June 2017, Animalblog by Terry Costales
The early summer of June 2017 collection of bird and animal portraits by photographer Terry Costales and guests. |
 |
A White Pelican against a blue and cloudy sky.
|
 |
A beautifully streaked female Red-winged Blackbird made a bold stance amid the branches of a tree.
|
 |
A Killdeer alarmed at my proximity makes a slow break for it.
|
 |
Another Black Tern soaring at Fern Ridge.
|
 |
A Black Tern coming right at you! One of these days I'll get a really clear shot of this bird.
|
 |
A Female Anna's Hummingbird at the feeder remianed still long enough to get a good profile shot.
|
 |
A Female Rufous Hummingbird in my uncle's back yard.
|
 |
My uncle planted the "red hot pokers" outside his bedroom window. The flowers attract Hummers and Waxwings.
|
 |
A Tree Swallow about to enter its nesting box. I rarely, very rarely, get a shot of a swallow in flight.
|
 |
A Tree Swallow in a tree at Fern Ridge.
|
 |
A wide eyed Song Sparrow on the grass at Fern Ridge.
|
 |
Last shot of this year for Canada Geese goslings.
|
 |
Another family of Canadian Geese sailing in shallow water.
|
 |
More Canada Geese with goslings, this time in the grass.
|
 |
Canada Geese at Fern Ridge in May had many goslings.
|
 |
The Great Blue Heron began slowly stalking away after our close encounter.
|
 |
I came upon a Great Blue Heron which surprised both of us. He stood very close to the path instead of far off on the mudflats.
|
 |
A male Tree Swallow found a good vantage point from which to survey his territory.
|
 |
The Red-winged Blackbird here looks like someone pitched a tomato at him.
|
 |
The profile of the handsome Yellow-headed Blackbird.
|
 |
The male Yellow-headed Blackbird that was doing all the atrocious, but endearing "singing".
|
 |
A windblown Yellow-headed Blackbird paused his harsh singing.
|
 |
Two male Yellow-headed Blackbirds perched in a tree next to the path. They were beautiful birds, but made the most horrific sounds. I heard them from a distance and thought someone was torturing livestock.
|
 |
The female Red-winged Blackbird looks nothing like her mate.
|
 |
A female Red-winged Blackbird having a nice stretch.
