These two Pacific Race Pelicans in their breeding plumage with bright yellow head feathers and red pouches are illuminated by the golden hour light.

The evening golden light shimmers off the water as this Ring-necked duck takes flight. Arriving early or staying late can provide some wonderful light.

A female wood duck on a green pond with blurred background.
Lady of the Lincoln Park Lagoon.
I love seeing wildlife in the heart of major cities such as this Wood Duck in a pond in one of Chicago’s busiest parks.

This Painted Bunting is easy to distinguish from the all green female. The male has a bright blue head, an orange eye ring, yellow and green one the back, and a red belly. The wings are a mixture of purple, green, yellow and blue.
This male Painted Bunting looking splendid as usual. The female is typically all green. I captured this image in south east Texas. #birds #birdphotography #usbird 🦉 #birdsoftheworld #nature #wildlife #NaturePhotography #BirdWatching #photography

A male Brandt's cormorant standing proud on his nest with a female by his side looking a little shy. Their Cobalt blue eyes make for a stunning look.

The soft light and green background offers a nice contrast to the red and orange of the Northern Cardinal. Not as colorful as a male, but still looks nice.
A Female Northern Cardinal in some nice late afternoon light. Sony a1 and 200-600, 1/2500s, f/7.1, ISO 1000. I had the shutter set high in case it took off. #birds #birdphotography #usbird 🦉 #birdsoftheworld #nature #wildlife #NaturePhotography #BirdWatching #photography

Using a slow shutter speed and panning with the bird, the background has streaks giving a sense of motion, while the outline of the Cormorant is recognizable.
When the weather is gloomy, wet and windy I practice panning flight photography. Standing on a cliff, I was able to get eye level with this Cormorant in flight. #birds #birdphotography #usbird 🦉 #birdsoftheworld #birdinflight #wildlife #NaturePhotography #BirdWatching #photography

A somewhat minimalistic look to this image of a single Marbled Godwit probing the sand with its long bill. The wet sand gives off a subtle reflection of the bird.

A Pacific Race Pelican Pelican resting on a rock in soft light. The bright yellow feathers on its head makes for an impressive sight.
With a wing span of around 7 feet, the Pelican is an impressive bird to see in flight. This resting Pacific Race Pelican is equally impressive.Sony a1 & 200-600, #birds #birdphotography #usbird #pelican #birdsoftheworld #nature #wildlife #NaturePhotography #BirdWatching #photography

I watched the Egret hunt for crustaceans in the early morning. Here it managed to locate a sea snail.

An Acorn Woodpecker looking off into the distance while perched on top of a tree.
You know you are too far away when 600mm and a 30% crop is not enough. Still, it was a nice sighting of an Acorn Woodpecker. Sony a1 & 200-600, f/6.3, 1/1600, ISO 640. #birds #birdphotography #usbird #birdsoftheworld #BirdWatching #photography #woodpecker

The Quail was walking from right to left. The last of the good (and soft) morning light creates a pleasing scene with the green background offering a nice contrast.
This Northern Bobwhite (Quail) was kind enough to walk into the scene in the last of the good light. Sony a1 and 200-600, manual, 600mm, f/6.3, 1/2500s, ISO 640. #birds #usbird #birdphotography #birdsoftheworld #wildlife #NaturePhotography #BirdWatching #photography

A Cardinal squawking at a Bronzed-cow bird. It looks like the Cardinal is shouting in the ear of the other birds they site on the same perch. Sony a1 and 200-600 at 470mm, f/6.3, 1/2000s, ISO 640.
“For the last time, this is my spot!” See ALT for more info and settings. #birds #birdphotography #usbird 🦉 #birdsoftheworld #Cardinal #Bronzedcowbird #nature #wildlife #BirdWatching #photography
