I didn't get many bird shots this summer, but here are a few. This first one is more of a documentry shot than a good bird photo. As much as I hate to admit it, this guy had me stumped. Here is an immature Orchard Oriole! I never saw the parents as that would have clued me in pretty fast. I saw these guys every week when I went out the wetland area at Highbanks to check bluebird boxes.
While photographing the Oriole, I found this Willow Flycatcher hanging out in the same thicket.
The wetland pond at Highbanks always has families of Wood Ducks on it. They are pretty skitish, but I snuck up on this guy.
Heading out to Glacier Ridge Metro Park a few day later, I was hoping for some grassland birds. It was not to be that day. A little late in the year, but I did manage this photo of a Killdeer!
