Wood Duck (m)

 

Wood Duck hens are beauties. And not shy about getting close to cameras.

 

Here's why Tufted Titmouses sometimes don't show much of a tuft....A submissive Tufted Titmouse lowers its crest, sleeking it down like a skullcap when interacting with dominant birds. Juvenile Tufted Titmice, which have lower social status than adults, often keep their crests down when the more dominant adults are around.

 

This morning's glow.

A Coopers Hawk locked in on a squirrel. Or possibly my forehead.

 

A Green Heron pretty intent on spearing his next victim.
