The girl had trouble getting his attention after he saw my lens pointed in his direction. I had fun photographing this wedding! This will be my last post before leaving for Alaska later this morning. Trusting I will have some photos of our trip for your enjoyment!

Henslow’s Sparrow

This was a new bird for me. It was far far away. in the camera it looked like it would not be too bad a photo, but it wasn’t to be.

Grasshopper Sparrow

Yellow Beauty

Yellow-breasted Chat. It used to be classified as a Warbler, but was recently removed from the Warbler list.

Singing in the Treetops

Willow Flycatcher

This photo was taken in the Woodbury Wildlife Area 4 miles west of Coshocton, Ohio while on a Birding tour provided by Time & Optics a Binocular and other Optics supplier in Holmes County, Ohio. this day I added 4 lifers to my Life list of birds I have seen. The day before on a birding trip to the Mohican area near Loudonville, Ohio, I added 7 birds to my life list! Birding was great but photography was not so great!

Meadowlark

This is a beautiful bird that loves to sing in the open fields. It’s the best photo I could from the distance I was away! This was in the Woodbury Wildlife Area 4 miles west of Coshocton, Ohio.

This was at the Mohican Gorge Overlook. It was a birding trip organized by “Time & Optics” a local shop that sells Clocks, binoculars, and spotting scopes, etc. It was a part of their yearly “Annual Optics Fling!”
