I waited almost too long to capture a soaring turkey vulture before it was obscured by a tree.

Watchful
This Laughing Gull kept a close eye on me during the ferry crossing from the Bolivar Peninsula to Galveston Island.
Snared
A Mourning Dove is snared in a tangle of twigs.
Clinging
Clinging to the suet feeder block cage, this Downy Woodpecker takes advantage of the largess.
Contrast
This Downy Woodpecker’s crest contrasts interestingly with the muted colours infusing this image.
Perspective
Two of our bird feeders lined up well from where I sat and made for an interesting perspective.
Serenade
This gathering of Common Grackles provided quite a musical, squeaky-hinge serenade to an evening outside.
Squadron
During a recent trip to Windsor we took the scenic route, travelling on Highway 3. Route 3 rarely strays far from the Lake Erie shore. Since this is migrating season we were privileged to see hundreds of migrating Turkey Vultures including and this squadron of 17 individuals. What graceful birds, swooping, soaring, and riding the wind!
Visitor
A female House Sparrow drops in for a meal.
Testing
Primary feathers splayed and testing the gusty wind, a turkey vulture gracefully sails the wind-sea.
