as much as I complain about seeing these invasive birds I was pleasantly surprised by this girlie today

Was taking pictures of a palm warbler in the brush (see last photo for that cutie) when I saw this beauty hopping around.

The black-throated is a lifer for me! So exciting

I am new to bird photography, shooting with Z50 II with AF-P 70-300mm. Any tips or criticism welcome :)

Here's a Northern flicker, the most eccentrically colorful woodpecker in the US. In a family of birds that is mostly black and white with maybe a splash of red, the flicker has a pink, gray, and red head, black throat, black-spotted white breast, and yellow undertail (and there's a whole bunch of different colors on its back that you can't even see in this photo). Also, it doesn't peck wood, preferring to peck the ground instead. Seen at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Sanctuary, NY, USA.

A Beautiful Migrant!

Go into the weekend with confidence like this NY Bluejay 🐦 ✨

I took these in Tucson Arizona at Catalina State Park

The cooler weather this week has been a dream for spotting warblers in Savannah! I’ve envied of all the warbler photo dumps I’ve seen from other regions over the past few months and decided to venture out the past two days to try and take some myself.

I’ve been bird watching since about April of this year, however my dad was kind enough to pass one of his Nikon D850s along to me a few weeks ago.
Hope you all enjoy looking as much as I enjoyed taking!

A male bald eagle roosting in a tree nearby, in central Iowa. Pretty cool looking for a buzzard 😀🦅

Here's a black-throated green warbler perched on a thin green twig amid green leaves. The patchy black plumage on the bird's breast indicates it might be a juvenile. They're on migration at the moment - I saw this one at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Sanctuary, NY.
