I was indeed. Such a great place, especially this time of year

As early spring migration continues, more and more species are arriving here in upstate New York. This week's favorite is the Northern Shoveler. A stunning, well adapted member of the dabbling duck family. Until we meet again....... #birds #springmigration #photography

Early spring migration is in full swing here on the Susquehanna River. Here are a few of the recent visitors. All images captured by me here in Owego, NY. Descriptions in the alt text. #birds #waterfowl #springmigration #photography

Wood Duck drake. He was one of many that came by dabbling away.

Ring-necked drake. I am seeing more and more of them as migration continues.

Northern Pintail drake. This was last week when the ice was stilling flowing out.

Seeing this male Northern Cardinal waiting out the rain was a pleasant surprise on a wet, dreary day. #birds #photography

I was able to find the Northern Harriers this weekend. Watching them hunt is very exciting. Their abilities in flight are mind blowing to watch. This photo shows the female as she suddenly changes direction and drops into the field below. #birds #photography #canon

A recent "taillights" view of a female Northern Harrier. A well engineered raptor, and very exciting to observe. #birds #photography

I waited in the brush for for what felt like forever and finally this Wood Duck emerged from the snag where he had been preening amongst the thick branches. Breathtaking to be this close to such a beautiful drake. #birds #wildlife #photography #naturephotography #canon

The morning sunshine led me to this beautiful Eastern Bluebird. He was in a small group and the scattered flashes of blue were pleasing to observe on this cold, windy day. #birds #photography #naturephotography #canon #wildlifephotography #bluebird

A portrait of Mary, the female of the mated pair here at home. There will be eggs in the nest any day now, reminding me that spring is just around the corner. #birds #photography #canon #naturephotography

Thank you. My timing was good to travel through Florida. Lots of mating activity to observe. I've always wanted to see British Columbia. The allure of it is more tangible now than ever

As the bright, warm sun sank lower in the sky, the frigid ten degree temperature faded for a moment. This Red-tailed Hawk had flown in and was preening close by. A very nice winter evening. #birds #photography #nature
