Red Shouldered Hawk at Tawes Garden

Between the rainy, cloudy weather and work, I haven’t gottten much done in the last few days. The little time I’ve spent birding has been quite unproductive in terms of migrating birds, which is my focus at the moment.
Here’s a few images form the various places I’ve been recently.

Red Shouldered Hawk

Red Shouldered Hawk

I’ve photographed the Red Shouldered Hawk before. Look closely, and you’ll see he’s eating a frog.

Goldfinch

It’s good to see the colorful Goldfinch is back for the Summer.

Cardinal

Cardinals are plentiful everywhere.

Indigo Bunting

This Indigo Bunting is probably looking for a mate.



Snowy Egret

Snowy Egret 26

Several Snowy Egrets were fishing in this pond.

Eastern Kingbird

Eastern Kingbirds are becoming more numerous.

Cedar Waxwing

This Cedar Waxwing was gathering nesting material.

Beaver

It’s unusual for me to see this much of a Beaver out of the water.

Yellow Billed Cuckoo

I saw a large bird fly into a tree in the parking lot and snapped a couple of quick pictures. I was surprised to see it’s a Yellow Billed Cuckoo.
