Some more photos I took from around Harmon Reservoir and Stillwater NWR. I'm trying to get better about capturing little birds and birds in flight.

Spent yesterday afternoon out at Harmon Reservoir and Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge. Took some nice photos while there.

Today I co-led a bird walk (drive) around Stillwater NWR.

Cloudy, windy, rainy, and eventually a dust storm greeted our group of 8. But we saw 37 species we were able to identify. Several others we couldn't quite get the ID on.

Only got a handful of good photos.

I don't know how I saw this little sun spot amid all the leaves, but I'm grateful for the Yellow Warbler holding still long enough for a photo.

I don't think I've seen the gold feathers on a mourning dove's neck before. So pretty.

I was watching this black-crowned night heron when suddenly the snowy egret landed right there. Even though the second photo is slightly out of focus, I do like how it came out.

I did see a few delightful owls. Wasn't sure if anyone was home in the box until I saw a tail stick out as it moved around inside.

Been awhile since I've gone out birding so tried to get ahead of the massive wind storm and enjoyed the morning out at Stillwater NWR.
