Canada Goose and Bald Eagle on the Allegheny Reservoir near Onoville, New York. Using the computer to enlarge the photo since my tele wasn’t long enough caused the pixelation. Decided I would still publish it! 🙂

This is what happens when my wife and I take a walk in the woods, and I hand her the camera! This was in Corning, NY. We do like to explore trails in different communities. A highlight of this hike was to see three Pileated Woodpeckers closeup! This was at the Spencer Crest Nature Center near Corning, NY!
Getting used to my new mirrorless camera (Sony ZV-E10). I was parked on the road trying to capture a photo of this wild turkey that was crossing the road, and then trying to get over a fence. So it goes.
On this day I enjoyed the many sightings of birds and animals. A sandhill crane out in a farmer’s field, this turkey crossing the road, and on three occasions deer standing beside the road watching me go by. I stayed with this family, who had Baltimore Orioles coming to their feeder, like I have house finches, and goldfinch coming to mine! In the evening we strolled down to a large pond and caught a mess of crappies, and bluegills, which were enjoyed the next morning at breakfast! Their little boy is around 9 months old! This all happened on my two day, 1,000 mile trip into Michigan this week.
Enjoy your day and the rest of the week!
Oriental Magpie Robin! This bird stood quite still for this portrait! Other birds were more elusive. I joined a group for the contest to see how many birds could be seen in 1 hour. I added the Orange-headed Thrush and Black-naped Oriole to my life list bringing it up to 324 species! I also recorded 13 other species, of which my favorite is the Rose-ringed Parakeet photographed below.
A bird coloring contest for children at the Bird Festival 2023 held at Jahangirnagar University, Savar, Bangladesh.
This reminds me of a game we had when I was a young boy, in which we used a rubber-band shooter or dart-shooter to flip birds off of a perch!
