Tachycineta bicolor - Tree Swallow

I was attacked by a flock of swallows to get this picture.

A beautiful, male, Long-tailed Duck in his breeding plumage.

Spotted in Virginia. A vulnerable species, close to being endangered. They are named for their long tail, but that’s not very surprising. They breed in the Tundra, and are deep sea divers that feed on small fish and crustaceans, they truly are amazing an unique birds!

Last winter I stared at the bird feeder for hours and took a bunch of pictures every time a bird showed up. I think this one might be my favorite.

Canada Goose

They were in one of the Vernal Pools we were monitoring. They left as soon as we got to the pool.

Sialia sialis - Eastern Bluebird He’s actually a lot brighter. The coloring just went a bit bad since I took this photo through a window, and it was cloudy outside.

And I thought to myself, "Do I really need to get up and disturb him, just to do laundry? No, I don't."

“What’s that over there?”

Just a couple of mammals.
