Clark’s Nutcracker at Lassen Volcanic National Park

Central Winds Park, 9/2/2013
A friend of mine found a Hooded Warbler and a Cerulean Warbler at Central Winds yesterday. Of course, I wasn’t there. I think that all the Hooded Warblers got together and decided to stay away from me whenever I’m in Seminole County–I can’t seem to get that one on my Seminole County list. So of […]
Blåhake

Los sobrevuelos eran constantes, así que tuve muchas oportunidades para probar distintos seteos de la cámara aprovechando las primeras luces de […]
Central Winds Park, 8/31/2013
I went to Central Winds again this morning. I needed to be home a little early, so I decided to stay local. I think I startled an Osprey while it was eating its fish. We saw each other at the same time; I stood still, but it decided to take off anyway. And a young […]
