 28th installment.

B.P.W. was delayed as we were stuck in northern Wisconsin with car trouble and no computer. Birdfreak’s Volvo had a wire come loose disabling the car and requiring a tow. (A freak incident but one that left us stuck on a lonely state highway.)

All’s good now and we’re back home, tired but happy to have had a good time visiting relatives before the car trouble.

The Birdfreakmobile being towed… not often you see a Volvo needing a tow :)

Glad you’re home safely. I’m bringing you a pair of red-shouldered hawks.

I’m sharing a red-tailed hawk photo this week.

I’ve captured an immature Bald Eagle for this weeks BPW. Glad to hear you made it out of trouble OK Eddie! So there’s the answer to the age old question, “where’s a cop when you really need one?”

Re-learning bird-watching featuring an American Coot, a Cedar Waxwing and a Western Bluebird

Glad y’all made it back home safe and sound!

I’ve posted pictures of some Double-crested Cormorants that I stumbled upon unexpectedly last week. Enjoy!

Glad to see the car is okay now. I have a Pileated Woodpecker this week.

Posting a photo of a Ruby-crowned Kinglet. The link is to another site of mine.

This week is a Brown Pelican taken this past weekend at Bonita Springs, FL.

14 Amanda's Veranda March 10, 2009 at 8:06 am

I had various birds to share this week. Pygmy Owl, trumpeter swan, pintail duck and a gazillion starlings.

15 Wisconsin Birdwatcher March 10, 2009 at 8:32 am

Five BPW contributors trumped me this week! I swear I was first going to post a red-shoulder hawk, then a red-tailed, then a pileated woodpecker, then a bald eagle, then brown pelicans. Finally settled on a Song Sparrow : )

A shot of a flicker from a county road.

Red Winged Blackbirds are out in force – the true sign of spring. It’s amazing to watch them take a deep breath, fluff all their feathers out, stretch like a yoga guru, and then let loose with Con-ko-ree. When two of them land in the same bunch of cattails, watch out!

18 Melissa March 11, 2009 at 12:39 pm

Adding a brown pelican from our trip to Mexico last fall; sorted through the photos recently and found this beauty.

19 Red March 13, 2009 at 12:07 am

Great Egret, seen in 3 different locations.

Glad help eventually arrived for you Eddie!
