Yellow Bird
Posted by Lee (Fort Frances Ontario, Canada) on 20 May 2009 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.
This is one of the shots I mentioned two days ago. While shooting the Black & White Warbler, this Cape May Warbler happened by. This is a species that is relatively common here in summer also. Most if not all the warblers are now back.
There was quite a flurry of activity in the matter of moments of this shot. As I mentioned the other day several different species of birds were congregated in this area. And they all wanted to have their portrait taken. I was in heaven for a few moments. Actually the whole weekend was a worthwhile endeavor.
Unfortunately I could not find any animals worth takinga picture of, so you'll have to put up with bird shots for a while.
Thank you for visiting my site. I consider myself to be lucky living where I do. Everyday I wake up to a wealth of interesting visual scenarios. Most of my pictures are Wildlife and Nature taken from around the area. The area specifically being Fort Frances Ontario on beautiful Rainy Lake. Feel free to comment on what you see. I look forward to hearing from you. If you like what you see, please rate it. Better yet, bookmark the site and drop back often. I will be posting daily.
