As near as I can remember this another “lifer” for me!! I was made aware of it’s presence by a number of birders beside the marsh intently gazing in it’s direction!

I took this photo with a 7D Mark II camera and 100-400 lens I borrowed from the Canon folks at their booth at the entrance to Magee Marsh during BWIAB. I loved the camera and lens, though at my age, not sure I want to carry it around all day! As you may have noticed, the series of photos of my trip to Washington D.C. has finished, as now I will likely be featuring photos of the birds I photographed at the Magee Marsh boardwalk, etc. The Red-breasted Nuthatch was a lifer for me, meaning in Birdwatcher language, the first time you saw it in your life!
After several days of trying to capture a photo of a Carolina Wren, I was successful! We were walking on the Rails to Trails trail near Millersburg, Ohio.
As well as a sparrow!
Seen on the Holmes County, Rails to Trails-Trail, near Millersburg!
Jean Tubridy of socialbridge@wordpress.com was curious as to how the American Robin differed from the European Robin seen in Ireland!
Seen in a Canastota, New York front yard near a feeder.
Great Blue Heron at the Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge, Delaware.
ISO-4,000, 70mm, f/5.0, 1/500 sec, using a Canon 7D with Canon EF 70-300 zoom lens!
After weeks and months trying to lure birds to my suet and birdsong bird feeders, this bird finally showed up. I had seen it in the neighbor’s bushes, but until recently wasn’t aware I had food he would enjoy!
Not yet, at least in America! It looks like we will only “Dream of a White Christmas” this year! I stole this photo from last winter’s collection.
Happy Christmas Eve!
