  1. Gorgeously graphic and vividly pink-legged, Black-necked Stilts are one of my favorite bird species. This female was foraging in a shallow marsh while her mate took his turn sitting on the nest.

  3. A handful of adult and juvenile Eastern Kingbirds entertained us at Blackwater NWR last year, singing and flitting back and forth between the trees along the road between marsh ponds. We finally got a shot of these two against a gorgeous blue sky.

    Missing this lovely winter visitor who was at our feeders almost every day from December 26th through February 11th. Hope it has found a cozy, warmer spot to ride out the season.

  5. Three years ago I turned a corner on a hiking path and was utterly delighted to see this groundhog standing on its back legs. We quietly startled each other then went our separate ways.

  6. Birding opportunities are currently thin on the frozen snow and sleet ground, so @CTGT and I were quite excited to add this Lapland Larkspur to our lifer list last weekend. This non-breeding adult was hanging out with a Horned Lark that had a broken beak and a Dark-eyed Junco.

  7. Dreaming of the sound of waves lapping the shore, the cries of gulls and terns, and the sun’s golden warmth bathing my face on this bitterly cold #FootpathFriday.

  8. Winter has arrived with a vengeance. Thankfully, we don’t get a lot of snow and sleet (eleven-and-a-half inches now) or many morning lows in the single digits in Maryland (9 degrees currently), so I’m choosing #DelightOverDarkness and focusing on winter’s beauty.

  9. “Trouble is in the land; confusion all around … But I know, somehow, that only when it is dark enough, can you see the stars.” ~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

  10. Happy #NationalBirdDay!

    This Black-necked Stilt, a mother-to-be enjoying some quiet foraging time while her mate took his turn on their nest, was my favorite lifer sighting last year.

    This year’s first fave lifer sighting candidate - a Western Kingbird quite far away from its home - delighted us on just the second day of the year. A quick sighting from the back on a cold, cloud-covered day made for less than ideal pictures, but you can see a bit of its distinguishing lemon yellow belly if you zoom in.

  11. From disappointment to delight: If our extended family Christmas gathering hadn’t been postponed by wintry weather, we wouldn’t have been home to see this pretty little late-to-migrate Orange-crowned Warbler at our backyard feeders the last two days.

  17. A year after coming oh-so-close to finally seeing a Clay-colored Sparrow, I finally clapped eyes and bins on one. Last November one was repeatedly sighted at a nearby location so @CTGT and I headed out to find this rare-in-our-area small sparrow. After four hours with no success, I had to leave to attend a workshop. My husband and a friend stayed to continue the search and, of course, found it. One returned to our neck of the woods about two weeks ago and after three visits, I was finally rewarded with adding this skulky little creature to my lifer list.
