Camera Critter #116

Earlier this week, I began hearing a loud racket outside my door.

Knowing the racket was from American Crows, I grabbed my camera and went out to take a look.

Well, this is what I saw...

It's another bird week for me and Camera Critters, but I can't help it with this critter.

The Yellow-headed Blackbird is a gorgeous avian. I've used them before here, but heck...who can resist using a photo of one of these over and over?

When I lived just outside a small town east of my current location, I would see Brown-headed Cowbirds two or three times a month. After all, they are a rather common bird in central Oregon.

However, since moving to Redmond, I hadn't seen a Brown-headed Cowbird at all...until last Sunday. Not only did I find a male at my feeder, but I also found a female with him

Camera Critter #113

Last year around this time, I was shooting a variety of critters, from the bee shown here, to beetles to flies to butterflies. I was having a blast.

But so far this year, wildflowers haven't bloomed, few critters of any type other than birds are showing up, and I'm desperately waiting for better weather. It's been cool, cloudy and wet for the better part of the spring. We have had maybe a half dozen days when the temperature was above 70.

But hopefully that will soon change...and I, again, will be a happy photographer.
