Sorry I haven't been submitting lately - life has been happening. Part of that was to entertain out-of-town guests and they wanted to go to the zoo. So the Aviary was calling me and these are some of the shots I got.

I hope to get caught up on my comments by the end of the weekend.

Largely, due to this SC, I've gotten some good publicity.

Excellent work Richard. You not only have a very nice collection of birds this month but some of them are absolutely stunning! Congratulations!

04/25/2013 08:43:27 PM · #187

Not sure about this one

Common Grackle

American Crow This was one of 3 that were harassing a Red Tail Hawk. The crow is below the Hawk which is why the size might not look right.

Greater Yellowlegs

These geese look so different depending on what they are doing. I included these samples so you can see what I mean.

American Black Ducks

Northern Harrier , Male This is the second image of this hawk that I have posted. This guy was miles away but I was very excited to see him and get some modest images.

Congratulations Richard - how marvelous for you!

The kids are growing up, we know there are at least 2 Owlets but some have claimed to see 3, personally I still believe there are only 2. One of these days I hope to get all three standing together.

Congratulations Richard, very nice collection of shots featured.
