Ruby-crowned Kinglet
/Had some fun today chasing this Ruby-crowned Kinglet through the trees.
Cape May Warbler - Lifer
/So lucky to see and photograph this new species (for me)m a Cape May Warbler who gas spent a few weeks now at a local park.
Eastern Meadowlarks
/Eastern Meadowlark - I have only photographed one of these before. I was super lucky, on our roadtrip to the Northern Neck to come across a field with about small flock of them flying back and forth. They were very skittish and flew anytime the saw a movement, including cars so I was able to only grab a few shots and then they were at the other end of the field completely out of my reach.

Lifer ~ Fox Sparrow
/Lifer for me.... Worked from home Monday and got a lifer in the front yard. Saw some rustling in the leaves outside the window so grabbed the camera and when this beautiful Fox Sparrow popped up in the tree I was able to get a few shots of it before it flew into the woods. Not a bad win for a work day!
So Many Waxwings
/So many Cedar Waxwings, so so many!! I only see them when I am with Parks Rountrey and today was a bonanza, thousands is not an exaggeration! I have so many photos to go through but here is a taste of what Parks, Michele Garrigan and I observed.
@Historic Tuckahoe thanks for your hospitality of allowing us onto the grounds.
Snow Bunting -Lifer!
/What a fantastic day of photography and hanging with friends I had yesterday at Bethel Beach near Matthews VA. Everything came into perfect sync and I was able to not only get this lifer, the Snow Bunting but 4-5 more which I will share over the next several days.
The Snow Buntings breed in the most northern areas of Canada and Greenland and while they do migrate to the US Atlantic states, they rarely make it as far south as Virginia according to the Audubon and All About Bird websites so this was a huge treat to see and photograph.
