Another selection of photos. These were all taken, either in my backyard or about 2 miles north of here at Svensen Island in the Columbia River.
First up is a winter visitor, the White-Throated Sparrow. The one just below is an adult and the one below that is an immature bird.
An American Crow flying by ...
A (male) Belted Kingfisher. I have seen two of these in my yard near the pond, but this one was on the Island. They are VERY skittish and won't let you get at all close.
A Common Goldeneye. This bird is either a female or a first-winter male.
Although common around here during the summer, this White-Crowned Sparrow is a bit more unexpected in the December/January time-frame.
Some Greater Yellowlegs ...
Some Northern Harrier photos. These are all female birds as the male of the species is gray.
A Canvasback Duck ...
A Peregrin Falcon ...
... eyeing a potential lunch of Northern Pintail Duck.
A selection of Bald Eagle photos. During the winter these are very common on the Island. The other day I saw 20 birds from a single viewpoint.
And the final series is of some Tundra Swans coming in for a landing ...
Thanks for stopping by!
