zackiedawg Posted February 4, 2020 #233 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Haven't shared a few here in a while - only on the weekly photo thread which doesn't necessarily have as many wildlife enthusiasts following - since this is 'for the birds', I figured I'd toss in some of the varied selection down here in South Florida with the new camera & lens combo: A6600 and FE200-600mm: Great blue heron with an awfully big lunch: The rarely seen (around here) Wilson's snipe: A cooper's hawk with the remains of his meal: Loggerhead shrike with his lunch - a smaller bird, and a smaller lunch: A green heron in nice late warm sunlight, showing off his fine feathers and colors: An ibis flying overhead in late sunset light, with his own shadow reflected on his wings: A red-shouldered hawk flying down low through the trees and bushes to sneak-attack: 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingFlip Posted February 5, 2020 #234 Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) Great bird IDs, Zackiedawg. I was looking through your photos doing my own IDs (before reading your captions), and you clearly know your birds. Particular kudos on the juvenile Cooper's hawk ID. That's tricky, since so many of the juvenile raptors look identical. We had a clutch of four Cooper's hatch across the street from us ... and spend much of the summer hanging out at the bird bath in our backyard. But that's not an easy call without a great deal of familiarity. Edited February 5, 2020 by FlyingFlip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zackiedawg Posted February 13, 2020 #238 Share Posted February 13, 2020 We only get one type of spoonbill here in Florida. Fortunately, they're one of the loveliest in the world, the roseate spoonbill. Here are a few last week: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docker123 Posted March 16, 2020 #249 Share Posted March 16, 2020 A beautiful Monday morning here is Williamstown (Melbourne, Oz). A bit cool, no wind, clear blue skies. A black shouldered kite was out looking for a meal along the shore. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
