Jordan Lake. The sheer astonishment that I feel when observing a bird in flight is of the same intensity whether I have just photographed the majesty of a bald eagle or the delicate dance of a prothonotary warbler. Flight: an act that almost defies gravity.
Big birds, little birds, plain brown or black birds and one of startling color!

The tiny brown-headed nuthatch has snagged one of her favorite sources of protein:
a spider from the web below her.
This brilliantly yellow bird is a prothonotary warbler.
They come for the summer nesting season.
A northern rough-winged swallow:
a tiny speed demon that loves to consume flying insects such as mosquitos.
There is WAY more branch here than osprey!
I would have loved to have been able to see him get it into his nest.

I really appreciate their contributions to the cleanup around the lake.
