I went back to T. M. Goodwin last week. I got these Summer residents to pose.

Beautiful captures, I especially like the stilts. Those red-winged blackbirds are everywhere the last few weeks, nice having them around.
Thanks for sharing.

Very nice! Isn't the first one really a tri-color blackbird?

Thanks Jeff for looking. I think that if it were a Tricolored (after checking my Sibley) it would be 3000 miles off course. Stranger things have happened though.

Interesting question. I had to look it up, and seems tri-coloreds are only on the far West Coast of the US, and the photo is from The T.M. Goodwin WFMA in Florida. The images of tri-colors I looked at showed all white under the red epaulets and no yellow.

Excellent series of photographs.
Well taken/captured.
The Alligator is good timing.

Very nice captures! A young girl was bitten by a gator somewhere around here yesterday. She is OK but it is a good reminder - high fives might be ok but avoid handshakes!

Thanks for looking cwilson341. I always try to have an exit strategy and a safe distance.
