What a difference a day makes! Instead of all clouds, today it was NO clouds. Most of the birds were pretty busy today – not many took the time to pose for me. Today’s featured image is what could be a Rock Wren – its a Wren for sure. I tried to capture a Swallow in flight but the results were not exactly award winning. While I was trying to photograph the Swallows I noticed an American Kestrel blast through the swirl of birds – trying for a capture of a different type. The Kestrel was as successful as I was so I didn’t feel so bad. Otherwise Spring is starting to whip things into shape. Posted here is some blooming Golden Currant (according to Google) and below is another portrait of the little owlet.
