Feathered Friday - Sightings Over the Year

Here are a few sightings this year for this #featheredfriday

Here is a goldfinch using its long legs to hold onto some prairie plants for seeds.

Quite a few were out eating these seeds. Sadly I couldn't get the brighter yellow males in a shot.

I think this might be a Nashville Warbler, sadly it wasn't cooperative in pointing its head the right way so I could see its eye and beak.

A camera testing robin. This one caught my eye because it was the same color as the orange leaves in the tree.

This little tiny flycatcher is probably a pewee of some kind. Most likely an Eastern Wood Pewee.

Here is a copper headed cowbird looking to steal a nest from a yellow warbler by laying its eggs in there and throwing out the warbler's eggs.

Here is a white heron with some breeding plumage.

I always get shots of tree swallows whenever I see them. They are great posers and have a nice iridescent blue color.

Here are a bunch of wood ducks. These guys never cooperate with me and are always off in the distance and shy.

Now for a bonus monarch.

And a busy bee on some echinacea.

I wish I could post this for #fungifriday but I don't have enough material. Just this one mushroom. It needs to rain here more so I can go out mushroom hunting again. This guy is an Elm Oyster a nice edible, sadly most of the ones I find are 30 feet up in the tree.

That's all for now, thanks for looking :-)
