Camera Critters #290

As I have mentioned before, this has been a good year for me and lifer birds.

A week or so ago, I came across the little gem below.


It's not the best photo, but it is the first photo for me and the first time seen by me, of a Hermit Thrush.

Camera Critters #289

I came across this bird back in March of this year.  I thought it was a Lesser Goldfinch when I took this image and others.  So I didn't do much with the photos...until Friday evening.

 
 
As I looked through a number of photos I took in the past, I realized the bird wasn't what I originally thought.  In reality, it is a Ruby-crowned Kinglet.

Camera Critters #288

I have seen Common Nighthawks before, but not in the middle of the day on a hot day.  I was at the airport getting photos of aircraft a couple of months ago, when several of the insect hunting birds flew over.

Camera Critters #287


I saw a bumblebee Friday.

No, not the one pictured here.  The bumblebee I saw was crawling across the road.  I believe the mid 20s temperatures we have had the past couple of days is now taking it’s toll on the insect life.

The bee pictured below, is from a series of shots I made in late April 2013.  However, the one I saw ‘crossing’ the street looked very similar.
