Winged Wednesday - 7/5/2023

Eric is gone for the next two weeks doing bird photography. Unfortunately, I have to post this thread today because I am going to transition to a more powerful and up-to date computer over the next days and will not be up to speed until next week. So here goes. Please pile on with your excellent bird images.

Bullock's Oriole (female) in my Palo Verde Tree.

Gray-headed Dark-eyed Junco.

Ladder-backed Woodpecker

Lawrence's Gold Finch

I just dragged out an old laptop and it is working fine so I will be able to comment on your images. Thanks in advance for joining in.

Close up of a mallard hen, she sat still long enough for me to get this shot.

More images of Oystercatchers from Barra Airport. The Oystercatchers were nesting on rocks in the sands just off the runway. Bright sunny day and heat shimmer is evident in the images. Ken

This is a great series of the Oystercatchers Ken. I saw some on my trip to Scotland in May.
