Avian activity was pretty subdued again this morning. Although, I did get a few shots of my favorites – the Osprey – doing their thing, I really added nothing spectacular to my memory card. The smaller birds ended up grabbing my attention most. Featured is a little House Wren who was singing up a storm and was so perfectly framed in the early morning light that I just had to snap a portrait. Also pictured here is an American Kestrel laser focused on something.
