Pretty Lady – Yellow Warbler.

So often we consider the male to be the prettier bird, but this young lady holds her own when it comes to good looks. She has a soft delicateness to her. Normally Yellow warblers like to feed around 15-20 feet up in the trees and that makes them very difficult to get good photos of. They seem to hang out there just out of reach. Not this beauty. She was working the low lying shrubbery. In typical Warbler style, she paid no attention to me or the sound of the shutter going off. This outing was a unique encounter with which I will remember for quite some time, and I have pictures to help relive the moments!

Turkeys

I got a new lens and wanted to try it out, so the first stop was to Blendon Woods MP.  Here I found  a very cooperative pair of Turkeys!  I have wanted to get a photo of a Turkey displaying for several years and here was my chance! 












































Nice Beard too!
