Lots of Ring-necks this particular morning.

Lots of ducks and geese this morning. This is one of two Redhead drakes I photographed.

I spotted this Mottled Duck hen hanging with other Mottled Ducks and Mottled X Mallard hybrids. It struck me odd that this duck would have an antenna sticking out of its back. The thought even crossed my mind that it might be radio controlled, but that went away fast when I noticed it feeding...

Hunting on the edge of a field.

I finally got one of these little guys to sit still long enough to get a pretty good portrait.

Very common little bird, but they are pretty cool to watch. I have several living around my house and they like to hide under my porch, steps, and car. They often scold me when I'm standing someplace they want to hunt.

This one was gleaning insect eggs from the leaves. Look close and you can see one at the tip of its beak.

Caught this guy raiding my Elderberries.

Caught a photo of this little guy deep in the treetops of a hammock in Green Cay Wetlands, Boynton Beach, Florida. He's the first warbler seen this fall migration season!

I was watching several Kites soaring over the yard and saw this one acting like it was going to dive on prey. So I just followed it around its circle, and sure enough, it dove on the next pass. It dove below the tree line and I saw it flying off through the branches but didn't see what it had...

This guy is "King of the Porch". I really like this shot because it just isn't a shot of a lizard. The colors seem to work and my lens did a great job with the background. A lot of people don't realize that the Brown Anole is a different species than the Carolina (Green) Anole (Anolis...
