Male Snowy Egrets in Breeding Plumage – Part 2

Male Snowy Egret in Breeding Plumage – P5
Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, Titusville, Florida, USA; FEB 2024

Last week, I shared a single image of a Snowy Egret in breeding plumage. That particular egret was at the pinnacle of his readiness to breed as was indicated by the bright red lore (the mask between his beak and eyes). However, male snowys grow and display their breeding plumage before they reach their peak readiness at which time their lore is still yellow. Though not as stunning, they are still beautiful.

Two Dark-eyed Juncos

by Earthwatcher, posted in Atlanta, Bellevue, Bird Photography, bird watching, birding, Birds, Earthwatcher, GA, Georgia, nature, Nature Photography, Roswell, Uncategorized, Washington, Wildlife, Wildlife Photography

There are several subspecies of Dark-eyed Juncos: the Oregon, the Slate-gray, the Canadian Rocky Mountain, the White-winged, the Pink-sided, and the Gray-headed. I’ve only been fortunate enough to see two of them. They are a type of Sparrow. They all have black eyes and a pink bill.

When I visit the west coast, I see the Oregon sub-species. Here in Georgia and other eastern US locations, I see the Slate-gray. I’m always amazed at their beauty.

Squirrel Appreciation Day

Western Gray Squirrel

I realized that I made a grievous error; last Sunday was Squirrel Appreciation Day and I failed to do a post in their honor. So, to the members of the family Sciuridae, Belated Squirrel Appreciation Day.

Every photo in this post is of a unique type of squirrel, Chipmunks, Marmots and Prairie Dogs. I don’t have any Ground Hog pictures, but they are squirrels too.
