Taking turns.

This pair of Least Flycatchers were taking turns surveiling and hunting in an open area of the campground I stopped to rest in. Obviously very effective at their task, I'm sure the hungrily waiting young appreciated their efficiency.

Not alone in the woods.

On a much needed backpacking trip this weekend I got to spend some time with this "pair" of Sandhill Cranes. I was initially surprised that they did not immediately take flight when they noticed my presence but what is not shown in the photographs is the fuzzy little head of their offspring they were doing a masterful job of hiding in the tall fauna along the beaver pond, I was only able to catch just a passing glance myself.

Red Crescent.

Lights were a no show. Doesn't mean there is nothing to photograph while you sit alone in the dark, though I wasn't completely alone as I had the company of a small young skunk who kept popping up.

A couple more shots from the tail end of the lights last night. Threw an accidental double exposure in that I thought looked kinda cool too.

Caught the tail end of the light show tonight! Definitely worth standing on a beach surrounded by strangers that I can't see to witness the lights extending this far south.

Late night friends.

I don't do much photography at night unless I'm photographing the moon or stars but when I found this late night visitor to my backyard I couldn't pass up the opportunity to catch a closeup.

Fall foliage.

Haven't gotten out nearly as much as I had hoped to with the fall colors hitting but caught some early fall colors with this Golden-crowned Kinglet while out at the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge.

Branches and light.

Found this chunky little White-throated Sparrow in a small section of forest at the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge as birds all around were singing and calling to each other and preparing for whatever migration routes they had yet to travel.

Identification anxiety.

Some birds are extremely easy to identify, others not so much and I definitely struggle with the little brown birds. I believe this is a Clay-colored Sparrow which I believe is the first time I've captured one. This little one popped out for a snack just as I was walking by and stared at me inquisitively as I stared back through my long lens.

Popular destination.

Thankful for a sunny day as I sat and observed the Tree Swallows darting for insects and playing tag with each other, this log really was the place to be as it got swarmed every few minutes. If you look hard enough there is one hiding in plain sight, do you see it?
