When I have a photo that is pretty much blown out but still photogenic, I will attempt to resurrect it and if that doesn’t work I will try to be artsy with it. Such is the case with this handsome Ruddy Duck (Oxyura jamaicensis). I like how it turned out. #bird #birdphotography #mybirdshots

I haven’t been birding in a while as the cold temps preclude me from getting out. But I still have a little reservoir of pics that I can share. Here is a lovely Carolina Chickadee (Poecile carolinensis) working the trees. #bird #birdphotography #mybirdshots

I love these little chatterbox wrens. Their songs make me happy. Once in a while, they will stay still enough to photograph them. Carolina Wren (Thryothorus ludovicianus) Wilson, NC #bird #birdphotography #mybirdshots

Just like the Bayberry candle light on Christmas Eve and then again on New Year’s Eve, the bluebird also symbolizes hope, happiness, love, renewal and good fortune. I love and am happy when I see an Eastern Bluebird (Sialia sialis), such as this beautiful male. #bird #birdphotography #mybirdshots

I saw at least 4 of these little heavily camouflaged birds working the trees yesterday. Sibley says they are uncommon this time of year. Someone should tell that to these adorable Brown Creepers (Certhia americana). #bird #birdphotography #mybirdshots

One lone (wayward?) Tundra Swan (Cygnus columbianus) visiting our local lake this morning. I don’t know if this is a common visitor to our county here or not. Maybe someone can assist me. #bird #birdphotography #mybirdshots

This morning on the way to church, there were at least 30 Black Vultures (Coragyps atratus) right along the road and in the nearby tree. On the way home from church, they were still there. So I went home, changed and grabbed my camera. #bird #birdphotography #mybirdshots mybirdshots.pixels.com
