LEFT-CLICK ON IMAGES TO ENLARGE
Yellow-rumped Warblers are here en masse during the winter months and often overlooked as common as they are but you gotta love the cute little guys / gals ! :)
The fidgety little Ruby-crowned Kinglets can drive you absolutely nuts as they never seem to sit still especially when it's time for their picture to be taken. :)
This Red-tailed Hawk with his dark-colored chin was a most unusual Raptor to find in Calcasieu Parish.
Bill Clark wrote, "This is a somewhat unusual adult Red-tail. I have seen similar adults in Alberta in summer. It seems to have a mixture of genes, mainly northern (abieticola), but with some western and some Harlan's. The dark throat comes from the first and last of the above."
The Red-tailed Hawks with their subspecies and variations make their ID most challenging.
Meadowlark
This immature Red-shouldered Hawk with his ruffled feathers was perched atop a limb amidst a set of trees overlooking a pasture while keeping a sharp lookout for a meal below.
Can you feel the intensity?
Thanks for looking! :)
