This Yellow Throated Warbler was really tough to capture. It finally landed in the open for a few seconds, but never looked in my direction.

Excellent shots @Marilynne I always love seeing what new creatures you come up with the glossy Ibis is beautiful.

 

[Marilynne]

Thanks Scott. First time seeing the glossy with the reddish head. Usually they're all glossy.

Unknown bird - to bad focus was on the branch

Still don't know what kind of bird - I think it was a warbler of some sort

First time seeing a Caspian Tern in the area.

The Blue Jays have been flying all over the place lately. This one just posed nicely.

When I stopped my bike this ring was covered in turtles. This is what I got after taking my camera out of the bag. You can see some splashes and water rings.

Ever wonder how they clear/clean a canal? Wonder no more.

The Great Egret is hoping for a free meal

This side has already been cleared/cleaned.
